Hey there, music lovers! Today, we’re diving into the wild and wonderful world of sickboi music, a genre that’s all about raw emotion, catchy beats, and a sprinkle of internet culture. Grab your headphones and let’s groove through this history together!
So what exactly is sickboi music? Well, it’s an underground musical movement largely rooted in hip-hop and emo influences. Think sad-boy vibes mixed with catchy pop hooks — it’s emotional but adds a playful twist to the whole scene. This genre captures feelings like heartbreak, anxiety, and existential dread while still maintaining an upbeat tempo.
Emerging from various online platforms like SoundCloud in the mid-2010s, sickboi music revolves around themes of youth angst and digital life. Many artists self-identify as “sickboys”, embracing both vulnerability and confidence.
To trace back our groovy roots: Picture the late 2000s to early 2010s when emo was at its peak with major acts like My Chemical Romance or Fall Out Boy belting out angsty ballads. Meanwhile, hip-hop was evolving rapidly with artists pushing boundaries – enter Lil Peep on the scene in 2015.
Lil Peep (a.k.a Gustav Elijah Åhr) blended moody guitar riffs typical in emo rock with trap beats that were characteristic of hip-hop. He dropped tracks like “Star Shopping” that went viral — capturing hearts (and feels) everywhere!
Did you know Lil Peep had a pet snake named Coco? Yep! He took Coco everywhere he went; who knew snakes could be such dedicated fans?
After Lil Peep laid down some tracks that rocked both scenes simultaneously, other artists began popping up left and right. Names like Bones, XXXTentacion, Juice WRLD, and many more started gaining traction on platforms where they could directly reach their audience without record labels breathing down their necks.
These musicians often founded collective groups too—like GothBoiClique—where collaborations flourished under neon lights reflecting their anguish yet quirky personas.
Rumor has it Bones once wrote an entire song while waiting for his pizza delivery because he couldn’t leave his house. Talk about ‘deliverable’ art!
Sickbois are not just musicians—they’re part of an entire aesthetic culture built online featuring unique fonts (think grunge!), pastel colors splashing over dark themes representing heartbreak or suburban despair… quite poetic if I may say so!
The community surrounding sickboi culture thrives within Reddit threads showcasing very relatable memes about depression paired with nostalgic anime images—it speaks to followers’ hearts straight through cyber space.
A lot of these artists express love for Japanese anime; a certain musician known as Yung Lean even coined phrases inspired by his favorite shows!
As we moved into late 2018-2020 era post-Lil Peep’s passing—a time filled with tributes—we saw others take inspiration which birthed sub-genres termed “emo rap.” Artists combined vocal melodies reminiscent of bands from yesteryears along lyrical depth containing real-life struggles forming powerful songs across charts worldwide!
Artists today continue this legacy mixing genres freely—the likes of Machine Gun Kelly releasing albums stacked full-on rock elements show how far we’ve come from just beats layered atop those good ol’ confessional lyrics!
What’s music without its fair share of quirks? Check out some lighthearted moments:
Juice WRLD once freestyled for over an hour during a concert because he forgot where he was supposed to stop!
Yung Lean infamously mentioned being “inspired” by eating snacks while watching cartoons – snack time motivation anyone?
Before getting serious about making money off his tunes early on Slim Shady style—you guessed it! XXXTentacion did free performances at random parking lots giving away homemade lemonade alongside heartfelt jams!
Lil Uzi Vert once claimed he’d make another album only if someone made him one million sandwiches… It’s good for your creativity—or maybe just hunger pangs?
Although many faced hardships personal or professional—they turned trials into triumph inspiring countless listeners sharing tales behind every beat dropping thousands strong messages intertwined between verses—the power lies within connecting souls across streams scribbling notes wrapped tightly around fingerlings tapping screens late at night.
