Could someone please explain to me why she's being upheld as "the voice of a generation"?
She doesn't sing about social issues or anything all that introspective or profound. And judging from the personality she displays in interviews, she certainly doesn't seem all that "wise beyond her years".

Her brother writes the songs and they are very relatable for teenagers
You guys think she says the word "nigga" in private?
instagram comments are proof of the npc meme
because she pretends to be sad despite being more well off than most of the world just like everybody else pretends to be sad despite being more well off than most of the world
Literally who
Not going to lie, when I watch her interviews I keep waiting for her to slip out an n-bomb or two.
>Could someone please explain to me why she's being upheld as "the voice of a generation"?
Interscope marketing bots. :^)
On the contrary, I can't stand her and am confused by her image and why everyone is so eager to shill her.
>Billie wears baggy clothes because she is thicc underneath
What did they mean by this?
>those deep profound words aren't even hers
Fucking pottery.
I wanna fuck her so bad
she 17
I genuinely thought we reached the peak of garunteed replies with 6ix9ine but I was so wrong
Legal in several jurisdictions
Legal in every Canadian province.
why do you even have that knowledge
I live in Canada.
I live in a jurisdiction where the age of consent is 17.
God forbid I should know what laws apply to me. Let's clutch pearls together
>She doesn't sing about social issues or anything all that introspective or profound. And judging from the personality she displays in interviews, she certainly doesn't seem all that "wise beyond her years".
That's exactly why she's being upheld the voice of her generation, user.
She is the ltcorbis of pop music
Vapidness and shallowness with pretentiousness, yes.
I just saw her interview, what’s up with her putting on this fake Ebonic accent from time to time.
She's trying to gain acceptance among the hip hop community.
>music isn't even rap
Her entire tour she isn't even booked for venues above 2000 seats.
It did sell out within 48 hours though.
Stop it, I can only get so hard.
I prefer Ariana Grande, the one true queen of Yea Forums
this. Pop music is social engineering. Nothing more.
Eh, I wouldn't call it that. Pretty sure they're just after money.
Yeah it's not hard to have companies buy up tickets.
shes just been popularized by labels
Ocean Eyes was a big hit but without labels and her social media i dont think she would be where she is now
This. Her tour didn't "sell out" and I'm sure there will be plenty of tickets available the week of her shows.
I'm in my 30s and clearly remember when music critics were calling Britney and Christina the "voices of a generation" back in the late 90s. Nothing new.
She's also a huge clout chaser.

X made no mention of her when he was alive. Why does she claim the two were such good friends?
Britney came up in sort of similar circumstances (ie. parents who groomed her from stardom from childhood) although in her case her parents were trailer trash with ambitions instead of connected entertainment industry people.
Oh yeah. Anyone who was on Mickey Mouse Club became an industry plant.
I'll grant you that at least Britney's trashy image fit her and was a natural extension of her upbringing while BE's weird Soundcloud rapper chasing seems completely illogical for a sheltered rich white girl.
She's friends with several SoundCloud rappers though.
Willy Eyelashes
She's playing stadiums.
Fuck this pathetic plant whore.
scumbag chad made cooler looking pants
>She doesn't sing about social issues
She literally does.
xanny is about ten drug use.
when the party's over, when the party's over and listen before i go are about depression.
the way she says xanny makes me vomit
Stop wasting my time you cunt and check out the venues she's playing in. She's barely doing 10k for the whole tour, and that's mostly industry buys.
What do you mean?
And how do you know the label is buying her tickets?
Fashion Crust
ticketmaster.com
Union transfer = 1200 capacity
Wiltern = 1850 capacity
Brooklyn Steel = 1800 capacity
And so forth.
Xanny is Lana Del Rey imitation.
The other three are just boring as hell. If I ever saw her perform live I'd probably fall asleep.
Since apparently she can't project her voice or sing and just has to mumble through every song, I don't see how she could sing for crap in a live venue.
But how do you know her label is scalping the tickets? She's the no.1 artist in the world right now.
#1 artists in the world don't play 1200 capacity venues
How many venues is she playing per city?
Are you implying that the generation she sings for (zoomers) aren't shallow, apolitical, obsessed with clout/instagram, and leech off of black popular culture from the mid 2000s?
>She doesn't sing about social issues or anything all that introspective or profound.
There's your answer
What the fuck is a zoomer?
Jesus Christ, have you only been on Yea Forums a week?
is that way, or be a boomer
Moda Center in Portland has a capacity of almost 20,000.
Meme word for Gen Z. it's a term inspired by the "boomer" generation who are often portrayed as polar opposites of their zoomer counterparts.
Corporate buys can deal with that easily. Now it's possible in some of those tiny NYC venues you might get enough New York hipsters or whatever to fill the tickets.
What makes you assume the label is scalping the tickets?
A Reddit meme. Never mind.
billie eilish be like *industry plant noises* lol
I didn't say the label, I said corporate sponsors kind of like how they buy unsold NFL tickets so a team doesn't get blacked out on local TV if they fail to sell out a game.
She's not even a plant though. It's a huge stretch to call her one.
Painful.
Looks like the Interscope spambots have already flooded the comment section.
She seems like a try hard "im depressed" kind of girl who 14 years old will claim that she "gets it."
She is like Lorde except with less authenticy.
>tfw she's the voice of my generation
>tfw never even heard of her until she started popping up on mu
Is this just because I don't follow e-celebs or is it because I was born in the second half of the 90s and I'm too old for this type of music?
Hip hop is the most popular genre right now, it’s like years ago when pop singers either went dubstep or whitewashed indie
Britney Spears was on the Mickey Mouse club when she was young
>when the party's over, when the party's over
This is a breakup song and according to genius even Billie doesn’t think it’s a sad song
Most of this board is generation Z, 1997-onwards.
the niggerification of popular culture has to end at some point...right...?
Most of this thread is industry shills
because her generation is retarded
Kind of like how Lorde's Royals was about worship of fame and materialism that you couldn't tell whether or not it was a glorification or a condemnation of
It's all vapid garbage
>He doesn't have his AoCs memorized
what the fuck is that image quality
All of this board is generation Z. 1995-onwards, except for 40 year old boomer tourists
>the voice of a generation"?
she's a voice for women that fuck black men
Real shit
Woke
>She doesn't sing about social issues or anything all that introspective or profound
What the fuck, that's a plus as far as I'm concerned. The last thing I wanna hear is some teen/20-something popstar's opinions on that shit.
She says nigger with hard -er in private
? Lorde's Royals was clearly rejecting the pursuit of fame and materialism, most importantly obscene wealth
