Like, I'm fairly out of the loop nowadays to be honest...
But all i hear or see anyone talking about is how she's a "prodigy" and "a genius".. To me she just looks like a moody teenager who's trying too hard to be edgy...
Also, has anyone else noticed this trend in the last couple of years where record companies (or really the whole music industry in general) keeps pushing out artists that are younger and younger and younger?
I think it's because the young ones are the only ones stupid enough to sign their lives away, which in turn just leads to the record companies squeezing every penny they can out of them until they lose their value and get tossed aside like 95% of the other young artists of the past 15 years.
remember Lorde? remember that hot chick that sang criminal?
these kinds of sexy teen slut boppers come every few years and go away

based thread, I don't get it either. I understand why fags are posting her nonstop here on Yea Forums, that's just because they are retarded shills who will post anything people will click on because they are dumb niggers. But why Billy Irish is popular right now in popular culture is a mystery. Her music is nothing special, and her music videos are overly artsy, weird for the sake of being weird pieces of clickbait bullshit.
Not up on current music, but is this the one who’s a trap? If so, that’s your answer. A bigger agenda is pushing this.
If not, fuck if I know. Every decade has shittier music than the decade before it. At this rate, music in the 2020’s is gonna be the equivalent of an Andy Sixx thread.
John Bailey
good voice, good lyrics, good beats, out of the norm(pop star wise). I get it. Also she seems very personable in her interviews.
Dunno. I like her.
William Adams
Wowo Thats Grimes the worlds best whisper singer of songs. She whispers the finest songs to the world softly.
Blake Young
like there is artistic merit to some weird shit out there in the world (like, some performance art and surrealism), but they shit she does in her videos really is just for the sake of being weird...
Like, even in interviews she doesn't seem all that sharp... so I have big doubts about the "genius" factor. (maybe 14 year olds are just so stupid nowadays, that the bar for intelligence has been lowered so kids with an I.Q. of 90 are now considered a 'genius')
I guess there's also the factor of younger people liking 'musicians', who's live performances consist of a dude with a macbook and a couple midi controllers playing pre-recorded music while the 'artist' runs around on stage for an hour singing over a backing track..... What cuts it a 'music' nowadays is baffling to me... when did the bar sink so low?
Jonathan Myers
Grimes annoys me too (and she's in her 30's for fuck sake)
Brayden Baker
this. Her music also sounds really over produced and heavily doctored to me. Especially that song ocean eyes, I imagine just the raw vocal track isolated is about as good as just about anybody lazily singing a tune in the shower. And it's just a pretty bush league few lines of lyrics repeated 8 or 9 times...
Jace Evans
bumping because I know there's some 15 year olds on here that have opinions on this but are
Anthony Jackson
the way she dresses and her stupid dyed hair also pisses me off... typical los angeles "look at me" bullshit
her family are in the acting and music industry so she already had tons of money for music and most likely at least a bit industry plant.
Ryan Allen
My gf showed me a song by this bitch, reminded me of Daria talking with music in the background.
Jonathan Russell
You are just questioning this because she's young. Tons of artists with nothing remarkable were as popular as she is today. Britney, Kesha, Timberlake, Chris Brown, Nelly, Nickelback, Fallout boys, Shakira, etc.

