Has any other artist been so relentlessly shilled for?

Anyone proclaimed as “the future of rock n roll” is 100% an industry plant.

Lorde, or more she set the precedent

Lorde took a lot of criticism early on though. People thought "Royals" was racist, for example. I've never seen Billie take that kind of criticism.

you must not check Yea Forums very often then

JLo is the one whose story is most similar to Billie's.

What was racist about royals

avril levigne

I wasn't on Yea Forums in 2013 but I was on Tumblr.

They claimed she was ridiculing hip hop excess.

>omg the internet can't shill memes it's youth culture!
Memes haven't been youth culture since the youtube / YTMD / Yea Forums / myspace / blog cocktail took off in the midlate 00s. By the time vaporwave came out it was reheating decades old ennui the non videogame fixated world was already well familiar with

Found the Billie shill.

Found the female zoomer.

Ugh, I may be a Clairo connoisseur, but this is Billie's best image so far.

>22 year old male capes for shillie
Why?

Any new "sad and introspective" female artist will inevitably get months of good press.

Billie Elish is the ultimate example of a laboratory created, market tested and totally artificially constructed phenomenon positioned to seem "weird" (now a COOL thing) and "indie." Tragic to see Yea Forums fall for it but it's in no way unexpected considering Yea Forums doesn't care about music in any way except for how it intersects with fashion

Not "laboratory created". More like an experiment in viral marketing. Take a 13-year old girl whose starving artist parents raised her and her bro from birth to become famous actors/musicians and ensure she gets big on the internet via SoundCloud, IG, and Youtube. Push her album release back for months and in that time get her loads of high profile interviews and tons of social media clout to ensure success. Also get her to pander to the hip hop and SJW crowds by jacking the trap sound and faking some kind of political consciousness.

>laboratory created

Exactly what I meant

I only remember this happening once before. Britney Spears. It's strange though, Billie's shilling is very targeted to her market, I still haven't heard any of her songs except some of that Bad Guy one. When it was with Britney, there was literally no escape. She was everywhere a complete carpet bombing. This Billie shilling is nothing compared to that.

It could also be the change in media. With Billie, the bulk of her shilling is online, because that's where her target audience lurks. I'm in my 30s and remember the Britney shit (albeit vaguely since I was like 10 when she blew up) and remember seeing her all over TV, radio, magazines, lunchboxes, etc.

I think it's because Britney was created to appeal to the lowest of low culture - at that time, the most mainstream of audiences, while Billie is meant to appeal to the intersection of "underground" and the mainstream which is more and more adopting aspects of the underground that have gradually become cool within the past decade

It has everything to do with how the internet (especially after the takeoff of "meme rap" in the early 2010s) has made music way more niche. Instead of creating huge universal pop stars with huge pop hits that appeal to everyone, labels create novelty acts whose music primarily appeals to niches. In Billie's case, she's riding two of the biggest waves of the 2010s: Lordealikes and trap.

does the whole 'hey goy, let me tell you again what an awful industry plant Billie Eilish is for the 1,000th time' bit on Yea Forums actually trick user into listening out of curiosity? i've seen billboards of her in LA, saw a copy of her album misplaced in Amoeba Records the other day, know people that say they're a fan of her music and i still refuse to listen to one second of her music. YOU WON'T GET ME

I listen to snippets of her music on Youtube only out of curiosity. I find it incredibly dull.

Kendrick

Wait. Dr. John passed away??? That sucks.

>They claimed she was ridiculing hip hop excess.
So why did Lorde receive criticism for ambiguously putting down black culture, but Billie gets to put on blackface-lite and not receive any?

Because Lorde was saying Fuck Niggers and Billie is saying Fuck Niggas.

Lorde didn’t have a woke rapper bf behind her.

Lorde a weirdo anyway. was dating some asian guy for years

And Fuck Jannies too.

The same fucking threads every single day, please kill yourself promptly fucking shill

I mean she basically is flipping mainstream pop on its fucking head right now so

Not really. She’s not doing anything Lana or Lorde didn’t do better.

Billie hasn't really been shilled the same way as those. The others were just big pop stars. Billie is being shilled as some genius more like lorde was.

Faggot. She (her label and marketers) is simply co opting every marketable trend and combining them to appeal to a specific demographic, she's not "flipping mainstream pop on its fucking head," shilltard

>This loser who probably plays League of Legends all day is dating a cutie like Lorde
How is this, in any way, fair?

