Who are some musicians with humble beginnings?

"i pioneered disconnection rock"
-some fucking guy

Billie Eilish wasn't a "bedroom pop" discovery. She was born into Hollywood industry privilege. Both parents were famous actors and musicians. Born to Maggie Baird and Patrick O'Connell — both veteran actors with extensive credits. Mother appeared on Broadway, TV shows like Bones, The X-Files, Six Feet Under, and worked with The Groundlings comedy troupe. Father appeared in The West Wing, Iron Man, and NYPD Blue. Not bedroom producers — industry professionals with connections.

Industry Access from Birth: Mother "taught her the basis of songwriting". Immediate industry networking through parents' Hollywood careers. Wealthy parents served as safety net in case career didn't pan out. Billie's talent was real — but so was her Hollywood privilege.

Just shut up and show your tits Billie

Why are nepobabies so ashamed of being nepos?

>REDDIT TOLD ME HER PARENTS WERE RICH, SO IT MUST BE TRUE!

>>127150467

>>127150271 (OP)
LOL

>>127150271 (OP)
what a disgusting skank. total neposhit death.

>>127150688
her parents weren't rich, but they definitely weren't poor. billie, like a lot of middle class kids, has no experience with actual poverty so she assumes that parents stressing about bills sometimes=poor.

>>127150615
Because their handlers think it's still 20 years ago where no one had constant internet access and you could easily debunk someone's claims or origin stories on your phone.

>>127150467
>Both parents were famous actors and musicians.
lists two extras no one ever heard of
fuck off lol

>>127152450
She lived in a 2 bedroom house and her parents slept in the living room. That sounds like below average to me.

>She was poor but there's no proof of that.
"industry plant with Hollywood privilege and
corporate bullshit story to fool the masses
but I'm too smart to be fooled"

>She was rich but there's no proof of that.
"defo a nepo."

>my favorite pop whore grew up poor!!
fucking jeet thread

>>127150271 (OP)
>Who are some musicians with humble beginnings?
Uh, Elvis?

Holy mother of wall.

>>127152506
this, no one lies on the internet btw

After abandoning pop country Taylor Swift stopped pretending she grew up like Dolly Parton in a shack with one coat her grandma sewed for her.

>>127150271 (OP)
>I’M DEPRESSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!$$!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

>>127152801
what? she never did that.

>>127152801
imagine growing up with Dolly Parton and having nothing but those boobs to keep you warm at night, I mean wouldn't that be terrible?

Ozzy Osbourne

>>127150688
>>127150467
I don't know about famous, but her mom was a known voice actress. Which is still good money. Any of you play Mass Effect? Her mom was Samara.

i mean some people said Chappell Roan's parents were rich because her dad was a veterinarian but i'm sure what's "rich" in her flyover shithole home town would buy you a toolshed in Marin County.

>>127152531
in southern california and more specifically the nicer part of Glendale, that's a 1.5 million dollar house

>>127150271 (OP)

Loretta Lynn
Shania Twain
Patsy Cline
Celine Dion
Bobby Womack
Ringo Starr
Elizabeth Cotton
Dolly Parton

Vets are technically doctors. They probably should get paid more, since pets are important, but they still make 6 figures. At least upper middle class. Many of them run their own clinics, so maybe more.

>>127152606
>IS THAT A WRINKLE? OMG SHE IS WALLED BRO I WOULD NEVER!

>>127152926
Patti Page, kek. She grew up in an Oklahoma farm family with like 8 siblings and they had no electricity or running water for much of her childhood.

>>127152904
Oh yeah I remember my dad bumping Scott Adams's podcast and he was talking about his cat's vet bill being like $20,000 and I thought "Well lol that's because he lives in the Bay Area where everyone is rich and veternarians way overcharge you because they figure you can afford it."

>>127152926
Pretty much all early country, blues, and rock. Rap is the only one with many artists with actual humble beginnings now, but not in a good way.

>>127152962
California is either for the rich or the dirt poor. No inbetween anymore. And yet people want this to be the future for everyone.

>>127152935
This, she was born ugly and can't help it.

Johnny Cash picked cotton in Arkansas when he was a child.

>>127152947
Most pre-rock singers seem to have been relatively middle class Page was somewhat exceptional in that regard. BTW the Boswell Sisters were the original rich brats of pop music.

Iggy Pop grew up in a trailer park. So did Sammy Hagar.

I think Bobby Darin. His teenage mother was pumped and dumped by an unnamed and unidentified dude and he believed for a good deal of his life that his mom was his sister and his grandmother was his mom.

>>127153059
There was a funny story Iggy told when Bowie took him under his wing and was visiting his trailer home where his parents still lived. Iggy was trying to clean up and not succeeding much after the Stooges and Bowie was this big start who saw all of this promise in him. Iggy's dad was telling Bowie how happy he was and hope he helps take care of his son. Iggy got all embarrassed like he was a little kid again. "Shut up dad!"

