Music: Futret

HEY, SAUCY STALLION! YOU LIKE GOOD TUNES? TOO BAD!
—(former) Tagline on his bandcamp

"My ears are bleeding in the best way."
justice9000note , on "Conté Hit & Run"

Futret, a character by NetherLips, formerly known as "alienfingers", is an eccentric fellow from London specializing in Electronic Music who has a style of being both incredibly bizarre and awesome at the same time.

He is probably best known for his work with Renard Queenston on GABBERSTÄG, and in My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic fandom for his tribute album to Cupcakes.

Released albums:

  • Cupcakes (June - 2011)
  • SYNAPSE (August - 2011)
  • Gay Deer World Takeover - the Antlerfabulous EP (December - 2011)

  • BALLS OUT MAGIC [MLP​:​FML] (February 2012)
  • ULTIMATE FUTRACKS 2012 VOL​.​3: MEDIAFIRE TROJAN VIRUS (07 April 2012)

Tropes that apply to Futret:

  • Author Avatar: That brown/orange creature seen above is his official fursona.
  • Camp Gay: The themes of Gay Deer World Takeover.
  • Cloudcuckoolander
  • Futstep
  • Gag Dub: ''JACKLE APP SHITS AN EGG AT BRONYCON AND ITS PRETTY FUCKIN LAME!!!!!!!!!!'' does this to Journey's "Don't Stop Believin.'"
  • Gayngst/ Gay Aesop: "(More than) Deer to me"
  • Genre Shift/ Surprisingly Gentle Song: To the usual electronic and synth, "(More than) Deer to me" was based on vocals and piano.
  • "I Want" Song: "Stag Night"
    "I WANNA TAKE YOU TO A GAY BAH!
    I WANNA TAKE YOU TO A GAY BAH!
    I WANNA TAKE YOU TO A GAY BAH, GAY BAH, GAY BAH!"
  • Long Title: AUGH SO MANY
  • Lyrical Dissonance: "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.
  • Mad Doctor: The basis of "Upward Infection", though the man confesses he doesn't actually have a diploma.
  • Mischiefcore
  • Name's the Same/ Mistaken Identity: 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

  • Recurring Element: His visual art is almost always stylized with the distinctive futura typeface, which he describes as "very kawaii".

  • Musical Satire
  • Self-Deprecation: He occasionally writes things like this:  on his bandcamp.
    • And especially on his album DON'T EVER PAY MONEY FOR THIS ALBUM [FOR SERIOUS]note 
  • Slogans: A multitude, yet still the same concept: 1:  2:  3:  4: 
  • Springtime for Hitler: DON'T EVER PAY MONEY FOR THIS ALBUM was made mainly in response to the LegalSounds.com piracy conflictnote . Despite the fact, people seemed to still love the album.
  • Stylistic Suck: Most of his work revolves around this, especially since he's partially inspired by Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff.
  • Tribute Album: To Cupcakes; and additionally, BALLS OUT MAGIC [MLP​:​FML] was again dedicated to the fandom.
  • What Could Have Been: Futret had originally been conceived as a grindcore project.
