So many company's astroturfing is hard to discern, so we must be that much more careful not to get fooled by it.

Political term that means pseudo-equal rights group or artifcial equal rights group. This groups or organizations tend to call them selves a organization that supports freedom and equality; however that is nothing more a backdrop for a biased unequal agenda.
Groups like Accuracy In Academia and Students for Academic Freedom are good exaples of Astroturf Groups. They put on the identity of being a organization that supports equality, but actually are trying to advance a political bias

A subset of Bluegrass's Newgrass movement, astroturf is equivalent to vaporwave bluegrass together. Or any pairs of microgenres within vaporwave and various style of bluegrass. This genre was a result of the Newgrass movement encouraging artists to explore further into ways to use technology mixed with roots music. Astroturf is a play on words because turf is literally just synthetic grass.
I got invited to a house show party and my friend said there'd be an Astroturf band there, and she explained that it was just vaporwave bluegrass.
