Once again, an upcoming or popular artist gets mentioned on MacRumors, because Apple has interacted with them in some way, and legions of MR Forum denizens come out to diss said artist, and high-five each other for how great they all are at dissing people they've never met (with a side of how no music is good except for what they listened to in high school or college).

This is an artist, a young woman, who wears baggy clothes so that she can't be body-shamed by... people like you (because, isn't society neat these days?). But no matter, you find other ways to heap abuse. (Hell, one of the heavily upvoted comments here is someone fantasizing about her being beaten unconscious by a super macho guy, for the offense of making music they don't like - and apparently lots of people think that's a great idea.)

Meanwhile, according to Wikipedia, "She has been nominated for six Grammy Awards, including Record of the Year, Album of the Year, Song of the Year and Best New Artist. She is the youngest artist ever to have been nominated for the Big Four Grammy Awards. ... Eilish broke the record for most simultaneously charting Hot 100 songs by a female artist, with 14 ... She is the first and, to date, only artist born in the 2000s to record a number-one single in the US. Eilish has eight gold and four platinum singles in the US."

She's been on world tours playing to large audiences of happy fans, been nominated for all those awards, been on the top of the music charts (more songs in the top 100 at the same time than any other female artist in history), and did all of this before her 18th birthday. What have you accomplished lately?

I must be getting old because I find her top songs bland and really not good.

It's not you getting old, it's people's taste getting worse and worse

The soundtrack for Clown World.

This is what happens when people bitch about Apple having a band like U2 play at one of their events or whatever got everyone’s panties in a knot. They go and hire some weird looking dude nobody has heard of.

It’s not the sort of music I listen to but I understand not everything has to cater to me.

I may not care for her music - In fact I've barely heard any of it since I almost exclusively listen to stuff I first heard 20 years ago - but what you wrote is so important.

People born in the 70's or earlier (like myself) that say there just aren't any superstars anymore - well, here you go. This is a superstar. You're just too old to get it.

Never heard of her. Couldn’t Apple get someone good?

U2 perhaps?
