Take this down please, it’s for your own good. Whoever wrote this clearly doesn’t understand Billie Eilish and what most teenagers go through in general.

Sorry that we’re not all Jojo fucking siwa

This genre isn’t a trend and it isn’t anything new. Music has always conveyed emotion and sometimes those emotions are more profound. The reality is that it could harm some people but the majority of listeners seek refuge and it helps them to cope with whatever emotions they have

“While hip hop titans such as biggie polished the truth by bragging about money and sex, defining the genres rambunctious bravado” ok

who wrote this?billieeilish doesn’t deserve this at all. no one should blame an artist for their fans + j bc she puts out a “sad song” doesn’t mean she’s romanticizing death it j means she’s using her art to express herself.old people trying to understand teens is funny but sad

this is absolute bullshit, UNLESS U ARE A TEENAGER U HAVE NO RIGHT TO ASSUME HOW WE THINK

Music is supposed to be a representation of life experiences. Making constant happy-go-lucky music would be disingenuous. People would be depressed no matter what music Billie made. Blaming an artist for the problems their fans have is ridiculous.

please take this down. the person that wrote this article is trying to demonize 16 y/o billieeilish for her open battle with depression and is saying she can’t put out music that makes people feel certain emotions. it’s completely ignorant tbh

“Let’s talk about things we don’t understand and bring down people who are doing good for our younger generation”

what the hell is this. y’all are really reaching for drama at this point. yes her fans said some dumb stuff, but in what world does that correlate to her “romanticizing death” damn can’t y’all write about something other than a kid just trying to live her life

can you take the article down because the whole article is just a piece of shit. sorry for my language but I'm very angry about it. Billie's music helps me to cope with my mental issues every day again. And it helps so many other people. I'm sorry but it's just disrespectful.

If this is such an important topic that we need to be “warned” about why is it behind a paywall

🖕

'& if a double decker bus kills the both of us...' Nout new.
