Billie Eilish: Happier Than Ever?

New album, new look, and old videos of Billie Eilish using an anti-Asian racial slur fueled the excitement in the Billie-sphere this month. Arguably the most famous 19-year-old on the planet, Billie Eilish is a singer-songwriter-phenomenon who perfectly encapsulates Gen-Z angst. She’s edgy and caring and nihilistic and full of hope, all at once. She seemingly came out of nowhere and now has multiple music-industry awards, tens of millions of followers, and set new records across the internet. Recently old videos of 13-year-old Billie appeared, showing her singing a song containing a slur against Asians, using a “blaccent,” and speaking in a gibberish-language that sounds a lot like a mock-Asian language. Many of her fans were outraged and Billie was quick to act, offering heartfelt apologies directly to her followers.
But as we all know, the internet is judge and jury and holds a grudge.
