Who the fuck is Billie Eilish?

And why is it hot to romanticize your mental illness in songs all of a sudden?

My FB exploded with people relating to her songs, just about as to any other sad and damaged vibe people mass-relate to these days.

It’s like in today’s world, every 20-40 something person thinks that it’s hot to be sad and suicidal, by finding excuses for not doing emotional self-work. And avoiding lightheartedness and fun in life.

Industry plant.

Agree

Its something strange going on

I finally watched 30 seconds of her video yesterday

.....

I keep telling YouTube I'm not interested but she still pops up

Like, there’s a difference between being mentally ill and working on it/getting help, and being mentally ill and putting your condition on a pedestal in search of attention.

Very beautiful voice but sadly also sold her soul to the industry, another mk puppet

She's a Singer. Quite good at it too. She works in collaboration with her brother - both at composing the lyrics and singing - tho, she covers the vocals for most part. Some of the lyrics may be shit - but she can definitely sing. Live...







Other than that - she's barely 17, discovered when she was 13 while a year latter she started getting popular as a singer...

Mainly teenagers - since she's a teenager herself (which makes her relatable to that type of audience), while latter on - she gained popularity among older audiences as well (since again, her voice and talent as a singer stood out). So... i don't get the high expectations (while taking her age into consideration).

She *has* no voice though. She just sings very low and with rasp. If you want an example of great signing/voice of more recent artist, give K.Flay and Sevdaliza a listen.

Oh, and... the real world is actually quite full of depressive artistic content - be it songs...

...or otherwise. For thousands of years even. It's nothing new - or specific to current generations. 🙄

I love your sentiment in this. I'm kinda in the middle on this (not just her, but the mentality in general) I like that she's another foot soldier in making mental illness less taboo. But... that shouldn't be the end goal. No. Single. Person. Should aspire to be depressed. Especially nowadays when people whine about 1st world problems and really dont have too much to be depressed about.

I mean, I’m a LGBTQ non-monogamous immigrant with family PTSD as well. Lost my father last year unexpectedly. One of my bfs is on lithium and other meds to function properly.

But we just live our lives to best potential that we can, and enjoy the ride. It’s hard, but we don’t shitpost on social media to no end, don’t glorify it, don’t seek attention, and don’t write songs about it.

We’ve all got problems, nobody’s special.

To further my point:

To further my point:

How soon do you think before she will go nude in a video?

And what was that post that her success makes other teens feeling bad for themselves?...👀

the "damaged vibe" has always been very present in music and other forms of art, mental illness is just recognized more now 🤷

Yeah! Most famous are those who are more nuttier!

went camping memorial day weekend....some parents w/pre-teen girls that like her were talking about how her lyrics/vids have gotten so dark and scary, some saying demonic/satanic, etc. (e.g. "bury a friend" vid)....tried to be the voice of reason and quell some of the paranoia, get em to look more on the bright side - like that its the perfect opportunity to teach the little ones about illuminati, mk ultra, and the whole reptilian agenda....

No fake moon landing? That's incomplete.

talk was brief....we decided to distract them from all the nonsense with some chemtrail spotting, a gay frog hunt, and a doomsday prep kit workshop in case they get left behind in the rapture....

Loads of songs about mental illness and suicide: Basket Case - Green Day (albeit tongue in cheek), Megadeth - sweating bullets, St Anger - Metallica, Therapy? - Die Laughing (also gallows humour), Frightened Rabbit - Floating on the Forth (gallows humour), Early 00s Eminem. The difference is the ones I've mentioned are actually good.

And also not glorified, really.

I don’t care care for her music either. I think she’s a sag actually

I just don’t get it
