It's true that not everyone loves Billie Eilish's music. And fans have previously theorized that a specific group actually hates her for their own reasons. But overall, Billie is generally accepted as a pretty impressive artist, especially at her relatively young age.
Breaking into the industry isn't easy, and even though Billie's on an upward rise, fans have noticed that her songs just aren't as popular as they used to be. Is it because Billie Eilish's work isn't as great as it used to be, or is there something else going on? Fans have a theory that explains everything.
Why Is Billie Eilish's Music Less Popular These Days?
Fans say that Billie's music just isn't hitting the way hit did before. With her upcoming album, 'Happier Than Ever,' some say they didn't even know she had more music coming out -- that's how quiet the media and the fandom, in general, is about Eilish.
One fan posed the question of why, and commenters had a few different ideas. Most of them, however, echoed similar sentiments. And it's not that Billie's music isn't any good or that someone else has bumped her out of the spotlight. Well, at least, not exactly.
Fans Theorize That Billie's Music Is Less Popular For A Big Reason
The major reason why fans say that Billie Eilish's music is less popular is that she doesn't stand out anymore. The over-arching theory suggests that people are imitating Billie, and Billie has also changed, so that the sweet spot where her music used to rest is no longer a 'thing.'
In short, fans say, "When Billie Eilish came out there wasn’t a ton of popular music that sounded like hers." But now? It's way different, they say, because not only has Billie taken "all the darkness away" from her tracks, but she "didn't replace it with anything."
Then, at the same time, Eilish's own style caught on; "everyone’s making the same kind of music and singing the same kind of way." So what does that mean for Billie's upcoming album?
Fans Say 'Happier Than Ever' Needs Something Special
Though fans have previously enjoyed Billie's "controversial" videos and supported her angsty sound, they say times have changed -- and Billie is risking being left behind. They argue that she has "a sound/image that doesn't do well with evolution and a changing music market."
So what does her newest upcoming album need to truly succeed? A "bit more excitement," say fans. Some "pepped up vocals" and more "energy" would help, they suggest. But since the album is probably complete at this point, fans will just have to wait and see how it turns out.
