Wtf are you talkibg about. People liked him because he made music for young adults to do drugs and feel cool to. He also made music for people to be sad about nothing to. Girls like him beacuse he was a skinny white dude with face tattoos and colored hair.
And now he's dead because those drugs killed him.
It's contradictory as the statement you made has no value as most of his success was from his abrasive non-conformity and misery culling (misery baiting that others can easily fall into without realizing). His sound is nothing unique and original therefore.
>ya know, if youda told me 20 years ago id see children walking the streets of our Texas towns with pink hair, tattoos on their noses, I just flat out wouldnta believed ya
>how was he so successful
muh wounded tortured soul ... literally the easiest way to part impressional zoomettes from their cash.
the oldest trick in the book.
>come into promience in a meme genre right as that genre is reaching critical mass >die before it collapses
it's just that easy. Same reason why Kurt Cobain got big. He came in and cashed in on the sound more influential and talented bands were curating right as it became a main stream phenomenon, and killed himself right before the house of cards collapsed and everyone stopped caring.
Correct me if I'm wrong but it wasn't until after he died and a bunch of bigger artists made music using his unreleased stuff that he skyrocketed in popularity right?
marketing and networking. his main collaborator (Tracy) is the son of Ishmael Butler, from Shabazz Palaces and Digable Planets https://youtu.be/cM4kqL13jGM)
trust fund money from his professor/author parents.dude's allowance was probably huge. anyone can get famous if they pump enough money into production and marketing.
See from what I know peep used to do a emo rap or whatever and like trap metal with craig xen and ghostmane. Although I guess along the way he saw how popular the sad emo shit was and stuck with that. See I thought he would just be like semi famous being around for a long time and making niche music that a certain demo likes. Nope he skyrocketed somehow
Being a retard because it’s trendy uwu
He became successful in the industry the old fashioned way - by sucking many numerous pps.
He captured the zeitgeist
He was able to mix together pop punk and "emo" with cloud rap and trap. He was one of the last artists ive heard that came up with a new sound

How does that contradict anything I said lol. If anything you just proved why so many people like him

>His sound is nothing unique and original therefore.
then please point me to those artists before him who were able to do the sound better
Blink 182, American Football, My Chemical Romance

wtf are you listening to? not a single song he made has any pop punk influence...
He ends pretty much every sentence with that drop tone inflection thing they always do in californian pop punk
compare it to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=heJNHYCSsIc
Also he is from philly/long island but incorporates elements of the california accent like using hard rs.
so lame. lol.
i cant wait til zoomers grow up and see how cringey this guy was.
you'd have to be genuinely retarded to think this
Not music
Copied Bones and was willing to sign to a label
Bones has talent but refuses to sign to a label, so lil peep is what happens if Bones goes label.
>takes sketchy drugs someone gives him on tour
>dies
lol

I literally never heard of him until he died then nobody would ever shut up about him

he was honest and earnest. add good fashion and sexy vibe = girls love that.
Whip it like a Nascar
I can see the time pass
this is all i can think about when i think of him lmao
Hellboy was an album ahead of its time. He single handedly innovated the genre

Chasing trends that existed since 2013 + dying of an OD like a fuckhead

Oh shit really???

Unironically he is a trust fund band.
