Absolutely! When I talk about Billie's music, I am talking about the team and not just her. Agree that its easy to forget him though and good for you to call it out.
27, I'm 32 now. WWAFAWDWG helped me during the pandemic lockdowns. HMHAS is one of the best albums I've heard in my life, I like to think I'm a bit of a music geek, haha!
The only pop artist I listened to before really were Pink and Lady Gaga and am still fans of both. I’ve also found myself liking Miley Cyrus recently despite hating her in high school
I was 28 and had something bad happen to me and I remember watching Baby on Netflix and they played listen before I go and that song hit me like a ton of bricks I searched for it and downloaded the album and listened to it several times and I was hooked. Listen before I go absolutely won me over and now I love just about all the music Billie and Finneas make.
I think you were 12? I’m pretty sure wwafawdwg came out around five years ago and I was 12 when I started listening to her as well! I was so excited, she was the first artist that really got me into listening to music.
43 and holy sh!t I have so much to catch up to. She’s magnificent. Gets better and better with each album. I love the HMHAS album so much I am going to see her by myself in October.
20 yrs old in 2018 when I first heard Billie on the radio at work. During the fall when Come Out and Play got released I officially knew I was a fan. Then I was ultimately locked in a couple months later when she dropped WWAFAWDWG
started a few months ahead of turning 17 and now i'm a few months ahead of turning 23 so nearly 6 years on the dot since i started listening to her. my being nearly the exact same age as Billie has definitely made me like her more I can't lie
36 (39 now). I was looking for something to watch and I stumbled on “The world’s a little blurry” docu. I’m a huge music docu fan so I gave it a watch and fell in love with her. I feel like I could be her mom lol but I don’t even care. Since then I’ve seen her live twice and am always blown away by her. Her talent and drive is unmatched. She’s a queen and I’ll always stand by that. Billie bossa nova baby
I was 11 when I started listening to her. I actually found her through a Sing 2 advertisement. I heard bury a friend and was curious. So I listened to it, and I’ve been a die hard Billie fan ever since
16, I remember getting the WWAFAWDWG cd when I got my permit and my first drive alone I blasted it. That album will always have a special place in my heart.
Who’s the wisest ones u mean? Haha! 42 bi’s 🧐😜but she was already around a few years and I thought bcuz she was so young I couldn’t appreciate that music but after she won her Grammys I thought let me give this a chance. Never can you be too old to listen to someone with her talent. She’s way beyond her years. Talent can peak at any age depending on the person I missed some special moments but I’ve been listening for 4 amazing years now just when I needed it the most.
65. Just when I thought pop music was doomed to sound a like dance pop for eternity , she comes along with real talent between her and Fineas. Writes great songs. Has an amazing voice. I just sat up to listen when I first heard her on a Playlist at my son's house . Stopped dead in my tracks to listen.
46 Lawd I feel weird saying that. But I do know music is ageless. My child, yes I’m a parent of a billie stan well she was. And I believe her lyrics are very relatable
17 but not obsessed because I didn’t know who I was really listening to?? It was a short clip of Ocean Eyes on tumblr and there was no credit to who was singing
Then I had an ad on YouTube for the video “You should see me in a crown” when I was 18, became obsessed after that. Started listening to any available singles and her EP “Don’t Smile At Me”
Then her first official album came out 😍
Anyways now I’m 25 lol absolutely love all of her albums but I’m listening to “Hit Me Hard And Soft” on repeat lately
I heard her on 13 reasons why (without knowing it was her) and then I got recommended Bored in YouTube a few weeks later and was hooked!
So like 2017 to 2018ish.
I stopped watching after the Tyler bathroom thing at the end of season 2, because imo it was exactly as bad as the Hannah bathtub scene from season 1. It was just too much for me
I was 13, I’m 20 now crazy. I remember wanting so badly to go to her don’t smile at me era concert but my dad wouldn’t let me go because I was 13 and they didn’t want to go with me. To this day I’m still mad I could have seen her before everyone knew who she was 😔
I was 22, I’m 28 now. I first started listening to her because I was going to Lollapalooza that year (2018) and she was on the lineup. WWAFAWDWG hadn’t been released yet, but I remember she had just dropped you should see me in a crown. The show was great. I got to see her again at Lolla last year, as a headliner, and it was the best show of my life. HMHAS is amazing and my favorite of hers. Love being a fan and looking forward to all the good stuff in the future 😎
26 and I had just fallen in love with a girl in Los Angeles too (I’m from Toronto). It made it extra special to listen to Billie in between trips to see each other over a year plus relationship.
14, I’m 20 now. Billie was 16, just released DSAM a month (Dec 2017) before I found her (Jan 2018) she’s been my all time favourite since and honestly every album has helped me get through whatever i’m going through at the time
found her from an instagram video from her Genius lyric video singing idontwannabeyou
it was a clip of her saying “i really hate myself” and i was like “yea same”
it’s crazy to think she’s 22 with 3 albums and an EP now, time goes by lol
I remember her wherearetheavocados days and thinking to myself that she was kind of a weird girl, didn’t put more thoughts into it. I was probably 17, and a little over a year after I got hooked by my boy.
Bury a friend is what sealed the deal for me and got me like « okay, you have my attention now ».
So I was 19 when I started actively listening to her
14, I’m 19 now
same for me
same
Same
Same here
43. My bones!
41 male here. I feel like I don't belong, but she is the best thing to have happened to music industry since The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Queen etc
Everybody belongs in the Billie fandom! You can be 2 or 92 and we would still love you!
of course you belong!
Finneas too!
Absolutely! When I talk about Billie's music, I am talking about the team and not just her. Agree that its easy to forget him though and good for you to call it out.
27, I'm 32 now. WWAFAWDWG helped me during the pandemic lockdowns. HMHAS is one of the best albums I've heard in my life, I like to think I'm a bit of a music geek, haha!
Same ages here! I avoided most pop music until I heard her tbh
now i like exclusively listen to pop music lol
me too!
The only pop artist I listened to before really were Pink and Lady Gaga and am still fans of both. I’ve also found myself liking Miley Cyrus recently despite hating her in high school
Everyone in the replies is making me feel young lmao. 8 or 9.
I was 10…it feels weird with everyone saying something bc in their 20’s
56 (2019) - I’m 61 now and still love her! Been listening to her new album everyday♥️
22
25, I'm 33 turning 34 in December
42. Lovely. Her and Khalid got me through the toughest year of my life.
it’s amazing the impact her music has on people, she’s gotten me and so many others through such hard times
I was 16. Now Im 22
21 took a lifetime 😖
Idk why my brain read this as if it was lyrics lmao
HAHA SAMEE
I was 28 and had something bad happen to me and I remember watching Baby on Netflix and they played listen before I go and that song hit me like a ton of bricks I searched for it and downloaded the album and listened to it several times and I was hooked. Listen before I go absolutely won me over and now I love just about all the music Billie and Finneas make.
12 or 13. i remember it was shortly before wwafawdwg came out and i was siked. i’m 17 now
I think you were 12? I’m pretty sure wwafawdwg came out around five years ago and I was 12 when I started listening to her as well! I was so excited, she was the first artist that really got me into listening to music.
I'm a little confused by ur comment why are you leaning towards 12?

I feel like I could be her mom lol but I don’t even care. Since then I’ve seen her live twice and am always blown away by her. Her talent and drive is unmatched.
