->''HEY, SAUCY STALLION! [[BaitAndSwitch YOU LIKE GOOD TUNES? TOO BAD]]!''

Futret was a character by and handle of South London dubstep/breakcore artist Tom Bennett, who hosts a number of other online-personas. He had produced a few early tracks under the name of alienfingers.

A now deactivated Website/DeviantArt account (now available on [[http://derpiboo.ru/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&sbq=artist%3Anetherlips&commit=Go derpibooru]]) was also run by him under the name of [=NetherLips=]. His art mainly consisted of parodies of ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' characters, which he renders in a style that has been called "marshmallowy {{moe}}-blobs". but also some separate fanart, such as ''Webcomic/SweetBroAndHellaJeff'', and some of his own characters. He had proposed concepts for deer and other furry {{Original Character}}s on his deviantART and ideas for backgrounds, but a full story was never completed in time.

Major inspirations for his music include anime and Japanese culture, Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff-type satirical media, and the UsefulNotes/FurryFandom. He is probably best known for his work with [[Creator/LapfoxTrax Renard Queenston]] on ''GABBERSTÄG'', and in ''Friendship Is Magic'' fandom for his tribute album to ''Fanfic/CupcakesSergeantSprinkles''.

!!Tropes that apply to Futret:
* AuthorAvatar: That brown/orange creature seen above is his official [[UsefulNotes/FurryFandom fursona]].
* CampGay: The themes of ''Gay Deer World Takeover''.
* [[{{Dubstep}} Futstep]]
* GagDub: ''JACKLE APP SHITS AN EGG AT BRONYCON AND ITS PRETTY FUCKIN LAME!!!!!!!!!!'' does this to the ''Series/{{Glee}}'' version of Music/{{Journey|Band}}'s "Don't Stop Believin.'"
* {{Gayngst}}/ GayAesop: "(More than) Deer to me"
* GenreShift/ SurprisinglyGentleSong: To the usual electronic and synth, "(More than) Deer to me" was based on vocals and piano.
* IWantSong: "Stag Night"
-->''"I WANNA TAKE YOU TO A [[GayBar GAY BAH]]!\\
I WANNA TAKE YOU TO A GAY BAH!\\
I WANNA TAKE YOU TO A [[LoopedLyrics GAY BAH, GAY BAH, GAY BAH]]!"''
* LyricalDissonance: "Nerves". The verses are both fast-paced and high-pitched; without paying attention, the lyrics and tune seem fairly happy. But, upon comprehension: The listener realizes that the song is about ''serial killers''.
* MadDoctor: The basis of "Upward Infection", though the man confesses he doesn't actually have a diploma.
* [[ElectronicMusic Mischiefcore]]
* MistakenIdentity: There was a confusion about him and some guy claiming to be "Futret" on [=ChristianFur=].
-->''I DONT OWN A CHRISTIANFUR ACCOUNT, THAT PERSON ISNT ME, SORRY TO DISAPPOINT''
* NonAppearingTitle: "Upward Infection"
* RecurringElement:
** His visual art is almost always stylized with the distinctive futura [[UsefulNotes/{{Fonts}} typeface]], which he describes as ''"very [[{{Kawaiiko}} kawaii]]"''.
** In addition, he often gives his creatures his trademark set of teeth.
* {{Sampling}}: Prevalent in a majority of his songs.
** The vocal tracks from "Nerves" and "Queen of the Night" were both borrowed from that of "Blackest Eyes" by Music/PorcupineTree and the song of the same name by Whitney Houston, respectively.
** And again with "Stag Night", featuring the vocal track from Electric Six's "GayBar"
** ''BALLS OUT MAGIC [MLP​:​FML]'' prominently features audio clips taken from the show.
** "Drop it Like Your Mother Got Shot" features audio samples from both ''WesternAnimation/BambiII'' and "Drop it Like Its Hot" by Music/SnoopDogg.
** The featured quote from ''Film/{{Troll 2}}'' is used at the beginning of "Delicieux".
** "Conté Hit & Run" uses samples by Kakukaku Shikajika, mascot for the eponymous Conte mini-van in Japan; as seen in their [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xyaXLdFwRKE ad]].
** The beginning of "Big Biscotti Bucks" uses a vocal sound byte taken from the 1986 version of ''Running Scared''.
** The ''HARDEST OUT'' sample is from a local (south London) grime rap group called crem dala crem.
* SelfDeprecation: He occasionally writes things like [[labelnote:this:]]''"ENJOY THIS TRASH AS IT LEAVES MY LIFE FOR GOOD :^ ) :^ ) :^ )"''[[/labelnote]] on his bandcamp.
** And especially on his album ''DON'T EVER PAY MONEY FOR THIS ALBUM [FOR SERIOUS]''[[note]]''\\

[[/labelnote]] [[labelnote:4:]]\\
99% OF THE PEOPLE WHO DECIDED TO LOOK AT NICE PICTURES OF DEER SAID THEY WOULDN'T GO BACK\\
ARE YOU THE 99%?\\
[[/labelnote]]
* SpringtimeForHitler: ''DON'T EVER PAY MONEY FOR THIS ALBUM'' was made mainly in response to the [=LegalSounds=].com piracy conflict[[note]](as seen in his Website/{{Tumblr}} [[http://barrymanilowswinternightmare.tumblr.com/post/16491777529/futret-take-the-knot-vakas-lament-new-album post]], and in [[http://stachioed.tumblr.com/post/16495916669/the-first-screenshot-is-from-legalsounds-the another's)[[/note]]]]. Despite the fact, people seemed to still love the album.
* StylisticSuck: Most of his work revolves around this, especially since he's partially inspired by Webcomic/SweetBroAndHellaJeff.
* CoverAlbum: Tribute Album: To ''Fanfic/CupcakesSergeantSprinkles''; and additionally, ''BALLS OUT MAGIC [MLP​:​FML]'' was again dedicated to the fandom.
