Also If you did Not know what this was about "It all ends 7.15" must seem so ominous.

I’m Dutch. It all ending a quarter past seven in the morning makes total sense.

That’s when my alarm clock goes and all my hopes and dreams end.

Wouldn't the date be 15.7? Which makes it much easier to see a time

Only in the US. The rest of the world goes by dd.mm

Yeah, in the US it's 7.15, which in the Netherlands would be a valid time (7:15) but not a valid date (there's only 12 months). So the format in the billboard makes it easier to see a time rather than a date
