Gustav Elijah Åhr (November 1, 1996 - November 15, 2017), better known under the stage name Lil Peep (often stylized as [=LiL=] PEEP) was an American rapper, singer-songwriter, and model. He was a member of the collective Gothboiclique, and arguably their most popular member.

Although Peep was an active artist for only three years, [[ShortLivedBigImpact the extents of his acclaim and influence are vast]]. He is hailed as a [[TropeMaker pioneer]] of the "emo rap" scene within the mid-to-late [=2010s=] "[=SoundCloud=] rap" movement, having a great influence on the subgenre's sound and cultural influence, which extended across numerous youth subcultures. At its most fundamental level, the subgenre [[GenreMashup fuses]] the hard beats of [[HipHop hip-hop]] and {{trap|Music}} with the musicality and songwriting of {{emo|Music}}.

He began releasing music on [=SoundCloud=] in 2014, deriving "Peep" for his name from an AffectionateNickname his mother had given him. After amassing popularity on the platform for several mixtapes and collaborations with fellow rapper Lil Tracy, he broke out into the mainstream with his ''Hellboy'' mixtape, which led him to do his first US solo tour.
