There’s nothing pop Twitter likes more than to throw canceled parties for various stars, and this time they may have come up with the flimsiest reason yet—seventeen-year-old singer Billie Eilish turned out not to be a fan of Lady Gaga’s iconic, and infamous, meat dress.

According to stan Twitter, a vegan being less than enthused about couture made entirely of raw meat is a bannable offense, and Eilish should disappear into obscurity as penance for expressing a personal preference. Gaga’s dress was “fashion” and “iconic,” say anti-Eilish fans of the artist, making any criticism of it not just wrong but unacceptable and worthy of full-scale Twitter fury.

Lady Gaga’s meat dress had MORE impact than Billie Eilish’s entire career. Period! #billieelishisoverparty https://t.co/NNcLv0C43f

She’s trash anyway….Stan an artist with great music and kind heart like Lady Gaga. Stop stanning trash artist. Raise your standard sweetheart.
It’s very true that the meat dress was actually an art-based political statement about the American military’s Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell policy, but as Eilish would have been eight at the time, and much of the media failed to cover that aspect even then, it’s unfair to expect her to know that off the cuff. Plus it’s perfectly valid to criticize art even if you agree with the message. That’s how art works. And plenty of people who supported Gaga’s anti-discrimination point were grossed out at the same time.
I’m a HUGE Lady Gaga fan and I thought the meat dress was yucky too… Lol it doesn’t mean you hate or even dislike the person. Everyone has different opinions 🤷#billieelishisoverparty pic.twitter.com/4sgfRscFR0

Gaga did this like 8 years ago. I’m still disgusted. Imagine the smell in the Cali heat. RAW. MEAT. Imagine being mad about the opinions of a 17 year old over a years old publicity stunt. Goodbye #BillieEilishisoverparty for what ?? https://t.co/z0hGz4ch3s

In fact, a lot of Gaga fans came into the hashtag to express disgust over the whole thing, posting out that Eilish is a teenager and Gaga’s “whole thing is kindness,” so she probably wouldn’t be here for the discourse either.
Little Monster here, & any “monsters” tryin’ to cancel Billie, your inner boomer is showing.

While some thought this was indicative of a bullying problem among Little Monsters in general.

Some pointed out that Eilish has taken a lot of unfair and creepy attacks from both the public and the media already, born out of society’s problems with teenage girls and its need to both sexualize them and deride everything they love.

I was confused when I saw #billieelishisoverparty trending and y’all are really mad at an actual kid saying she didn’t like Gaga’s meat dress? pic.twitter.com/sV4PS640gY

I don’t know who Billie Eilish is, except that she is a young singer.
— Steve Heffernan (@SteveHef) December 6, 2019
What I do know, though, is that she gets a lot of unnecessary grief for very silly reasons. #billieelishisoverparty
Meanwhile, people are getting pretty tired of the constant “[X] is over parties,” started over increasingly petty reasons.

If you unironically use any #isoverparty, you’re what is wrong with social media.#billieelishisoverparty is absurd.

Every time l say someone is over, it’s always some stupid reason… #everywholikedthatdressisoverparty 😂😂😂😂 might as well, also k-pop accounts, stop posting gifs at every “over party” hashtag, 😂😂#billieelishisoverparty

And there’s a large push to turn this into an #onisionisoverparty instead, referring to the YouTuber whose real name is Gregory Jackson and against whom there are multiple accusations of abuse and the grooming of underage girls.

A hashtag which has now taken off in its own right, though how much of that is traffic diverted from the anti-Billie Eilish hashtag remains unclear.
