We're the anti-meme community where the joke is that there isn't one, and by explaining that, we've ruined the whole thing, but we all find the collective misery hilarious.
The music of comedy is more important than the joke itself.
Follow the instance rules please, this is a lovely instance.

"Man raised with exact same formative influences in exact same family unit as Billie Eilish, and who spent a majority of his life with her, has similar opinions about what personal aesthetics he appreciates" is not exactly something that gives me any pause.
Oh, and BTW, he's also a musician, he performs with Billie frequently, they hang out together a LOT, and he's only 5 yrs older so has had extremely similar musical and cultural influences too.
I'm far more puzzled by the fact that someone out there thinks this is an unexpected situation. It would be more notable if he was into totally different things and dated someone vastly different from the person he grew up with and spends the most time with.
Even if the implied incestuous desire were the case here, that's also fairly uninteresting. Incest is the most popular fantasy out there, judging by it's prevalence on porn sites. I don't even consider it unusual anymore, it's part of like 75% of mainstream sexual fantasies now. Acting like it's wild mysterious nonsense if Billie's brother was "secretly" attracted to his sister is kind of goofy IMO. It would be stranger if he didn't think his sister was attractive.
I know, I've thought about this way too much this morning.
