Billie Eilish's music defies simple genre categorization due to her unique and experimental style. While some of her songs have been described as pop, electropop, dark pop, or combinations of genres, she incorporates diverse influences that do not strictly conform to any single genre. Her breakout hit "bad guy" in particular has been variously classified as electropop, dance-pop, pop-trap, and nu-goth pop. This documentary examines Eilish's genre-bending approach and how it has distinguished her as an artist.

Pop music is a genre of popular music which typically dominates music charts.

has a basic written pattern and has rhymes or tempos that can be easily danced to.
The pop genre’s target audience are usually teenagers.
The lyrics of modern pop songs typically focus on simple themes which often include love and
romantic relationships.

Electropop is a music genre combining elements of electronic and pop genres.
This is typically characterised by a distinctive low frequency synthesiser sound which might variously
be described as crisp, crunchy, crackly, fuzzy, warm, distorted or dirty.
It first emerged in the 1970s via artists such as Telex, Yellow Magic Orchestra and Yello but only
achieved significant mass market popularity during the 2000s.

7. Dark Pop
Dark pop is a new kind of sub-genre to pop
music that is more twisted and aggressive
than regular upbeat pop music.
The music usually conveys darker and
somber lyrics but still incorporate the
rhythm and beat of pop music.
A lot of people believe that dark pop isn’t
an actual genre and that the term should
be retired.

10. all the good girls go
to hell ( 2019)
We will be using the song all the good girls go to hell
for our music video.
The genre of this song is Pop according to Wikipedia
but I think it also includes Dark Pop aspects to it with
the lyrics including darker themes such as death and
Hell.
The music video visually signifies the darkness in the
song with very low lighting which is mainly lit by
flames and fire.

11. Artists like Eilish
I personally don’t agree that she is similar to artists like Selena
Gomez, but I think researching these artists could help us with
inspiration for our music video.
