You want her to text you as well, Billie?

They did an interview together and I didn’t get this creepy vibe at all but yikes.

No one asked, bro.

The fact that grown adults are lauding Billie Eilish as a ‘real artist’ and using her to tear down other (primarily female) artists is just... corny and embarrassing.

Even more so when you know some of them probably had more organic come-ups than Billie herself.

i can't imagine still dissing pop music in 2020

They do this with every pop girl who looks atypical to the standard pop girl.

This was Lorde 7 years ago.

True. It’s especially embarrassing because Billie even said in her speech that Ariana inspired her etc.

It veers into creepy the way some hold her up as some saviour, especially when it’s grown men doing so.

they're trying really hard to become relevant again.

it's funny cuz it wasn't just long ago when people said green day was watered down faux punk rock music created for the masses.

yikes. Green Day needs a trap beat

[genbu_no_miko24]

Okay gen x

ETA: The “pure rock” label there is especially hilarious given how very pop punk they are. I remember hearing about how the punk community disowned them because they decided to go commercial.

I mean I like some of their songs but it super laced in pop arrangements than straight rock lol
