Recently, Billie Eilish made headlines when she announced that she had wiped her phone clean of any social media apps to maintain some time without the Internet.
This move was seen as a bold decision for someone so famous on social media, but it has sparked a conversation about the importance of taking breaks from technology and the digital world.
Billie Eilish Deleted Every Social Media App On Her Phone
Billie Eilish has split up with her social media accounts, announcing that she will no longer use them. As an artist in the Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend: Musician Series, the “Happier Than Ever” singer talked about her experiences growing up with the internet and the reasons why she chooses to keep her distance from it in the future.
“I don’t look at it anymore. I’ve deleted it all off my phone, which is such a huge deal for me,” said Ms. O’Brien as she explained the situation to him. “You didn’t have the internet to grow up with … I feel like I grew up in the perfect time of the internet that wasn’t so internet-y that I didn’t have a childhood. I really had such a childhood and I was doing stuff all the time. It was computer and games on computers, but barely.”
Once she became an adolescent, Eilish noticed that her internet habits went from that of a celebrity to those of a typical teen, which quickly became a complicated issue.
“Being a teenager on the internet, those were my people. I was one of those people on the internet,” recalled the 21-year-old when asked about her experience. “Within myself I feel like nothing changed, but … to change nothing about the person that I am and the life that I live, and to just keep doing what I do over the years, slowly the videos that I’m watching and the things that I’m seeing on the internet are about me. I’m like … ew! Stinky! I don’t like that.”
