As much as I don't care for the whisper-singing and blandness of her, and as cynical as I can be about these things, I don't think she's just another manufactured pop star. Sometimes these people gains genuine following before the mainstream marketing gets their hooks into them. She seemed to have a pretty solid fan base before she blew up, and I don't think her approach is what any of those focus group/market research stooges would have chosen. As far as I can tell it's not for me, but I don't think her popularity is as fake as some others seem so convinced it is.
Sometimes these people do just strike it big with people for whatever reason, like that Old Town Road song. From my understanding that song was made on spec and just happened to catch on. Who the fuck would have guessed that fucking song would have such a wide appeal?

I replied to his post you fucking moron. I really hope you have daughters. They will hate more than you imagined humanly possible if you don't at least begin to try to sort yourself out. He doesn't need daughters. As long as you keep posting on this board, we'll all feel like we have an angsty 15 year old in our lives.

I hope this doesn’t come across as a “you kids get off my lawn” rant but maybe it is. I don’t get Billie Eilish. I don’t understand anything that has to do with her. Why her? What specifically sets her apart from all the other surly 17 year olds in the world? How did she get famous? Why was she pushed so heavily so quickly? What is so great about her music? I’m obviously missing something and I’m obviously not her target demographic. There are other pop acts I can listen to that are tolerable to me. Taylor Swift for example. While she’s older, I get her and don’t mind some of her music. I actually prefer some of her earlier country songs to her later pop. But either way it’s something I can comprehend. But Billie Eilish may as well be from Tatooine for all I know. No. She is not even hot. Taylor Swift is hot, tall, and can write some good music. Unfortunately, she has a unicorn phase at the moment. I hope she will become some sort of Kate Bush in the future. I know I'm in the minority on this, but Taylor Swift does zero for me. Yeah, if the only competition is Eilish, I'd take Swift, but there are millions of women I'd take before Swift. I guess I academically know the appeal (tall, slim, blonde), but she has no appeal to me.

Bad Guy is a damn catchy, danceable song that doesn't really sound like other pop music, at least to me. After a few weeks of hearing, and enjoying, her next song All The Good Girls Go To Hell on local radio I finally connected that it was the same artist as the song Bad Guy. So late in 2019 was when I looked her up and started noticing she was being talked about all over. In neither of the videos for the aforementioned songs is she using sex as a selling point. And it turns she was already interesting a few years back as her song Ocean Eyes is better than anything Taylor Swift has done. Sorry, but this is "meh" at best for me. Every single song on "Reputation" brings me more.

As long as you keep posting on this board, we'll all feel like we have an angsty 15 year old in our lives. On another Off-Topic thread here, in reply to someone else, I posted something about how all of you were being nice. That guy showed up and flipped shit on me with a largish paragraph of lewd garbage. To someone who was an unwarranted pig to me, I will post how I choose. You can keep being in the wrong mind about women and girls, whether it's the one guy calling an 18 year-old girl who intimidates him with her success and the sneers she intentionally gives the cameras "the bitch", or you likening me to a 15 year-old for calling him out on it; I lose nothing from your continued ignorance. Ça m'est égal. And no one cares that you mongos do or do not think Taylor Swift or Billie Eilish "is even hot". I can promise you, not even your wives care. Sadly for them, the most innocent who did not choose you, your daughters will some day care that their fathers are pigs.

Hey everyone, is it really true that Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish, and other female celebrities are not interested in our opinions of their relative hotness? All those love letters I sent to Mika Kunis and Margot Robbie are for naught and end up in their wastebaskets? My world is shattered here. I’m going to need a second to regroup here and reevaluate everything I thought I knew about the world.

I was once told on here to stop making AvP a 'thing' on here (I'm looking at you Klaw) - I think we can all agree over the years the movie has gained a bit of steam in terms of being considered a soon to be cult classic as soon as it reaches 25 years of age.

I guess one other difference we have is that I have no idea who you are and nor do I care, while apparently I’m building hotels on Boardwalk and Park Place in your head. Feel free to hang on to my every word then, makes no difference to me.

Okay, but the New Mexico Lobos men's basketball team are not a legitimate test, like now, in February, 2020.

Reading comprehension issues? Cocaine, it's a helluva drug. Speaking of which, there's a world of difference between a sixty year old who's made a lifetime of her own shite choices and gotten arrested over them, and your Mila Kunises. And the conversation was about said reprobate, it wasn't a give me a minute thing.

You do realize that the score was 35-33 at halftime, right? By definition that is "having trouble with" - - doesn't matter what that team's record is. You can go back to butting your nose into Frank's thread now.
