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 ↴
Screamin' on my mind
The head so fine
Make a grown man cry, cry
If I take my time
And replace my crimes
Get my face recognized
Worth remembering
One day I'll be sober too
One day I'll be over you
Screamin' on my mind
The head so fine
Make a grown man cry, cry
If I take my time
And replace my crimes
While I make my rhymes
I can do anything
I can be anything
Anything I wanna be
I can never be a wanna be
