"The only place different social types can genuinely get along with each other is in heaven."

"I hate everybody in my hometown
I wanna burn my old highschool into the ground
I hate everybody in my hometown
Tell the rich kids to look at me now"


Lil' Peep - Cry Alone
(From Come Over When You're Sober Part 2 album; 2018)



Crux of this song? It's okay to be down with the Trenchcoat Mafia if you're an outlaw like Jason Dean and not an oddball like Dylan Klebold.

Dear diary, my teen angst bullshit is back with a body count. I can't cosign Lil ' Peep's Madchester curtains in the Cry Alone video, I can cosign the song itself. Lil' Peep's debt to Max B stays unacknowledged, but it's there in the way he finds melody in monotone, and it's deliberate. Basically, when Peep was bad he was the 'Murican Milkavelli, and when Peep was good he was the mall-goth Max B. Song rating: BQ or plain? BQ!!!

Related: R.I.P to ScuzzTV on the Freeview music channels. Where is ya host now supposed to catch the videos for Green Day's Basket Case, Crazy Town's Butterfly, Sum 41's Fatlip, and Fall Out Boy's Dance Dance when KerrangTV is playing shitty Biffy Clyro videos all night?

I posted my edit of Girls and linked Benz Truck last year. I only like a handful of songs by him, though.

Veins too.

xanax fantasia said...

veins ftw

for some reason the only person i have heard say that "lil peep part one" is his most groundbreaking project both creatively and in terms of how much it changed his life is his mom but i think she's really on to something !

to me the under-appreciated classic off that one is "high school"

Kelvin Mack10zie said...

Not heard High School before.

Listening now and it's definitely peak-Christian Slater in Heathers Peep.

xanax fantasia said...

wow that is exactly it hahah

who is making winona ryder in heathers music tho?? is this an untapped market

Kelvin Mack10zie said...

Beabaadoobee and Olivia Rodrigo?

Sidenote, I went see Heathers: The Musical a month or so back and the girl who played Heather Chandler kinda stole the show.

xanax fantasia said...

xanax fantasia said...

lil peep "feelz" also an early, underrated, actual rap song by him where he goes full "california silver surfer by way of rhcp serial killer" hahaha
