There are plenty of musicians who, at least once in their careers, have created dark and depressive music. Despite that, listeners have loved and adored them. Now, Eilish is also one of them. While her music represents the youth, some of them find it dark, depressive, and sad. When asked about it, the singer found it weird because she sees her music differently. “It was surprising to me that people thought anything I was creating was dark. I mean, it’s real,” said the Bad Guy singer.

Opening up about it, she recalls the early stages of her career. While the Happier Than Ever singer’s views differed from these people’s, she found this surprising. She also gave examples of The Beatles and their music. Lana Del Rey’s songs While My Guitar Gently Weeps and Yesterday are also the kind of songs that Eilish sings.