Hi user, I think you might want to check out this server.
shut the fuck up. she's nice. she's creative and artistic. pretty fucking good for a 16 year old, if you ask me. her take on pop music isn't orthodox at all, in fact it's quite the opposite, she's original.
also, you gotta factor the looks. artistry inevitabily accounts for looks, specially in our society. if you have a neckbeard who can play the piano like a beast, he aint making the charts cus an asian nigga already fucks him in the ass and he looks trashy.
her attitude. reminds me of when i was young. rebellious and wild. speaks her mind, tells everybody to fuck themselves whenever she pleases.
somebody said she had "shallow takes" on teenage depression. lol. she IS a teenager. she is literally speaking FROM THE SOURCE of the matter. if that's not enough ,well, you kinda have down syndrom
also her looks. cutting edge fashion. not something you'd expect from "girly" pop starts like ariana grande who is... a little bit petty but ok. people love billie. i love her.
i would judge badly mainstream pop singer. she surprised me
She is a product from the industry. They put her out there and if she does well and sells out they restock, otherwise they deice whether or not its worth it to keep producing this product. She's nothing special, just some young gay looking chick. Unfortunately she'll probably do well since so many "men" on the left are desperate soyboys who will even find this manly looking bitch attractive.
Jackson Edwards
She kinda quirky doe
Andrew Jenkins
I bet you donate to belle delphine on patreon
Ryder Torres
Almost all modern music sucks ass so it's easy for any talentless hack to stand out.
its clear she has about as much potential as mozart, alsoi shes a woman so that's pretty cool she's basically a female mozart, can you imagine how much better mozart would have been if he was a woman?
Jayden James
she fucks elon tho
Jaxon Russell
if you compare classical music with popular music i already know you live with your mom and ask her money to go out with your pothead friends lmao
I've been a bad bad girl user. Sorry you were grounded, but mom and dad are gone for the evening and I was thinking........ perhaps I could be your gf tonight?
I work in the film industry (bitch jobs, but good jobs) and the thing I've noticed is that like every young person in a significant position has a parent who already works in the industry in some higher positions (Camera Operators, Art Directors, Producers, Etc)
so, in other words, most of the music/film "stars" you see actually never busted a sweat in their life and were born into their success and fame...
Seriously though, look at a HUGE number of big name Hollywood actors (Gwenyth Paltrow, Drew Barrymore, Leonardo DiCaprio) and notice that all their parents worked in the industry.... The same applies to musicians too.
Their "Fame and fortune" is total fucking bullshit. Inherited Wealth and fame.
as it is with the world, whats the news. people are rich. deal with it
Jacob Perez
it's all in the marketing.
and the fact that like 3/4 of people are either average or below average when it comes to the intelligence factor, those folks are the consumers they aim for. The ones that don't think before they buy shit and buy into the hype that the media surrounds these 'artists' with...
i like her tho the music is chill and different but maybe a bit overhyped indeed
Noah Garcia
nah user, Leo only got where he was because his parents....
His acting is very hit and miss and he literally just plays himself (a watered down douche) in every movie, but either puts on a shitty accent (Gangs of New York he couldn't hold an accent for the duration of a single scene) or has his appearance changed....
i work within the industry. Her family has some pretty big connections and threw a lot of money at it so a development team created her concept and there were deals made to cut in multiple entertainment groups to push resources her way. over 24 other girls who had development deals were dropped to push the resources to her. its not uncommon, everyday thing. but dont get me wrong her look was a big part of it. if she was ugly, wouldnt have happened. this happens constantly . when i was an a&r guy looking for acts for my producers we looked at hot girls with maybe a little talent that we could just market, and if they had money to back them to start from family. huuuuuuuuuuuge plus. just how the business is.
Noah Mitchell
whatever happened to the lorde of the rings
Carter Gray
She's not that much different than any other artists like the xx but she is only unique for zoomers
Mason Mitchell
follow up. there are thousands if not hundreds of thousands of people with may more talent and badass music than most that gets marketed. but alot of those people dont have the resources to be able to sit at home and make music and market all day and night on their dime. thats why im a big fan of the indie industry. i have a hand in that too with broketing merchandise deals for the concerts, but the money, the biiiig money is still with the big labels supporting giant tours.
Ethan Peterson
because you touch yourself at night you astroturfing nigger
Blake Bell
i can ask my buddy joey for a list of the girls that were dropped to push her stuff. some of their stuff was seriously badass, i think 9 or 10 of them even completely produced their own stuff and were just talented af. unfortunately with the deals they signed they are all shelved right now. anything they made before will probably never see the light of day and will have to release thru tunecore or something but even then the labels will get a cut due to their BMI agreements.
Noah Davis
She isn't, shill.
Brody Turner
see the above posts
Jeremiah Gray
because she's mentally disabled (read 'retarded') like the rest of us on here
and her parents are in the business, so probably shilled that shitt down everyone's throat until she became 'mainstream'
and she's underage and sexually suggestive.... but pedophilia is wrong... unless they profit off of it
Ian Nelson
>Why is she such a big deal Yea Forums? she isn't
Juan Green
makes hella sense why her and "bhad babi" or whatever the fuck are drinking from eachothers teets
Joseph Price
I see no appeal but really, why bother wondering about it? I haven't listened to the radio since I was on a bus in highschool, can't name a single top 40 hit for the past 5 or so years and what retarded trends come and go in the music industry have zero effect on me. I will continue to enjoy and discover new and old music that I enjoy regardless.

>not liking popular things doesn't make you interesting. This thread is full of people that disagree with that and they're all jerking each other off
