It’s a new era in fashion – there are no rules. It’s all about the individual and personal style, wearing high-end, low-end, classic labels, and up-and-coming designers all together.

At the end of the day, it’s not the labels buying the music: it’s the people out there, and you have to be behind the music and not anyone else. You’re the one representing it, you’re playing it for everyone; you’re doing promotion and travelling around the world.

We turned what is virtually a glorified independent label into one of the powerhouse labels in the town.
8
Even myself, I believe that as an artist I should pursue more independent activities. If more artists believe in this and are active about it, they will be able to accomplish more on their own, without the influence of entertainment labels.

Formats are going to change because this is what the people want. It’s not what the labels want.

You know how it is with drawers and labels in the music business. They don’t want anything to be complicated. They just want it simple, as simple as possible.

I’m not – I’m not going to define people by labels: who’s a real Republican, who’s not a real Republican.

31
I don’t like labels. For me, saying I’m transgender was just a thing to say because it’s what people want to label me as – a female, who’s a male.
32

35
Basically we just created our own label, but again we just did it to document our own music and create our own thing, so the major labels were just always out of our picture, we’re not interested.
36
37
I’ve never concerned myself with the labels people want to put on you. What matters to me is my own estimation.
38
I hate labels.

To be honest, the search for a label was really weird, because some of the labels that you wouldn’t expect to care about stuff like radio formats were the ones that did care. They were like, ‘Yeah, we love this record, but what are we going to play on the radio?’ And I was like, ‘You don’t have bands on the radio.’

People don’t know how to reach record labels, and a lot of time labels don’t listen to stuff that’s sent in randomly.

We really shouldn’t be putting a label on size. Fashion is for all, and I think confidence and happiness is more important than dress labels.
52
53
Labels are for cans, not people.
54
In early days of Live Nation, we really believed it was important to be a direct-to-consumer business, which the labels aren’t and no promoter was at the time. By merging with Ticketmaster, we could we give the artist a direct relationship with the fan.
55
We have incredible record labels in Australia, but sometimes they have a preconceived idea of how to do things.
56
We, as a people, we have a strong need to categorize everything. We put labels on everything and it’s a totally understandable need because we are animals and we need to understand order and where to fit in.
57

59
Labels don’t really impress, it’s the uniqueness and risk in decor that inspire.

61
If people stop being interested, it’s because you haven‘t written a good enough album. Music will always be the most powerful thing. It doesn’t matter what record labels or journalists say. It’s the song.

Major labels didn’t start showing up really until they smelled money, and that’s all they’re ever going to be attracted to is money-that’s the business they’re in- making money.
68
Major labels don’t want to take chances on cooler, indie kind of things. People only know, unfortunately, what they’re being spoon-fed.

70
Conservatism is all about surfaces and labels and presentation, and drag says no, we refuse to follow any rules about that.
71
There were so many different labels coming to me and they just didn’t seem right, but 300… they wanted me bad. It felt like a family.
72
I never want to promote an ad that makes women feel bad about themselves, because when I was young, I never felt rich enough or fashionable enough or good enough. I felt talked down to by luxury fashion labels. There was a disconnect. They made me feel we weren’t right for each other.
73
You always hear ‘black Republican,’ but you never hear ‘white Democrat.’ We’ve got to get beyond the labels and stereotypes. Other people have hang-ups about it. I don’t.
74
75
I have friends who have a CD mastering plant in Hollywood and they are very sceptical about European record labels’ understanding of digital technology.
76
I tend to not want to put labels or categories on the music, only because people come with preconceived ideas about what they’re going to hear, or won’t come for this reason.
77
78
79
I hate labels; the problem is that if you say you’re one thing, it’s hard for people to imagine you as something else. Music is way more complicated than that.
80
I’m a kid who grew up in an all African-American neighborhood and got into schools and aspired to just be me, and didn’t worry about labels or anything. Just wanted to be a success at what I did.
81

83
Labels are for filing. Labels are for clothing. Labels are not for people.
84

I do like nice things; we do live in a great house, but I don’t choose my friends by how much money they have or what labels they’re wearing.

