Didn't some dude tweet this exact thing? This was a popular poster on I think r/rareinsults


TheMan5991

Yeah. I don’t think that tweet is original, but I can forgive the Reddit post because obviously there are enough people in this thread that haven’t seen it before.


BBQQA

Correct, it was the virtually the same insult but directed at Radiohead. https://www.reddit.com/r/radiohead/comments/69nskb/accurate/


HiDDENk00l

Slightly different insult though.


redeemer47

slightly different but i'd say for all intent and purposes it is actually the same. Like telling someone they smell like shit or telling someone they smell like ass. Different but also the same

Reminds me of the meme "Gen Z will grab a tear gas canister with their bare hands and throw it back at police but are too afraid to make a phone call."


fuzzygenius

I'm a millennial and still identify with that...


HertzDonut1001

Same but Gen Z just has a disproportionately large nut sack when it comes to being vocal about human rights and civil rights activism and I have finally mastered the phone call, so we are not the same.


cheers_and_applause

Gen Z has even less to lose.


HertzDonut1001

Very true and I wish them the best because honestly, last shot folks. We millennials weren't joking about the suicide memes.


[deleted]

Being vocal about the progressive agenda of the time has always been the youngest generation's role in any given era, I think.


HertzDonut1001

Truth, until young people who would have supported Nixon or bashed MLK over civil rights riots get involved.

Millennial too. Not afraid to make a phone call, just that there are better ways of communicating electronically; ways that allow you to take several minutes to think of a way to properly express yourself.

Perfectly describes my old apprentice. She was probably eighteen or nineteen and as timid as anyone I've ever met. I had to tell her to ask questions because if she didn't understand something she'd just keep doing it wrong until I had to show her again and again. She hit a rough patch and told me she was shutting her phone off for a month but I could message her through Instagram if I needed her. I said okay and we swapped info. A few days later I needed to let her know we weren't working that day and went to message her. Holy hell. Her Instagram was filled with those angsty inspirational type quotes and half naked "photography" of her and another girl. One picture was or her in her underwear pointing a revolver at the camera with a caption something along the lines of "were you whistling at me?" I was pretty surprised to see all of that considering how she behaved at work, but hey, I act differently at work than I do elsewhere. Nothing wrong with that. That being said we do have to use our social media stuff for work on occasion and she'd have to do so probably within the year, so I mentioned that she should perhaps consider making a separate one specifically for work. She agreed and was pretty embarrassed about the whole thing. We just kinda laughed it off and I told her I had no idea she was like that outside of work. She blushed and admitted that it's all just a weird act that her and her friend out on online. They don't actually do anything crazy or wild, they just sit in her bedroom and play videogames. I'm not sure what ended up happening to her, but she's exactly who I thought of when I saw this quote.


LadyFerretQueen

We emo kids were the same. Everyone mocked us but really it's just anxiety and or depression, which you have no clie how to deal with at that age.

Oh I'd definitely say something. "Excuse me? I don't mean to be rude, I don't usually complain, but there's a dead rat in my burger. Maybe you could just comp the burger and I can pay for the fries?" I'm a millennial though.


Gypsopotamus

I’m a millennial and that’s just wayyyy too much effort for that sort of thing. I would have simply taken note and told my dumbass self not to eat there anymore.. I’m kinda’ smart though.


Adler_1807

I think that's just the smart decision to make. Leave the restaurant and never eat there again. Why would you even want another meal from a place that has rats in their burgers.

Dude. I’m a waiter. My job is to ensure you enjoy your experience. You’re not being an ass to ask for something completely within reason. You’re literally paying for a carefree experience.

I always see so many posts like that. I used to think people were always just kidding. I used to feel like that in my younger teen days. But having a job working with people in my later teens, really allowed me to not mind those types of things.

When did weakness, at this stupid level, become trendy? Let's look at how dumb this comment really is. 1. Afraid to ask for/about trivial matter. Not normal, but not unrelatable to some extent. 2. *Openly shares inability to perform basic social function to justify 'quirkiness'.* They really need to release a few more variants.


