DookieLukie Posted January 30, 2020 Posted January 30, 2020 2004-2005 Billie was peak attractive/iconic Billie. So much presence.

Billie Joes Eyelids Posted January 30, 2020 Posted January 30, 2020 8 hours ago, Larry Livermore said: Some people are drawn to tragedy, and some people love to see their favorite artists suffer (same way that some extreme Christians practically go into orgasms at the thought of Jesus being tortured and crucified). But plenty of great artists also have normal, boring, or happy lives, and for them cranking out classic songs, plays, sculptures paintings, etc., is just another day at the office. Some people hate their jobs, some people put up with them, and some people love them, and in that sense, artists aren't that different from the rest of us. So what are we to think of Billie very often referring to his mental health...neuroses, depression, feeling lost, breakdown during the Trilogy, etc. That points to a tortured artist, yes? Don’t get me wrong, admire him very much for being honest about these issues and not trying to pretend he’s completely in control. And yes I’m sure there are many artists who have optimum mental stability. Just like other people, it definitely varies.

And yes I’m sure there are many artists who have optimum mental stability. Just like other people, it definitely varies. I think that points to a normal person having ups and downs. I don’t have insights about his personal life, because in the end everything we see is entertainment, including the interviews where he talks about personal stuff. But I think as any person he aims to have more ups than downs, and I think Larry has a point when he says that any person does his best during the ups, not the downs. I’m definitely shit at my job when I’m on the verge of depression. Probably also Billie writes his best songs after the bad days, not during them. Sure, the down moments can be a source of inspiration for him (and maybe writing about them is also a form of self relief, dunno), as probably many other things in his life (see love, politics and activism), but I don’t think that having bad days is why he’s good at writing songs, or that without them he would be a bad lyricist. It’s the other way around to me, since he is an amazing song writer, he manage to express things that we can relate to, including the bad ones, because in the end they are part of everyone’s life.
DookieLukie Posted January 30, 2020 Posted January 30, 2020 I think Billie incorporates mental health or struggles in his music much more accurately and genuinely than other artists who make their bread off of their mental health issues *cough* Halsey *cough* Billie Eillish *cough* Billie makes it feel human and okay, but he doesn't glorify it or make it into some quirky personality trait.

I still don’t understand where you see Billie Eilish glorifying her struggles, but whatever.

Because she has an egosyntonic view of her symptoms. Her whole external style is based off of depression. And of course her lyrics which, again, make depression into a quirky personality trait that makes her special and unique.

BilIie Joe Armstrong Posted January 30, 2020 Posted January 30, 2020 GD's entire image in the 90's was heehee meth's so fun, so I don't know, that's not really a good message innit

Oh god here you go again. SHE IS AN ARTIST. Artists communicate their struggles how ever they feel is best. Idk how her talking about depression and Tourette’s and being open makes her egotistical at all.

So because I don't like her music and how she fakes depression to sell albums, that makes me a person who stigmatizes mental health? No, I'm defending people with real issues from industry plants like her.

Thats a pretty low thing to say about someone, especially since she revealed she almost committed suicide last year. Nobody cares that you don’t like her music, we care that you are making statements that have nothing to do with the conversation and are pretty insensitive to someone with depression.

It could be nonsense or wrong but I’m like that. So not just music for me, other things are also important in a band or musician.

Her story sells albums. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize that every move artists make is calculated.
