Semi-protected edit request on 15 September 2018

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Mention should probably be made somewhere (perhaps in the opening blurb) of Peep's name being stylized as "LiL PEEP." This stylizing was used on a lot of his earlier projects, though Come Over When You're Sober Pt. 1 and other newer releases seem to elect to leave his name as simply "Lil Peep." - LesStudios (talk) 22:45, 15 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@LesStudios: can you please provide a reference to back this up? --DannyS712 (talk) 03:04, 6 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

(Once you do, feel free to change the "answered" parameter of the {{edit semi-protected}} to "no," but for now I am setting it as answered so that it no longer appears under the requested edits --DannyS712 (talk) 03:11, 6 October 2018 (UTC))[reply]

Genres

So with the edit war that was going on regarding the genres, I think we should clear things up here to avoid taking it any further. I definitely think rap rock and emo pop should at least be considered as additions. There isn't many sources or reviews in general for Peep's music so we are limited on sources. His album was labeled as rap rock in a review but I saw on the talk page that this wasn't a good enough reason to add the genre. Although I do understand that, that album is nowhere near the only music of his that can be considered that genre, despite the lack of sources labeling his music. I think anyone who listens to peep even a little bit can agree with this. Now for emo pop, while its not the genre he makes the most, I would argue that a good amount of his music can fall under that category. For example, "Spotlight", "Falling Down/Sunlight on your Skin", "Yesterday", "Big City Blues", "The Brightside", "Awful Things", etc. --Sromero78 (talk) 05:50, 16 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Uf anything, it would be Alt. Emo not Emo Pop, Spotlight is the exception here but that's also a remix and not the original song, so even then it still probably falls under 'Hip-Hop/Rap' more than Emo Pop. GOTHANGELSINNER (talk) 22:04, 18 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Rap-Rock

Stop the edit war, lil peep isnt an album, therefore he isn’t rap rock EveryonesFAVORITE*toy (talk) 04:12, 17 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Lil Peep's only notable recording is his album. He is dead. He will not record any new material and any unreleased material will not be substantially different. Therefore, he is the album. dannymusiceditor ^oops 04:18, 17 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Pitchfork uses him as the leading example of a rap rock artist taking part in the recent resurgence. Binksternet (talk) 04:24, 17 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