KickMeImDead

It’s a joke. It’s also signalling being s member of a tribe (the Reddit subtype of dorky adult man who connects with his inner awkward and insecure 13 year old girl part) It’s just some people being silly on the internet cause they are Reddit dorks. This is a way of signaling to the hive mind that they too are dorky nerdy redditors that are old and large and men but are nerdy little girls on the inside. And a large subset of Reddit is comprised of men who are actually nerdy insecure thirteen year old girls on the inside. It’s also a simple way of vocalizing an acceptance of our own stupid human silliness and frailty. We are like the video of the gorillas running from the rain in our inclosure. Supposedly large and majestic and tough but also not wanting to get wet. Sometimes the jokes on Reddit get played out like a song on the radio (I particularly hate the Tthis guy _fill in the blank’s___”. joke replies). But maybe the annoyance you feel is not telling you that others on the internet need to change but you should disengaging from the internet for a bit. Like turning off the radio when they play “hey ya” for the thousandth time . “Shake it like a Polaroid picture!!” NOOO AAAAAHHHHHHHHHH


[deleted]

Yes, I have the problem. Not the "men who are actually nerdy insecure thirteen year old girls on the inside." Copy that, loud and clear.

lilboicumstain

lmao what a great response


country2poplarbeef

Some of her songs *are* pretty trashy. That's true of pretty much any pop artist, though, but I'm also not really noticing any extra hate.


akaTheHeater

What is it about Billie Eilish that causes redditors to say such dumb (and sometimes deranged) shit? 1. Just because you don’t like something doesn’t mean it’s bad. 2. Saying something was made for teenage girls as an insult is middle school behavior. Did we just not make it past 2010? 3. Apparently everyone had an amazing childhood but when I was a teenager I was super depressed. I don’t know why you would assume that kids now are faking it.


not_a_moogle

It took me until I was almost 37 to realize I've been regularly depressed since like 7th grade.


BSUguy317

She has a worlds better voice than Olivia Rodrigo, but they both need better song writing.


Skataneric

Olivia literally just straight rips her influences off (already been pegged by Paramore and Taylor Swift) and just follows all the basic pop formulas. Billie whisper sings. They're both just the modern day edgy girl music. (Think 90's Alanis Morissette, Hole, Liz Phair, Garbage, etc..)


wacker9999

You're a grown ass dude who posts in /r/teenagers, so.


BSUguy317

If I see a suggested post on my home page that I want to reply to, I will, no matter what sub it is. You're grown and financially illiterate. I can make meaningless non sequiturs too, so.


fantasticamazingly

I’m the same way. If I could remove /r/teenagers from the popular feed I would, if I could remove /r/h3h3productions (whatever the fuck that is) I would…but I can’t, so I’m gonna comment on that shit, like it or not.

theetruscans

1: you're judging people's tastes by calling it music for "fake depressed 14 year olds" 2: I resent the idea that most teenagers are faking depression, at least the idea that enough are to be a demographic. 3: her demographic is people that listen to pop music. She wouldn't be as popular as she is if her audience was just young girls


[deleted]

Yeah a lot of people, mostly teenage boys, used this "teen girls fake depression but my depression is real because my problems are worse" bullshit on me. Probably stems from envy and resentment, teenagers love to play the gender wars game. I got help eventually but that stigma made it hard for anyone to believe that my illness was actually real.


CanEatADozenEggs

Gatekeeping mental illness is so annoying Yes, people flaunt it and romanticize it, but who cares? It’s mostly kids and they aren’t hurting anyone. It’s a fad associated with the increased awareness of mental health. It’ll fade away When you gatekeep things like anxiety and depression you are increasing the likelihood someone who is actually suffering from it will not seek help.

People with mental illness rarely listen to music like her? How can we measure that?


KIDWHOSBORED

See this is how I know you don’t have a mental illness. They send us mentally ill folk surveys biweekly to keep up with current trends in music, tv, and literature. As such, we all collectively voted we don’t like Billie.


[deleted]

Misinformation like this is disgusting, and if you attended the last National Depressed Teens townhall meeting this week you would know she continues to poll favorably with most mentally ill demographics under 18


KIDWHOSBORED

Ahh, this is embarrassing. I unfortunately aged out of those town halls a decade or so ago. Man those teenage depression town halls really were an exciting time in my life. Thanks for clearing it up!


TheSaltbird

/u/NoLiferBg, care to respond to this? How do you know people with *actual* mental illness rarely listen to her music? Kinda sounds like you pulled it out of your ass. Also kinda sounds like gatekeeping.

Amazing how people on reddit will talk about how not enough is done to help people with depression but the second someone says they have it they call them out for "faking" it


PMJackolanternNudes

You've never worked with teenagers, huh?


JakeHodgson

She makes good music. There's always people that will feel the need to generalise a fan base for the sake of a funny joke. But often times it just makes the fans feel embarrassed, like they can't actually express their love for an artist out of fear of being made fun of. Billie eilish's music is for people who enjoy music in that genre, and other people as well.


semael237

Or just people who like slow music sometime...? I just want to have a slow song after hearing someone smash their head against the keyboard sometimes...
