Can somebody please explain to me what the appeal of Billie Eilish is?
To me she just seems to be nothing more than "The Eels" meets Patti Smith, but "I'm not like the other girls".
Is it an American thing?

If you're a grown adult, the appeal is that it's pop music that at least tries to innovate a little. If you're a teenage girl the appeal is "I'm not like the other girls"
who keeps doing this thread bruh
She has a vagina
Oh, I'm just a tourist from /tg/. This is just a coincidence. Some girl who was domming me recommended this to me.
But how does it try to innovate? It's just sadboi Jason Mraz?
it's just payola and marketing machine garbage
Well, as far as pop songs go the lyrics actually aren't bad (mostly thanks to her brother who is actually an accomplished songwriter), and they do a lot of interesting things playing around with the sounds themselves. For example there's an interview where Billie says she recorded her teeth being drilled at the dentist and they mixed it into "bury a friend" in a pretty cool way. Also the way they use the bass to sort of ripple her voice (idk how to describe it just listen to "bad guy" or "xanny"). It's nothing revolutionary but I still think it's cool.
>recorded her teeth getting drilled
OK, that's pretty cool.
she's an industry plant, that doesn't mean she's bad
she's all that any female pop artist of the last 8-9 years wanted to be
>she's all that any female pop artist of the last 8-9 years wanted to be
That's kind of sad.
TL;DR - she's a privileged white girl who was signed after a song she sang which her brother wrote went viral due to her parents' industry connections; she LARPs like she's from the hood and misappropriates the music and fashion styles of underground and socially conscious hip hop and relies on much more talented black artists like X and Denzel Curry for credibility despite being vapid and just plain dumb.
Sounds like gimmicks to be quite honest. A lot of those vocal effects and blasted bass in Xanny and Listen Before I Go serve no purpose to enhance the songs aside from making them sound more like dollar store SGP beats.
Well I guess that's where personal opinion comes in. I can't convince you to like it, you either do or you don't.
She's a hollowed-out zoomer coalburner.
...
So she's an edgy Justin Bieber?
why? i mean somebody had to do it
wow amazingly who cares? does every pop star on the planet need to come from liverpool's suburbs?
i dont know why they play her songs on 91x they dont play music like hers
It's nice to have people who make music that comes from the heart, and actually know what they are doing.
imagine getting dommed by a girl lmao
>implying she doesn't know what she's doing
you can speak from the heart and still have someone that helps you write the lyrics, especially if that person is your brother, she also co produces a lot of her tracks
I ain't following for your lies, Satan.
Unless her brother can read her mind, a collab ain't an authentic representation of one person's feelings.
>The Eels" meets Patti Smith
lolwut?
Well her whole appeal is that she’s “DIY” so the fact shes has pretty big advantages should lead to skepticism about her success.
dude no pop song is the authentic representation of one person's feelings she even said in an interview that bad guy is all about people (and that includes her) faking being the "bad guy" in the relationship
>“Remember being younger and wanting to be the one that dies in the game? I always wanted to be the bad guy in every game I played. They were the coolest. Obviously, I’m not a bad guy in real life — so let me put on this mask. When you’re little, songwriting is the same thing as playing a game. You can be whatever you want.”
what are you talking about? lol her whole appeal is her music,her dorky personality and her creepy lyrics
It's music for those teenage girls who think they could kill their boyfriend when in fact they're too scared to ask for the bill at a restaurant.
People tried to wrap their brain around the backstreet boys in the 90s
Just dumb pop flavor of the week
>co produces
No she doesn’t.
mass marketed cuntcore
she co produced bad guy check it out
The Backstreet Boys never tried to be something beyond fun music.
Who is Billie eilish?
>imagine getting a girl lmao
ftfy
Why do you post this every single Billie Eilish thread? I literally only enter Billie Eilish threads to see if you have posted that image and you have every singe fucking time, with out fail.
Why do you go into every thread? Are you seriously autistic? Do you secretly lust after the mysterious billieexposed-user?
What is YOUR problem m8??
Nice Reddit meme friendo
Not relatable at all eh?
>Are you seriously autistic?
Unironically yes, but you are dodging the question.
I’m not the mysterious billieexposed-user, that shit was an hour ago
You will need to keep waiting
Fair enough. The difference is that I'm completely aware of my autistic behaviour. "Mysterious billieexposed-user" seem to honestly believe he's something important that people care about.
Maybe he’s on a mission, maybe he’s just as autistic as the rest of us
Who knows
I just found it amusing that you go into every thread looking to make sure he went into every thread ...
>I just found it amusing that you go into every thread looking to make sure he went into every thread
It is pretty funny to be honest. Godspeed user.
Billie Ellish is certainly no Clairo, that's for sure.
Doubtful.
She’s proof stage parenting and planting work to create a modern pop sensation, shit that’s been known for decades but which zoomers seem oblivious to.
