It's obvious her primary function in pop music isn't intended to be the "woke" answer to Ariana, but as the female replacement for X.
Yes, she had a ton of payola and a great PR machine very early on in her career, but she didn't *really* start getting pushed on us via high-profile interviews and her songs showing up unexpectedly on Spotify playlists until shortly after X's death. Her image as well seems to be very, very close to an archetypal "SoundCloud sadboi" thing, which is exactly how X was being marketed before he died (i.e. anime-coloured hair, fake depression, fake deep lyrics about mental health and wanting to die, illusion of being in-tune with the world and aware of social issues).
She even bragged about how he was her "special friend" and how he had a "huge impact" on her life (keep in mind she highlights her friendships with many of X's friends as well): youtube.com/watch?v=vo5JXupZTK8
this. As soon as Lorde canceled her show in Israel last year she's been off the radar and Billie has taken her place. it's so obvious. Speak out against Israel: either get killed or deplatformed.
Lucas Green
I'd agree with you, but considering her enormous presence in pop music right now it's pretty hard to NOT have an opinion on her and/or speculate on all the reasons WHY she'd be pushed as hard as she is.
Luke Morris
not this shit again
Sebastian Sanchez
I can understand saying their music is a bit Lordesque, but as they weren't underage, I don't think they were intentional Lorde replacements.
Jack Morgan
Lorde's appeal had more to do with how cutting-edge her music sounded at the time, her age was just the icing on the cake. Billie OTOH is only applauded due to her age (despite the fact her 21-year old bro is the true artist).
Parker Mitchell
her primary function in pop music is to trick art hoes into getting knocked up by rapers
I’ll ask again: who the fuck keeps claiming this thot is “woke” or politically aware? Because I’m not seeing it.
Asher Cox
her brother posts her on here all the time, he's a known 4channer. he's selling out his sister to (((them))) for shekels and to leech off her success. She's going to end up overdosing or getting suicided and he's going to feel the weight of his actions someday.
congrats you figured out that everything mainstream is manufactured and planned well in advance by hollywood billionaires. They set the trend, the fashion, the ideal... It doesn't matter what "musician" is the face of it. There's no shortage of them.

if you dont call a forced meme forced more people will think it is a real meme
Kevin Hughes
The only way you can take her down is if you give her a penis and get a bunch of girls to say he asked them if he could jack off in front of them. Right now you're only making sure we all eventually check her out. In my blue-pilled tier opinion.
Matthew Moore
if you make as many threads as the shills, you are part of the problem, not solution
Brayden Wright
>>a voice of social consciousness for Gen Z >translation she _____ black guys
Asher Wilson
No evidence.
Matthew Gonzalez
Evidence is right here Look at how she craves a massive cock that can do that
Joseph Cook
Not evidence but okay.
Easton Scott
i don't like how her face looks or how her music sounds or anything about her really
why are people saying that her show last weekend was important or something
She killed her feminist credentials by defending a known woman-beater.
Jordan Morales
ummm check your privilege and respect their culture sweetie
Dylan Johnson
There is literally nothing respectful about whitewashing a man who nearly beat his gf to death, threatened to kill her multiple times, threatened to sexually violate her with a bbq fork, and was overall a shit human being.
Kevin Martin
wowww racist much?
Christopher Brooks
rip jah u were a tru legend
Brody Lee
HOLY SHIT VRO I miss him so much.
Nathaniel Morales
Industry plant :(
Caleb Baker
go join him then
Jack Nelson
God damn m8 calm down Pop music is just heavily marketed background noise
Hunter Gutierrez
Jah wouldn’t want it that way.
Leo Hernandez
Her album got critical acclaim and almost outsold Ariana in its first week. Of course she’s being hyped up.
Gabriel Long
jah loved all of us tho... even u bro
Lincoln Taylor
He was a literal scumfuck. Not a big loss for music.
Nathan Thomas
So she’s a literal clout chaser. Gotcha.