Worldwide is an overused word. But it’s true that being known has given me new ideas and a chance to get to know new people who think in different ways. I want to hear myself referred to as Elie Saab, without labels or titles.
94
It harms me when people say I am ‘non-mainstream’ or ‘non-commercial’ actor. I try to fight off such labels.
95
96
There are people who are genetically made to start record labels, and I’m not one of those people. People just have it in their blood and are good at it. Corey Rusk from Touch and Go and Ian MacKaye. These are people who have made their own labels.
97
Leaving the record companies tweaked something inside me and I realised I don’t have to deal with labels to make something happen. If I want to meet someone, I don’t have to go through the label – I’ll just go to them. I took my life in my hands and social media has just helped me do that more.
98
It’s hard to legislate what people eat. People are getting fed up with being told what they can and can’t do. It boils down to personal responsibility. People need to read labels, do their research and act accordingly.
99
If anything, I’m the most hesitant to bring on a label. That terrifies me. I think people believe major labels are linked to success. They’re absolutely not that.
100
Labels are irrelevant. It’s the results.
101
It’s horrible when people are only interested in buying labels, because it doesn’t bring them the happiness they think it will.
102
There’s definitely some sort of dissent brewing between labels, publishing companies and artists. A lot of it has to do with older licensing schemes.
103
104
The hard left labels anyone who challenges it ‘divisive.’ The leftists live in a world where everyone is free to look different but must think the same. I don’t play their game. I threaten them and their narrative. That’s why they slap the ‘divisive’ label and attempt to dismiss me. It’s not going to work – not on me.
105
Georgians aren’t interested in labels or affiliation, they’re interested in solutions. And that begins by making Washington smaller and America bigger!
106
107
108
Everybody who labels themselves a ‘nerd‘ isn’t some giant person locked in a cubbyhole who’s never seen the opposite sex. Especially with the way the Internet is now, I think that definition is getting a little more diffuse.
109
110
111
112
I don’t care what people call me, labels have the negative value of making smaller boundaries for people.
113
114
115
Major labels don’t play with samples not being cleared.
116
Putting labels on entire groups of people makes things much simpler. If all New Yorkers are pushy, or all politicians are dishonest, we don’t have to do the hard work of figuring out who’s who.
117
118
119
Labels don’t mean anything to me. I’m trying to play as passionately as I’m able to. If they want to call that cool, that’s fine. Just spell the name right, is the formula.

I hate record labels. They think they know everything. I want to hear them try to sing it.
125
126
A lot of people are trying to get me to go solo. It’s just a thing I have to deal with a lot. Record labels are always trying to get me to go solo.
127
128
129
I’m a Hollywood pinhead; I don’t know about political labels.
130
I’ve gone through a lot of ‘nos’ from record labels but I’ve built a great team along the way and that’s the best thing you can have – people around you who believe in you and drive you forward.
131
I’ve always ignored the labels people put on things.
132
I hate labels.
133
134
135
136
You’re not a combination of all your labels. You just are.
137
138
Labels need to work with artists to help them achieve their best work, not to jam records out that are half-baked or three-quarters baked.
139
I don’t put labels on myself.
140
141
Open your refrigerator, your freezer, your kitchen cupboards, and look at the labels on your food. You’ll find ‘natural flavor‘ or ‘artificial flavor’ in just about every list of ingredients. The similarities between these two broad categories are far more significant than the differences.
142
So So Def has been one of the most successful and consistent labels in the game in the last 10 years.
143
144
Sixty felt like a big landmark. Not in a dreadful sense, but none of the other birthdays have bothered me. It’s got labels on it – OAP, retirement – and I just wanted to take stock. I wanted to be in my greenhouse at home and at least give myself the opportunity of not working again.

