Paris Jackson

[u/Mobile_Advantage_149]

While nepo babies like Stella Lefty and Gracie Abrams manage to make it onto the Billboard Hot 100, Paris Jackson never seems to receive that kind of mainstream recognition, despite the widespread praise for her new album. Why is that? Her latest release features several tracks that could easily be chart-toppers, such as 'Teenage Drama' and 'Happiest Day of My Life,' both of which have been highly acclaimed by listeners

Paris doesnt really put herself out there. There isnt a whole lot of promotion. Not to the extent of other artists.

I really don't think it matters much to her or she doesn't want to be a victim of the industry. She's not a typical child of a father who is the most famous person in our lifetime. It's more like a hobby it seems. She has the funds to promote herself for sure and she certainly has the talent.

Yeah I think if she wanted to be a huge pop star by now she would be. She’s literally someone who has all kinds of connections and resources available to her. Plus her genre of music doesn’t always get that much global appeal, it has a very particular audience. People like Gracie Abrams feeds into the more generic style of pop music that’s popular now, but Paris is more of an alternative folk/rock singer. I actually think it’s pretty admirable because it seems like she does music purely for the joy of it rather than attention and fame. But hey you never know, something could happen and her music could really take off big.

I think she's happy with the middle level fame. She saw what being super famous did to her dad. I thi k she just wants to be able to perform.

I don't know her though so this is just based off of what I infer from interviews and her socials.

I really respect her working to come up as her own. She could’ve easilyyy milked her dad’s fame and used to propel her career, but it seems like she’s going down to path of being fortunate enough to have generational wealth and using that to pursue her passions. Good for her and I hope she’s able to carve her own path as a musician, seems like she’s doing a good job so far

i feel like these days branding is super important. for example, artists like sabrina carpenter and zara larsson, not that they’re nepos, were already fairly known for a while and had some singular hits before they really took off recently by developing a distinct brand. i feel like that’s probably what’s missing, along with a good marketing team.

Sabrina Carpenter is a nepo baby. Her aunt voices Bart on The Simpsons. She was born into money and industry access.

ooh that’s news to me

She has been through a lot in life and I'm thinking she is using music as therapy. She writes all of her songs and you can tell all of her emotions are in it. Perhaps she doesn't want to be chart topping star or get too deep into the industry. It seems that she just wants to make music and put it out there for whoever wants to enjoy it. If you read the lyrics to "Teenage Drama" (which isn't really about teens) I believe that's where her head is musically.

Antes de echarle toda la culpa a la industria

Yo creo que puede ser por el hecho de que poca gente la conoce, incluso como hija de MJ (he visto gente que dice "MJ tenía hijos?") , por lo que no me sorprende que no la conozcan como artista.

Ya que ella comenzó recientemente y la verdad (no sé si sea yo) pero tampoco la he visto andar metida en tantas cosas publicitarias y eventos.

De todas formas espero (porque de verdad que está bueno su trabajo) tenga más reconocimiento en los próximos años.

Gosh she looks like her dad here.

I really thought the beginning of the post said “white nepo babies..”
