Singer Billie Eilish has revealed shocking information that she was addicted to watching “porn” since she was 11 years old. This once “destroyed the way her brain worked”.

Billie Eilish is a young idol singer, she has not hesitated to share about psychological problems and obsessions with her fans. This creates great sympathy between Billie Eilish and her fans. But the most shocking thing is Eilish’s recent sharing when she admitted that she was addicted to “porn” since she was 11 years old.

Billie Eilish says watching porn non-stop since her teens changed the way her brain works, and Eilish even says the toxic habit “destroyed her brain.”

Eilish said she started watching porn at the age of 11 because she didn’t know how to say no to harmful things. This bad habit caused her a lot of difficulties and obstacles when she entered adulthood and started dating.

Billie Eilish turns 20 this Saturday. “I believe that porn is bad, bad stuff,” Eilish told a US radio show earlier this week. “But I’ve watched a lot of porn, to be honest. I started watching it when I was 11.”

At first, Eilish thought it was something that made her look “cool”, but as she learned more, she reconsidered this: “I think my bad habits from the past destroyed my brain, making me feel so depressed that it’s hard to describe, I watched too much “porn”.

I was even haunted by nightmares because some of the content I watched was so violent and horrible.”

Eilish did not go to school like her friends but was home-schooled. This was considered by her family and herself to be suitable for her inclination. Eilish showed her musical talent early on and spent a lot of time composing and recording. Indeed, she achieved impressive achievements very early.

She has won 7 Grammy Awards and is considered an idol of American youth today. Fans also often call Eilish “the queen of depression” because her songs often have dark colors in the lyrics.

In the song “Male Fantasy” from Eilish’s second album, “Happier Than Ever,” she sang about being home alone after a broken relationship and “comforting” herself by watching “porn.”

Eilish said she now feels angry at herself for thinking it was okay to watch “porn”: “When I was growing up, I didn’t know how to say no to toxic things. I thought that was what I needed to know and be attracted to if I was an adult.”

In the music industry, Eilish still holds the record for being the youngest artist in Grammy history to win all four major awards at a single ceremony. In 2020, at the age of 18, Eilish won the Grammy for New Artist, Album, Record, and Song of the Year.

When she first started out, Eilish wore loose-fitting clothes so people wouldn’t comment on her body. However, over time, Eilish has evolved her style, sometimes appearing sexy.

Eilish also shared that her great fame made her feel that her life sometimes became difficult to control, especially in dating, she found it more difficult to stick with someone: “It’s hard to meet, get to know and date someone, when people always feel shy around you, when they always think that you don’t belong to their world and class.”

The “unique” musical talent of the contemporary young generation

For those who have followed the singer, Eilish’s domination at the 2020 Grammy Awards is not too surprising. Because she is the iconic artist of the current young generation – the teenagers of “Generation Z” (Generation Z, young people born from 1996 onwards), Eilish is also considered the first international star of this generation.

At the 2021 Grammy Awards, Eilish received four nominations and won two gold statues, including Record of the Year. At the upcoming 2022 Grammy Awards early next year, Eilish received seven nominations.

Eilish began making music at age 13 with her brother Finneas, then 17. They wrote, recorded, and released new music online. Their bedroom was their first studio.

Those first songs immediately attracted attention, thanks to Eilish’s unique voice. The two brothers’ talent was increasingly affirmed, their appeal increased, and record labels took notice. The two brothers have continued to work together on music since then. Supporting them in the early steps were their parents, both of whom are artists.

Billie and Finneas were homeschooled, and their parents taught them music. They also slept in the living room, leaving the bedroom for the brothers to use as a music studio. In these limited circumstances, Eilish’s appeal grew, deepened, and matured.

Their early music was experimental and experimental. Brothers Billie and Finneas developed a unique performance style, with whispering singing inspired by viral ASMR videos (in these videos, exaggerated sounds of hair brushing, chewing, whispering… bring an indescribable feeling of excitement to the listener).

Dark themes and melancholy lyrics are a hallmark of Eilish’s music, along with her hushed, brooding singing style and genderless fashion sense. These would have made Eilish hard to “pop” in the music industry a decade ago. But to today’s younger generation, that’s all that makes her who she is.

Billie Eilish is somewhat easygoing with her appearance, not fussy or elegant, she refuses to follow what defines a female star that the public was previously familiar with.

The previous generation of young audiences imagined pop stars to be vibrant, fiery, and have eye-catching, catchy stage performances. Eilish, on the other hand, always aimed for emotional moods, requiring audiences to enjoy her music in silence.

Billie Eilish’s style is the first thing people notice about her, and it’s also the most obvious sign that she refuses to conform to gender norms for pop stars. Billie Eilish loves to wear loose, full-body clothing.

She once explained that she often wears loose clothes so that “no one can comment on my body because they don’t know what it really looks like. There’s no commenting on my body measurements, no one can say anything, because they don’t know what to say.”

If pop music under the reign of Taylor Swift, Katy Perry or Lady Gaga had to have climaxing choruses for fans to sing along, even… scream, then Billie Eilish’s music requires listeners to immerse themselves in the calm, quiet of their inner self.

For teens struggling with their lives, Eilish’s honest songs speak for themselves.

Around the world, there are more and more young people like Eilish. In the UK, the number of teenagers being treated for mental health disorders and depression has increased by 48% in the past 15 years. This is a generation under great pressure from exams and exposed to social media early.

This generation is also more aware of mental health than previous generations, and they are more honest and straightforward when dealing with mental health issues. Eilish’s candid songs resonate strongly with today’s youth.

That’s not to say Billie Eilish is an absolute pioneer; in fact, the introspective “emo” genre has had its moments in the music industry before.

But artists pursuing “emo” music in the past were mainly men, and Eilish is a female singer who, although still in her “teen” years, knows how to elevate her narrative songs to a truly mature, profound level.

Eilish reaches out to the dark corners of her soul, in the way that male rock singers often do. She expresses her feelings, sadness and inner life strongly and without hesitation. Combined with an impressive performance style and a unique fashion sense, Eilish is truly a “Generation Z” artist.

It’s this mix of genres and a genderless style that has earned Eilish a huge, youthful fan base, but she’s also received incredible critical acclaim. It’s rare for a teenage singer to be so critically acclaimed.

The Billie Eilish phenomenon shows that the model of female pop singer has changed, no longer following the standards that existed in the music industry before.
