After dropping the preview for the video, Peep explained that “Awful Things” was inspired by an array of anime inspired themes from shows like Shiki and from horror archetypes like Carrie.
Watch Lil Peep’s “Awful Things” music video below:
Peep is part of the genre-defying collective GothBoiClique, cofounded with Wicca Phase aka Adam McIlwee, the ex-singer of Tiger’s Jaw, creating their own hip-hop/emo subgenre that’s seemingly scratching its way to the surface.
Of course, the rapper has a history of sampling from the scene, too—”Crybaby” samples Brand New's “The No Seatbelt Song” from their debut record, Your Favorite Weapon. He samples “Today I Saw The Whole World” from Pierce The Veil's 2016 album Misadventures in “I Crash, U Crash.” Not to mention his sample of Underoath's “Too Bright To See, Too Loud To Hear” from Lost In The Sound Of Seperation in “Hellboy.”