Connor Thomas
But she's such a STRONG FEMALE in the music game today you i n c e l.
Eli Collins
Stick your head back in your desert sand then
Isaiah Long
Not really. Lorde fell off because her sophomore album didn't even come close to living up to the anticipation and she just stopped making music like that. If she put out new shit she'd be welcomed back with open arms.
Joseph Jones
When?

A lot of people are actually.

Bump for based Billie
Thomas Ward
She's boring.
Luke Morris
Her brother is 21?
Connor Phillips
If I remember correctly he's four years older than her.
Levi White
You have to be 18 to post on this board
Nicholas Turner
X and Billie don't have much in common aside from generating a lot of internet buzz early on in their careers. The fake deep/depressed thing is suspicious.
Hunter James
She's just like Lorde
Brandon Cook
That puts him at 26 years old then. Billie is turning 22 this year, there's some iTunes screen cap from 2015 that proves her real age.
Connor Roberts
Seething because Billie Bob is a Lorde clone
Lincoln Long
Wtf he looks old af
Jose Hall
>2015 She didn't blow up until 2016 when Interscope re-released Ocean Eyes. Why would Apple have a screencap of her from 2015?
Industry plants specifically marketed to reach a particular demographic isn't a conspiracy, bro.
Elijah Cruz
>his smile >her mouth
Kevin Cox
>being this old
Christian Bell
You don't have to "blow up" in order to list music on Apple's service. She posted a message herself about "first playing the piano with drumsticks when I was 2 years old, 16 years ago". It was in reference to her creative process for "Ocean Eyes". I really wish I saved that screen cap, some user posted it here a few days ago.
This interview with her mom from 2013 clearly states her age as 11, and her brother's as 15.
Ayden Lopez
*16
Same difference though.
Camden Martinez
Have you seen her brother? He clearly looks like somebody over the age of 25. Most people on this board have commented about Billie "already looking like she's about to hit 30". Rick James lied about being 25 or 26 when his debut album dropped because his record label thought it would make him more appealing to the youth.
Chase Lopez
On what basis would her mother have to lie about her kids' ages before either became famous?
Also, post a pic of her brother so I can see him with my own eyes.
Jonathan Bailey
No thanks, you're probably just some paid intern hired by the label to do damage control.
Adam Gutierrez
Why would her mom lie about her age years before she became famous?
Her mother and father have been in show business for decades. I gave you an example from the late 70s of an artist lying about their age for better exposure. I'm done here.
Cooper Peterson
But why the fuck would they lie about how old their kids are before their kids even entered showbiz? What's their motivation?
Thomas Collins
>before their kids even entered showbiz?
They RAISED THEIR KIDS FROM BIRTH to be in show biz, dipshit.
Billie has even said she was homeschooled so she and her brother could focus on acting, singing, and dancing. She was in the LA children's choir and began professionally dancing at a very young age. THINK ABOUT IT. It's not unusual at all for stage parents to claim their children are younger than they really are so their kids can get parts made for younger children in film/TV. Why would Billie's case be any different?
Hunter Brown
Entirely speculative.
Eli Walker
Just like your existence.
Adam Gutierrez
I want proof Billie is 22.
Brody Cruz
She's 21 years old right now.
Anthony Morgan
I still want proof of her age.
Elijah Nguyen
She has skin imperfections and teeth greying that usually you don't see until late 20's... Seriously... If she's 17, it's a fucking rough 17
Say what you want, i didn't like her album, either. But my god, i'd fuck her until i died from exhaustion.
Robert Adams
Based
Jace Jackson
I'd "listen" to her, if you know what I mean
Kevin Allen
you tried to use reason in 4channel. sorry
Jonathan Cruz
>Replacement This actually makes sense considering they are both extremely overrated and "woke" on a very superficial level
Lucas Mitchell
Not really, she’s off the radar because she’s between album/tour cycles. Also her last album wasn’t as big as her debut anyways. I agree that artists that speak out against Israel often struggle but it didn’t seem to impact her that much.
