This artist is an undercover punk #music #popculture #popunk #pop

Billie Eilish is actually an undercover punk. Let me explain. We think about punks as crazy people in leather jackets that you avoid on the streets. But that’s on the outside. You see, punk is all about challenging the norms. And who does it all the time? Yup, Billie. She shows up to red carpets in oversized clothes and calls out the industry for sexualizing young women. Punk isn’t about studs and spikes, it’s about fighting. She literally made a song mocking fame (“Therefore I Am”), avoids influencers, and stays true to herself. That’s punk behavior. And she’s not the only one, Olivia Rodrigo, Halsey. They’re punk too. This is why (and the video loops)

Billie Eilish Pirate Baird O'Connell (/ˈaɪlɪʃ/ EYE-lish; born December 18, 2001) is an American singer-songwriter and musician. She first gained public attention in 2015 with her debut single "Ocean Eyes", written and produced by her brother Finneas O'Connell, with whom she collaborates on music and live shows. In 2017, she released her debut extended play (EP), Don't Smile at Me. Commercially successful, it reached the top 15 of record charts in numerous countries, including the US, UK, Canada, and Australia.

Eilish's debut studio album, When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? (2019), debuted atop the US Billboard 200 and UK Albums Chart and was one of the year's best-selling albums. Its single "Bad Guy" became the first by an artist born in the 21st century to top the US Billboard Hot 100 and be certified Diamond by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). The next year, Eilish performed the theme song "No Time to Die" for the James Bond film No Time to Die, which topped the UK Singles Chart and won the Academy Award for Best Original Song in 2022. Her subsequent singles "Everything I Wanted", "My Future", "Therefore I Am" "Happier Than Ever", and "Your Power", each peaked within the top ten in the US and UK.

Eilish's second studio album, Happier Than Ever (2021), topped the charts in 25 countries. She wrote and performed "What Was I Made For?" for the fantasy film Barbie (2023), which became her second number-one single in the UK and earned her a second Academy Award. Her third album, Hit Me Hard and Soft (2024), was met with critical acclaim and spawned the US top-five singles "Lunch" and "Birds of a Feather", with the latter becoming her first number-one on the Billboard Global 200.
