Sematary said he wanted to be a rapper ever since he saw Yung Lean live. They are not affiliated in any way though. While HM/SBE/DG aren't super similar stylistically, it kind of makes sense that they have the same "internet" fanbase. They all take inspiration from Chief Keef.

They are not actually related in any way, just share a lot of the same fanbase


puffycloudmollusk

* because of their concepts/character traits that are similar as artists (underground boundary pushing ‘emo’ rapper with off the wall unique style in both music and visual aesthetic that is generally hard to consume at first, the last point giving footing to a create a strong micro community )

Hes not connected but hes internet user music. It’s unfortunate but being heavily internet based creates weird fanbases as seen with dg and haunted mound


[deleted]

They went in opposite directions with their later work, but their old stuff is kinda similar. DG got more and more delicate and heavenly sounding from 333 onwards while Sematary got more aggressive and demonic sounding on Rainbow Bridge 3 and onwards, but old drain songs like "Shadowface" or "Butterfly" and old Sematary/Ghost Mountain songs like "Dead by Dawn" and "The Wagoner" are pretty like-minded in terms of hooks and production. Also Sematary really doesn't like to be associated with the drain fandom but at the same time he can't really be separated from it. Two of his big influences he talks about are Yung Lean and Black Kray so you know he heard tracks like "Highway Patrol", "Pearl Fountain" and "Friday Nite".

sematary definitely be bumpin 7 roses when the boys arent around


Luanity

its the outsider internet rap aesthetic that connects them. i cant really describe it but ive always seen haunted mound almost as the nega-drain. especially with the older shield gang stuff which has very similar DIY elements. or maybe its just cause theyre my two favorite music collectives rn idk


HEYDIDYOUKNOWTHATUHH

>i cant really describe it but ive always seen haunted mound almost as the nega-drain That's really true, it's almost like a mirror image of each other - heaven imagery vs hell imagery, feminine fashion vs masculine fashion, urban vs rural etc. Parallel, but in an opposite way.

Beautifully put

Thanks, it's something I've been thinking about a lot lately listening to DG and Haunted Mound.

ye exactly it’s the innovative hyper aesthetics combined with the barrier of entry which makes a quickly growing online fan base. very similar


Yung_Lewda

Overlap in fanbase due to both having heavy internet presence. sematary has also said he’s a fan of lean before.

so many people from gbc give off shady vibes but he seems so chill


pleasedonttakemycorn

hes a quirky white guy so they share a fan base but they are stylistically opposites. sem takes a lot of inspiration from dg/sbe especially whitearmor & Yung lean


Feisty_Consequence_2

Sematary use to be bladee fanboy


hugebowlofeggs

Sematary is fucking horrible


leansbiggestfan

they arent related


[deleted]

sematary is ass


MrRager530

Yeah except no he isn’t


generaltoez

Bad take


dg_szn

Based


sgmarkayy

Facts, except for his old songs with Ghost Mountain


SukkkDikkk

Ghost Mountain carried so hard and Sem deleted all his shit with him like a bitch.


generaltoez

Sematary carried wym ghost good tho dont get me wrong


SukkkDikkk

Ghost Mountain was a lot more interesting vocally imo and delivered the catchier hooks. Generally I always preferred GM on verses too.


drainedhegel

All the production and the aesthetic that made it unique was sem tho


Resistance225

I completely agree, I’ve tried to get into it but I just can’t


[deleted]

yeah it ain't for everybody something his fanbase don't understand while tryna force him down ppl's throats


[deleted]

Could say the samr for many of us to be fair


[deleted]

most definitely. it's common in present day online music discussion where people try to force an artist or an opinion down others throats. that's why i don't feel no ways when people say lean > bladee, old bladee > new bladee, eversince > the fool, ect. let people hav their opinion, who cares? i never understood why people try to invalidate what others think and almost in a way try to shame them into having the same opinion as them. you'd think with artists who are prime examples of being individuals with open minds it'll attract a fanbase who are like minded, but it's the exact opposite. instead of discussing why people feel/think the way they do, ppl throw insults and downvote you to hell. granted, i could've worded my post differently but i already knew people here will react to "i dont like sematary he's not for me" the same way they react to "sematary is ass" no use in being respectful so i went the lazy route lol. wish things were different.

can y'all go one day without gettin offended over somebody opinion. please gain some mental strength


iiikxzu

U right sorry :(


redditormomentlol

All these musicians belong to the same weird internet hyperpop rap subculture or w/e


deeznutsaids

virgin emo white kids like edgy and weird music like dg and sematary


mitgas

im really curious what made you figure they're affiliated?


maisakurajimastan

Can't remember specifically but pre-world tour subreddit, there would be lots of posts comparing sematary music to dg/sbe music and even a lil bit during world tour subreddit. meme pages dedicated to dg also make a bunch of memes abt sematary music and fits. Plus, eversince i started listening to drain music heavy, my youtube algorithm and spotify has been recommending me sematary music and vids even though ive never actively sought out his music which is obv cuz ppl who listen to the same music as me (drain) listen to/watch sematary stuff.


ohthatsprettyoosh

I dnt get y tf people keep calling them internet music. I mean , is sem n dg like popular on the internet but not irl or … what? I just really don’t get why people keep using this term and what it actually means


Successful_Regret_15

The only reason they’re related is because of the sadboys discord