>>127150467
Actors don't get paid that well unless they are A listers. You can learn the basis of songwriting from any youtube tutorial. None of this shit is "privilege"

>>127153059
i'm surprised hagar especially doesn't get mentioned in the "artists who became successful late" conversations. he didn't reach any sort of success until his late 20s and didn't even score his role in van halen until he was about to turn 40.

this bitch was always busted and retarded

>>127152898
Good game and character, Billie should pay respect to her mother by cosplaying as Samara.

>>127153120
I think they did that with Ted Bundy too. At least it turned out better for Bobby.

Cobain was lower middle class

>>127152930
>Vets are technically doctors
lololololol
just like dentists are "doctors"
and massage therapists
and naturopaths

these people did not have a chance to become medical oncologists, but decided to be dentists instead

they're not real doctors

>>127153161
in the end, we're all just people when we're with family lol

>>127150271 (OP)
Probably pussy eater. She started with out a pot to piss in. But man could she make a pizza. She puled herself up from her bootstraps and made an album, so great... so great that she showed her entire ass for the album cover. In a few weeks, what do you know, it went platinum. Her rise to the top wasn't easy, but she made it And she earned it. enjoy it. And her name, was Whoredom. She ran for office and to this day holds a senate seat.

>>127153790
Don't be silly. Massage therapists just need a cert at best. If that. Vets still go through 8 years of education.

Bruckner

>Billie Eilish maternal uncle is politician Brian Baird. A member of the Democratic Party, he served as a U.S. representative for Washington's 3rd congressional district from 1999 to 2011.

>>127153790
Bruh, do you really think being able to discern what's wrong with a bunch of animals doesn't require a serious education?

Me

I grew up autistic and retarded ADHD loser faggot, where's my gold medal? Also don't know how to make music. Does anyone want to hear my original music?

>>127150271 (OP)
HAHAHAHAHA

>>127152930
Vets are doctors in the UK. They're actually classified as surgeons, and can legally perform surgery on a human in a life threatening emergency. Salary for a fully qualified (ie not trainee/newly qualified) is the same as a NHS doctor as well (£50k-75k) with specialists and partners earning £80k-120k plus

>>127153721
His mother was a miminum wage unskilled worker, dad was a car mechanic. That's textbook working class.
Lower middle is a job like nursing that requires qualifications but no postgrad study.

>>127150271 (OP)
Most rappers

>>127152606
>thousand cock stare from cold dead eyes
this bitch has always been vile.

>>127152930
>>127156111
I never understood why anyone would bother shelling out money for a pet's surgery. Shit like zoos or something where you're saving endangered animals? Sure. But to save a dog or cat's life? Just get a new one. If that new pet sucks, get rid of it and try again. There's no shortage of cats and dogs.

>>127150467
She just said she grew up poor

>>127156161
i don't get why some people think Drake was...come on he was the product of a single mom upbringing and she happened to get him auditioned for acting roles as a child

>>127150467
They literally made music out of their bedroom with stuff literally anyone with a computer can do. Their family being middle class has nothing to do with it

>>127156785
>Middle class
>poor

Absolutely larp tier.

>>127156785
Prince already proved well before she was alive why bedroom pop really doesn't work.

>>127150271 (OP)
Mike Love was born in a public toilet

>>127150271 (OP)
“Now I have lots of money. I’m rich”

>>127156827
by making incredible music?

>>127156856
lol Prince did not make incredible music he was really a very overrated meme

Pink? I guess her mom was a nurse or something.

>>127153059
iggy's dad was a school teacher. not big money of course, but still considered middle class.
some people just prefer living cheap and not wasting money on housing.

Sure not that one rock legend whose dad was a Navy admiral, I forget his name though.

>>127150271 (OP)
I WANNA SEE BILLIE’s EILISH

A lot of musicians come up from middle class-which is a very wide net. Someone earning 200k a year is closer to someone earning 30k than they are with someone earning millions a year. Point being is unless an artist was litteraly homeless before their career or literally a child of wealthy parents they’re probably middle class. Taylor Swift is more nepo baby than Billy Eilish.

>>127156262
Because they're humans. Not bugmen.

>>127153442
>>127156239
Right, like you silly faggots wouldn't fuck her in a heartbeat if you ever got the chance. Or are you cumguzzlers actually gay?

>>127153120
>>127153619
Jack Nicholson too.

>>127157527
John McCain?

>>127158532
I'm not black, so no thanks.

Malakian?

>>127150271 (OP)
She has some nice fat tiddies tho

>>127158532
Sorry I prefer my women not look like manjawed ogres after making out with a stove.

She's a one night slampig at best.

100% of all kids below the poverty line are foul niggers and wiggers and all of them make music that's way worse than brats like Billie.
Drill music is the worst thing America ever burdoned the world with.

>>127159487
Posting this with a tf2 is crazy

>>127159487
Fun fact: most musicians, especially bland pop "icons", come from households that can afford musical training/instruments/studio time. Either it's trust fund kids with connections through their parents (like Sematary the zoomer poser rapper) or middle class kids that thought getting an education like their moms and dads is too boring.

I like to daydream a lot and one of my favorite scenarios is one where Billie Eilish is never famous and just works at a diner. I get a job near that place and she is my waitress. After a few weeks of frequenting that diner we start getting friendly and I ask her out. Eventually we start dating, then we get married and have kids.
