Starting out as a hip-hop producer at the age of 13, Dapperton made the switch to his current sound after a serious hospitalisation and the failure of his laptop.
Pairing infectious, nostalgia-laden tunes with high-concept filmclips, lauded for their high-concept cinematic execution, has proven to be a recipe for success. Blowing up through 2017, with two EPs dropped, and fans and the press alike taking notice, Dapperton's future looks bright.
I'm Just Snacking

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh, coin and cash for
Poise and panache for
Some broken bachelor, no
She don't want none
Oh gold and gilded
So all them childrenView her with brilliant foes
Pardon for part in my sigh
They see with a similar eye
Honey, I'm whole so what are we snacking for?
"I'm just a whore, boy, it's only natural"
Well I -
Bet we'd look pretty outside
He won't build in
Thrones of vermillion
Whose woes is filled with
Pseudo civilians, no
She won't take up
Colorful patrons
Whose motif plays on
False admiration, no
Pardon for part in my sigh
They see with a similar eye
Honey, I'm whole so what are we snacking for?
"I'm just a whore, boy, it's only natural"
Honey, I'm whole so what are we snacking for?
Well I -

The song "I'm Just Snacking" by Gus Dapperton is a commentary on societal expectations and the pressure to conform. The lyrics speak of two individuals who reject these expectations and are content to be themselves, despite the judgement of others. In the first verse, Dapperton sings about a man who doesn't care for material goods and is not interested in conforming to society's expectations of what a bachelor should be. The second verse describes a woman who is not interested in superficial displays of wealth and doesn't want to associate with those who value it above all else.
The chorus of the song finds Dapperton questioning why people feel the need to conform and make themselves small in the face of society's expectations. He declares himself to be whole and questions why anyone would settle for being a snack, just a small part of something bigger. The woman in the song responds with a sarcastic quip, saying that being a "whore" is only natural, implying that she is judged for being herself by those who don't understand her.
The bridge of the song brings the two characters together, both lamenting the need to apologize for being themselves. They see eye to eye and understand each other's struggles in a world that doesn't accept them.

Imagine if he was doing music during the 80s this guy would be a legend by now.
@ms3fr296
Jenkz 2timez this song and the video have such a 80s style vibe to it. even his clothes and hair are so old school feeling
@bryce5134
If he was in the 80s he'd probably try to replicate the style of the 50s. Some people are just drawn to things that aren't in the mainstream simply for that reason
@katjerouac
No he wouldn't
@jxzn9144
but his music is influenced by the 80s..
@stevenglansburg856
These are the new classics, brother.