At least Lorde could sing. I never thought I'd become neutral on her, but Billie and her whispervox have actually done it.

Never heard of her.

i don't like her music, but she's undeniably a technically good singer. Lorde is talking half the time.

Who gives a fuck? Van Halen was technically a good guitar player, they're music was fucking heinous poision

JLo was shilled as a self-made mogul with a rags-to-riches story, identical to Billie.

Throw that weak bait away.

This bit reversed dude. Have you seen any of Billie’s recent live performances? She comes so close to flubbing every time.

Don't tell me you're a van halen fan, boomer

Not a boomer. But yeah, I am a fan of Van Halen.

But in her interviews she says her style is all her own!!!

Don't be, they suck shit.

Exactly, can't believe Yea Forums is falling for this shit

Well, maybe the Sammy Hagar and Gary Cherone era Van Halen sucks shit. But the classic lineup sure as shit dosen't...

>hey look shitty trap music BUT WAIT ITS A DEPRESSED GIRL
groundbreaking.

Bad Guy is fine until the retarded circus music melody starts playing

every rock/pop star ever

GENTRIFIED MIAMI HIP HOP

lmao

nah, they do. it's cringe wankery for drunk man-children

I bet you haven't even heard one Van Halen song...

I hear that fucking song everywhere. I’m in Canada so that could be why.

why would i be talking about them if i've never listened to them? he's a fine guitarist, but i don't find virtuoso guitarists very interesting if all they're doing is trying to show off. plus david lee roth's voice is just obnoxious cocaine-fueled shrieking. they're like all the lamest parts of rock/metal/pop music rolled into one shitty band

i'm in los angeles and it's always on in bars and shit here too

What's the verdict on her pussy game? Is she good? What's the pussy look like? Shaven? How's the butthole?

I'm Canadian too, and I've never heard that song. Should I consider myself lucky.

What is he chewing? Why is his mouth inflated?

>they're like all the lamest parts of rock/metal/pop music rolled into one shitty band

No... that would be Poison and all them other lame ass hair metal bands that tried to rip Van Halen off...

Chance up until now.

Yes. It’s whisper vocals on clown music.

Eminem got shilled a lot back in the early 2000s despite all the "fag" controversy.

These aren't even from the same artist retard

I'm noticing a pattern here.

Some chick needs to do a parody skit of Billie in blackface.

Struggling actors wouldn't homeschool their children and pay for musical tutors, nor live in such a rich neighbourhood. The story they tell is shit. Her mother admitted that they sold their house as part of the process of gentrification (hurts minoritiy communities) anyway she attempts to dress 'hip hop' and hangs around rappers like a dumbass.

Her career is already at its peak. Billie was always intended as a novelty act, and given that her bro does all her music she doesn't have the smarts to reinvent herself.

Yes you are shilling this pretty hard

>Her mother admitted that they sold their house as part of the process of gentrification (hurts minoritiy communities)
It's worse: her mother FLIPPED a house which was previously occupied by a low-income family. She spoke about it in a 2014 doc about Highland Park in a very cavalier fashion.

Shillie's PR people play up the "my family was poor and we lived in the hood" bullshit in order to give her a backstory very common to rappers. Why? Because her whole image is based on the idea that she's a "better" black artist than actual black artists.

White Billie's burden.

>jennifer lopez
>wigger
wat

She's a white Hispanic who leached off black culture. She was only associated with hip hop (duets with Ja Rule, etc.) in order to market her to an "urban" audience.

it's scary that people aren't noticing this

yes. the difference is Billie has very very little talent, which makes it more noticeable than in the past, where those who were shilled for relentlessly at least had a little musical talent to justify it

A few SJWs on Twitter and Tumblr have but it's barely anything. Remember five years ago when that whole crowd had the guillotine ready for Iggy?

to be fair, when britney first came on the scene in 1998 or 1999 she was a breath of fresh air
true pop music in the decade that gave us the "why tho therious?" grunge and gangsta rap movements
billie's case is that she has entered into a market (soundcloud rap) that has been stale for several years
it's like if britney spears came out in 2005 and missed the big "pop resurgence" of 1998 and 1999

she dumped him???

