Billie Eilish has suddenly surged in popularity, and her songs and her image offer a significant contrast to the larger popular culture landscape.  (Her songs, their themes, and even the image with which she brands herself are all “darker” than what we might typically expect in popland.)  This lesson bundle provides in-depth guided rhetorical analyses for students to engage with across two of Eilish’s hits – “Bad Guy” and “Bury a Friend.”
