I’m a Peep fan. I’m sitting here watching a Kurt Cobain documentary and felt a strong pull to share this.

The more I listen to Lil Peep, and the more I listen to and read about artists like Kurt Cobain, the more I see the similarities. I am not saying Peep reached the same level of success or cultural impact as Kurt, Syd Barrett, Prince, or other true revolutionaries. He never had the time. He only had 21 years, and it felt like his sound was starting to evolve into something genuinely next level.

What made Peep so special was how naturally he blended styles. Emo, trap, rap, punk, rock, grunge, cloud rap, alternative, lo-fi, and pop melodies all came together in a way that was unmistakably his own. It never felt manufactured. It felt like the sound of someone turning their inner world into music.

Like Kurt, Peep carried a lot of vulnerability, emotional weight, and raw honesty. There was also a restless, fearless quality in the way he expressed himself. I do not think pain should ever be romanticised, but it is hard to deny that both artists were able to turn difficult emotions, isolation, and inner conflict into music that felt honest, human, and deeply affecting.

That is what I have always connected with. I still listen to Peep a great deal because his music does not feel distant or overly polished. It feels immediate. He could take loneliness, heartbreak, love, confusion, and emotional struggle, and put it straight into a track without filtering it. You do not just hear the song. You feel the person behind it.

I genuinely believe he was on the cusp of changing the scene in a much bigger way. You can hear it in his later work. He was becoming sharper, more confident, and more ambitious with his sound. Maybe the world was not fully ready for what he was becoming.

He certainly changed something in me. His music helped me through a difficult time, and I know a lot of people feel the same. That kind of connection is rare.

For anyone who has properly dived into his music, I would love to hear your thoughts. Do you think Peep would have become one of the defining artists of his generation?

How are we not talking about this eric andre x Alison wonderland crossover more. I wasn’t at EDC but if you were there and experienced this intro. How does it feel to be gods favorite?

Since the start of 2026, the music world has changed
AI Music has now made up at least 28% up to 40% of daily uploads onto these platforms, and a decent chunk belongs to people pushing out AI music solely for profit over any form of creativity
 
With the addition of Spotify "carefully" labeling real musicians who do not use AI Generation, their requirements have left many musicians who don’t use any AI Generation and just below this requirement in the dust.

 
I feel that two additions to both of these platforms will let users / listeners who use these music platforms daily be able to fully understand in a complete transparent way on WHO they are listening to and WHAT they are listening to.
 
If there is enough evidence to show that the artist on this platform is AI Generated and not a real-life musician, it should have an "May Contain AI Generation" label on the artist profile itself, similar to how Spotify now has "Verified By Spotify" so the listener understands that the person behind the songs they are listening to with full transparency.
If there is enough evidence to show that the song on this platform is AI Generated, it should be listed next to the artist name on these platforms with "May Contain AI Generation", so if a listener finds the song on a "Mix" or a "Radio" they are listening to, they are able to view that the song could have AI Generation involved with it.
Considering that both of these platforms have allowed AI Generated Music to be put on the platform and have started to implement a crude method to verify musicians who don’t use AI at all, we need to at least have full transparency that the track was either made by a real human or made by an AI or an Hybrid AI/Human track

I really don’t like any of the new trap I hear. I know many people love it but I just hate the poppy, festival sound so much I can’t do it. Anytime people have told me something sounds like the old school trap it never actually does.

So, is there anything that actually sounds like songs like Pockets, Trap on Acid, Scylla, Bird Machine, Tell Me, Love Sosa where it’s haaaard and heavy as opposed to dreamy pop remixes? No diss to those who like the mainstream festival pop sound cuz I know many do, but I’d love recs for anything besides that lol both old and new. I got put off new trap for years cuz everytime I try I can’t find anything hard and heavy so I gave up but I don’t wanna be that guy

Apple Music

She prefaced her set by saying she wasn't fucking around, and indeed she wasn't. She went pretty fucking hard and I was going feral.

In particular, there was some remix of Everyone Nose. This is the only clip I was able to find of it. The drop is living rent-free in my head.

Anyone recognize it? Or is this something I have to wait for?

I totally get why trap artists play a lot of other artists songs and remixes live, but I’ve seen some RL grime sets with almost no originals. Of the originals played, they were mostly newer stuff or basically soft (lack of better word lol) remixes of pop kinda songs.

I would love to see more originals thrown in, especially with older songs like the High Beams EP songs and old mixtape shit. I feel the same with some other artists as well, but I totally get why they play so much other shit. Does anyone have recs for recorded live sets from the modern era with rl grime playing the old shit?
