Rather than stepping into the growing wave of extrovert pop, Eilish has moved closer towards another booming musical trend, emo rap – evidenced not just from the music itself, but from what she wears. Eilish is the ideal “alternative” star, offering what Lorde and Charli XCX did when they first emerged: a witchy, brooding outcast who looks like them, talks like them… but who is just that little bit cooler.
