In the past few days, Billie Eilish has reached some cultural tipping point where she's gone from being "extremely famous" to being "way too famous."

This has apparently been happening for a while now. Last year, videos of one fake Eilish ordering drive-thru and another fake Eilish causing a mob scene at a mall both racked up millions of views.