The first solo single she released in 2018 was literally Lorde + trap.
youtube.com/watch?v=Ah0Ys50CqO8

I thought she sounded identical to Lorde when I first heard this one.

Yeah there was a huge pop gap in the 90s, like between 1992-1997 the only pop which got any consideration was shit like Ace of Base. The big hits were all that overproduced R&B which sounds so bloody dated today.

What would the male equivalent of this be?

Who was the male equivalent of Lorde?

not a clue. im thinking bon iver but im a bit of a brainlet right now

>first solo single in the year
>already covered in customized chains with diamonds
Hmmm.

Triumph of the weird? She’s really not that weird...

t. low test

Compared to Ariana and Taylor she's "weird", just like how Avril was "weird" compared to Christina and Britney.

Omg I hate that part...it makes me cringe

Lady Gaga Eminem Britney

Her fans are too young to even understand nor care about this...

Right so Ariana is for the popular kids and Billie is for the outcasts

You'd be surprised how easily Billie wins over the 20-something hipster demographic.

I heard her album play inside a vintage store, for instance.

You guys act like Billie can't have any "legitimate" fans. I assure you I am not in any way associated with a PR team associated with Billie nor do I receive any compensation for posting positive posts in Billie threads. I have started a few Billie threads. I legitimately like her as an artist.

Billie has plenty of "legit" fans, but they certainly aren't old enough to post here. You have to be 18 even for blue boards.

I think it's more that Billie herself isn't what's being hated on, but the status quo (nepotism + deceptive marketing + cultural appropriation) which allowed for someone like her to become as big as she is.

Not a bad song honestly. Surprised this wasn't a Top 10 hit in the US.

>Because her whole image is based on the idea that she's a "better" black artist than actual black artists.

Sounds crazy enough to be true ngl.

Iggy Azalea only blew up because she was considered the white replacement for Nicki.

He's used to talking to e-girls about music and since those art hoes like Billie he feels like he has to defend them for the hope of getting those sweet, sweet feet pics. Or he was raised by a single mom

I'm 58. I think that qualifies as old enough.

actually funny

58 is Gen X, buddy.

Billie is this year's new bitch.

What is funny is that even though she became famous she also is already damaged good and her parents probably regret that. Imagine doing everything so you child can become successful and then see her have multiple black boyfriends as a "thank you". They probably are depressed knowing their girl will have her lineage end by some mutt baby that looks like neither the mother or the father.

Gen X - Boomer - It depends where you split.
I bought her CD and my wife (11 years my senior) likes her as well.

What am i missing?

Whisper vocals with no range over generic trap beats which are supposed to be "artsy".

Billie is worth something too ( About 6 million net worth)

I mean, she isn't wrong about the ghostwriting. It's generally the same with industry plants: no one gives a shit if Ariana was an industry plant or not, because everyone in pop music is known to be plastic and fake. However, Billie and Clairo both have images which are supposed to be DIY and are associated with subcultures which are somewhat counter-cultural. The fact both of them have industry ties and industry backing whilst presenting themselves as "organic" is what's pissing people off.

All I'm hearing is: youtube.com/watch?v=sOks2HArHf0
But worse.

Has she been losing weight? :o

Most likely.

Daily reminder her PR team monitors ALL Shillie threads in order to nip any and all criticisms/exposés of her in the bud.

her parents are actors of course they're going to teach her how to fake a backstory and sound believable.

Billie is for girls who think they're unique because they shop at Zumiez instead of the Gap.

Blank Banshee > Farside > Memejams > Shit > Piss > Trannyjams

Ariana Grande, right before her

All these shills are put in place for a reason and they are all shilled, they all do the hand signs, doesn't matter whether it's Britney or Shillie or Eminem or 2Pac or whatever else

Also this image is clearly the first step to sexualizing this puppet

They flip houses because they are NOT REAL PEOPLE. Ever been to Gary in Indiana? No one there knew 'the Jackson family'. 2Pac the Ballerina wasn't 'poor' (or real) either

Shopping at gap is more unique than shopping at zumiez. The most unique is not shopping at all and wearing the same clothes for over five years

The most unique is not being a mouth breathing retard and shopping wherever you want without worrying about labels.

I started learning about her a few weeks back because of how Yea Forums was shilling her everywhere. She's such the perfect product of the current industry, it's like a character perfected for commercial use, that's kind of incredible to observe from someone who hates pop culture.
