I am trying to make a dropdown list that contains a placeholder. It doesn't seem to support placeholder="stuff" as other forms do. Is there a different way to obtain a placeholder in my dropdown?

Yes just "selected disabled" in the option.

<select>
    <option value="" selected disabled>Please select</option>
    <option value="">A</option>
    <option value="">B</option>
    <option value="">C</option>
</select>
