Though Alice Cooper and Billie Eilish are of different genres and generations, there’s a strain of darkness that connects them artistically. Cooper is widely known as the king of shock rock, having emerged in the 1970s with hits like “School’s Out” and “I’m Eighteen,” coupled with his elaborate stage shows that continue to draw crowds to this day.
