Teen star Billie Eilish is being slammed by boomers for knowing a metal band that was at the height of its popularity 30 years before she was born. Fans are coming to her defense after the Van Halen ‘incident.’

Wolf Van Halen, 28, the current Van Halen bassist and son of the band’s founder/guitarist, Eddie Van Halen, tweeted his support for Billie: “If you haven’t heard of @billieeilish, go check her out. She’s cool. If you haven’t heard of @VanHalen, go check them out. They’re cool too. Music is supposed to bring us together, not divide us. Listen to what you want and don’t shame others for not knowing what you like.”
