Example of organic bands include; The Beatles;
The Beatles came Loved by the Americans when they made an appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show.

Synthetic

The synthetic refers to the X factor mythology and its the record labels who sit in the drivers seat and dictate what the bands do.

A gap in the market is identified, and then it is exploited by the development of music, often the artist is made to fill the gap.

Money is the main objective.
An example of a synthetic is 1 Direction as this is a manufactured music group.
