Lil Peep was described as a "SoundCloud rapper", and his musical style is considered lo-fi rap or emo-trap. The New York Times defined Åhr as the Kurt Cobain of lo-fi rap and described his music as gloomy and diabolically melodic. Åhr's music generally draws on both southern US rap and the angsty introspection of the rock subgenre post-hardcore.
In 2015, Åhr released his first mixtape, Lil Peep Part One, which generated 4,000 plays in its first week. Shortly thereafter, he released his first extended play, Feelz, and another mixtape, Live Forever. In 2016, Åhr released two seminal mixtapes, Crybaby and Hellboy.

LIL PEEP Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll be back in the mornin' (mornin')
I know that I'm not that important to you
But to me, girl, you're so much more than gorgeous (yeah)
So much more than perfect (yeah)
Right now, I know that I'm not really worth it
If you give me time, I can work on it
Give me some time while I work on it
Losin' your patience, and, girl, I don't blame you
The Earth's in rotation, you're waitin' for me
Look at my face when I fuck on your waist
'Cause we only have one conversation a week
That's why your friends always hatin' on me
Fuck 'em though, I did this all by myself
Matter fact, I ain't never asked no one for help
And that's why I don't pick up my phone when it ring
None of my exes is over Lil Peep
Nobody flexin' as much as I be
That's why she text me and tell me she love me
She know that someday I'll be over the sea
Makin' my money and smokin' my weed
I think it's funny, she open up to me
Get comfortable with me, once I got it comin'
I love her, she love me
I know that I'm nothing like someone her family want me to be
If I find a way, would you walk it with me?
Look at my face while you talkin' to me
'Cause we only have one conversation a week
Can I get one conversation at least?
Shout out to everyone makin' my beats
You helpin' me preach
This music's the only thing keepin' the peace when I fall into pieces
Look at the sky tonight
All of the stars have a reason
A reason to shine, a reason like mine
And I'm fallin' to pieces
Look at the sky tonight
All of them stars have a reason
In the song Star Shopping by Lil Peep, the singer is telling his lover to wait for him because he will come back in the morning. He confesses that he knows he may not be important to her, but to him, she is beautiful beyond measure. The singer acknowledges that he is not worth her time at the moment, but if given time, he will work on himself to be a better partner. He recognizes that she is losing patience with him, and he does not blame her for it. The singer then talks about their relationship, how they only have one conversation a week, and her friends hate him for unknown reasons. He goes on to say that he does not care about his exes because they are not her, and his lover knows someday he will be making money and smoking weed overseas. He ends by asking if she would walk with him if he found a way, and he appreciates her for being comfortable with him.
The first verse of the song, "Wait right here, I'll be back in the morning," is a direct reference to Lil Peep's history of drug abuse, particularly his addiction to Xanax. The line "I think it's funny, she open up to me. Get comfortable with me, once I got it comin'." relates to how his fame and wealth eventually came from his music, which provides a way to cope with depression and addiction.
The chorus of the song references the stars in the sky and how they all have a reason to shine, just like the singer, who is also falling apart. The stars represent hope and a reason to keep going, even when things seem bleak. This is reflective of Lil Peep's struggle with mental health and his desire to find a reason to live.
