Yeah, this is just incredibly fucked up.
I’m not at all a fan of Lil Peep’s music, but that doesn’t even matter. 21-year-old kids should not be dying.
It’s tough to blame or point to the mention of drugs in music as a potential cultprit, because hard drugs have been part of that world since it began in the 1950s. I don’t think there’s a problem with rappers singing about using drugs, but it’s a fine line between rapping about “real life” and glorifying self-destruction.
Just sad.
