The alternative rock format is just a dumping ground for noncountry music made by white people.

Don't really care about that, I listen to plenty of things where the singer is pretty much just talking or simply can's sing very well. What bothers me is how obnoxious the songs I've heard are. Sounds too annoying highschooler.

I think it's a ClearChannel/iHeartMedia thing - she's signed to a major label, they cut a deal, now she's being pushed on their stations. I've seen (heard) this before with other artists like Elle King, you couldn't go more than an hour with hearing her fucking obnoxious "Exes and Ohs" song, as well as all sorts of promotions to win tickets to her concerts

This.

If you have a problem with Billie eilish playing but not the garbage like Bastille and Panic at the Disco and Imagine Dragons and 21 Pilots that get regular alternative radio play I question your taste

Billie eilish is a teenage girl and isn't quote unquote radio rock hence why she gets so much needless vitriol from people who should know better

Of Monsters and Men had a pretty decent first album tbh. It's boring but at least it's not awful fucking dumpster fire Imagine Dragons.

They need to play more PtM on the radio.

Labels pushing for song of the summer is always like this. She might have staying power though.

Night Visions had some nice songs on it, Radioactive was just played way, way, way too much back then.