When I did the record, I was coming off a time when my contract had been sold and the music industry had changed a lot. I didn’t understand how to make records for big labels. I was waiting for a new kind of record label to emerge.
150
I was always looking to record, but how much I actually pursued it was another thing. The major labels weren’t that interested in me, and the smaller labels didn’t have any money to do anything.
151
152
153
154
155
I know that often times a lot of people who work in music, whether they be labels and so on or even artists, want personal recognition. We want to be recognized for something, for what we did. I’d rather my song be recognized for what it’s doing and that’s important. It’s not so important how many people know me.
156
I was having a lot of mixed feelings about the independent world as well as the label world. I feel like I’ve been in the game a long time, and you know, when it come to labels not seeing a fella being around the last five years, it’s like, it’s hard to convince them what I can do.
157
158
159
160
161
We are too quick to put labels on things. It is my profession. I get up and paint. Everyone wants to put a label on it, but I am a free spirit, so I fight against that.
162
163
You know, the European record labels always say, ‘We want 12 songs and then we want bonus songs,’ and you’re going, ‘What for? Why?’ That’s not a record.
164
165
I love music and musicians. And seeing great artists dropped from labels was really frustrating and sad to me.
166
167
People at the record labels were like, ‘We don’t want to sign you, you’re girls’ – sexist, ridiculous nonsense.
168
169
The problem is that resuscitating old labels doesn’t work anymore. I think it is very important to give hope to a new generation of designers, so that one day they really can put their own names out there.
170
171
That’s what we were exploring on ‘Larry Sanders’ – the human qualities that have brought us to where we are now in the world: the addiction to needing more and wanting more and talking more. We were examining the labels put on success – is it successful to be on TV every day, to be famous, to have a paycheck?
172
I am tired of the constant demonizing of people via political labels.
173
174
175
I completely understand why labels would be a little bit hesitant to sign somebody coming off of a television show, in their first glance.
176
Some people want to call me an Appalachian writer, even though I know some people use regional labels to belittle.
177
I know it is common nowadays for artists to start labels but this is a thoroughly constructed vehicle for inspired talent. This is a market that we’ve been living, breathing and eating for our entire lives – one where a huge void currently exists. Favored Nations is a long-term commitment.
178
179
180
Binaries aside, we are the products of our relationships with our identities – cities we have built, bodies we have embraced, kindred souls we’ve cherished, our memories, our dreams, the fears we hide, the pain we hold – identities that cannot be reduced to a collection of labels.
181
182
Both labels are super awesome, with super awesome people who want to get stuff done. The biggest difference is that Sub Pop is already established, but working with Burger seems like we’re part of something. They’re growing, and I’m growing with them. They’re my friends, and we’re doing it together.
183
I never used to get calls from artists or labels, but once you have a top 20 hit, you start getting them.
184
185
Artists have so much more control of their futures – they don’t need to rely so much on major labels or big companies to help them. You have artists like Skrillex that can dominate so much that he gets 5 Grammy nominees, and he’s clearly an underground artist.
186
187
People like to think of you as a certain person, or a certain type of person, and they do love to give you a label. We like luggage labels, and we like people labels.
188
I’ve been DJing since before I could read the labels on the records.
189
190
I don’t disown feminism, but I don’t believe in such labels.
191
I know there are some labels that put out music for art’s sake, but I don’t know which ones.
192
193
194
195
196
When I got my record deal at Atlantic, at the time, ‘indie’ wasn’t a style of music: it was a kind of label. And I think, eventually, the bands that ended up on those labels began to be branded as ‘indie bands,’ and then it became a genre.
197
I want to show that you can be just as amazing as labels and compete as a business and work as a business even though you’re an artist.
198
199

If I were to put labels on demonetization, it would be transparency and traceability.
203
204
I’m tired of labels. This is my label right here: El Cucuy.
205
I would say, people use labels all the time, but I’m kind of a traditional Catholic: Personally, I’m opposed to abortion, and personally, I’m opposed to the death penalty.
206
As far as being on a major label, some labels get it and get what they have to do, and some labels don’t. I don’t think the label I’m on necessarily gets it, but I think over time they’re gonna have to.
207
In this industry, all the heads of labels are men, but every artist has to prove themselves, regardless of their sex. I have always been very vocal about the women sticking together.
208
I don’t care about labels or anything.
209
210
There are some artists who are doing some good music, especially those who are independent, but with labels, I say that I get the feeling of selling soaps.
211
I don’t agree with the way labels are set up. I don’t agree that anyone should sign 360 deals or sign away their publishing or take most of the infrastructure that’s included in a formal deal.
212
213
I like picking up accessories as and when I see something I like – whether its from my travels on the streets of a foreign country or more mainstream labels like Accessorize.
