9 | 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. |
10 | |
11 | 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. |
12 | |
13 | 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''. |

24 | ---- |
25 | !!Tropes that apply to Futret: |
26 | * AuthorAvatar: That brown/orange creature seen above is his official [[UsefulNotes/FurryFandom fursona]]. |
27 | * CampGay: The themes of ''Gay Deer World Takeover''. |
28 | * [[{{Dubstep}} Futstep]] |
29 | * 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.'" |
30 | * {{Gayngst}}/ GayAesop: "(More than) Deer to me" |
31 | * GenreShift/ SurprisinglyGentleSong: To the usual electronic and synth, "(More than) Deer to me" was based on vocals and piano. |
32 | * IWantSong: "Stag Night" |
33 | -->''"I WANNA TAKE YOU TO A [[GayBar GAY BAH]]!\ |
34 | I WANNA TAKE YOU TO A GAY BAH!\ |
35 | I WANNA TAKE YOU TO A [[LoopedLyrics GAY BAH, GAY BAH, GAY BAH]]!"'' |
36 | * 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''. |
37 | * MadDoctor: The basis of "Upward Infection", though the man confesses he doesn't actually have a diploma. |
38 | * [[ElectronicMusic Mischiefcore]] |
39 | * MistakenIdentity: There was a confusion about him and some guy claiming to be "Futret" on [=ChristianFur=]. |

41 | * NonAppearingTitle: "Upward Infection" |
42 | * RecurringElement: |
43 | ** His visual art is almost always stylized with the distinctive futura [[UsefulNotes/{{Fonts}} typeface]], which he describes as ''"very [[{{Kawaiiko}} kawaii]]"''. |
44 | ** In addition, he often gives his creatures his trademark set of teeth. |
45 | * {{Sampling}}: Prevalent in a majority of his songs. |
46 | ** 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. |
47 | ** And again with "Stag Night", featuring the vocal track from Electric Six's "GayBar" |
48 | ** ''BALLS OUT MAGIC [MLP​:​FML]'' prominently features audio clips taken from the show. |
49 | ** "Drop it Like Your Mother Got Shot" features audio samples from both ''WesternAnimation/BambiII'' and "Drop it Like Its Hot" by Music/SnoopDogg. |
50 | ** The featured quote from ''Film/{{Troll 2}}'' is used at the beginning of "Delicieux". |
51 | ** "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]]. |
52 | ** The beginning of "Big Biscotti Bucks" uses a vocal sound byte taken from the 1986 version of ''Running Scared''. |
53 | ** The ''HARDEST OUT'' sample is from a local (south London) grime rap group called crem dala crem. |
54 | * SelfDeprecation: He occasionally writes things like [[labelnote:this:]]''"ENJOY THIS TRASH AS IT LEAVES MY LIFE FOR GOOD :^ ) :^ ) :^ )"''[[/labelnote]] on his bandcamp. |
55 | ** And especially on his album ''DON'T EVER PAY MONEY FOR THIS ALBUM [FOR SERIOUS]''[[note]]''\ |

59 | \ |
60 | INCORRECT\ |
61 | \ |
62 | IT DIDNT TAKE A LOT OF TIME TO MAKE THIS IN CASE YOU DIDNT WORK THAT OUT"''[[/note]] |
63 | * {{Slogans}}: A multitude, yet still the same concept: [[labelnote:1:]]\ |
64 | ARE YOU SURE YOU'D RATHER NOT LOOK AT PICTURES OF SOME NICE DEER?\ |
65 | [[/labelnote]] [[labelnote:2:]]\ |
66 | NAH, BRO\ |
67 | I DON'T THINK YOU WANT TO LOOK AT THAT. WHY DON'T YOU SIT BACK, RELAX AND LOOK AT SOME DEER INSTEAD?\ |
68 | [[/labelnote]] [[labelnote:3:]]\ |
69 | HEY, PRINCESS\ |
70 | FINISH YOUR MAYO AND COME LOOK AT SOME NICE DEER\ |
71 | [[/labelnote]] [[labelnote:4:]]\ |
72 | 99% OF THE PEOPLE WHO DECIDED TO LOOK AT NICE PICTURES OF DEER SAID THEY WOULDN'T GO BACK\ |
73 | ARE YOU THE 99%?\ |
74 | [[/labelnote]] |
75 | * 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. |
76 | * StylisticSuck: Most of his work revolves around this, especially since he's partially inspired by Webcomic/SweetBroAndHellaJeff. |
77 | * CoverAlbum: Tribute Album: To ''Fanfic/CupcakesSergeantSprinkles''; and additionally, ''BALLS OUT MAGIC [MLP​:​FML]'' was again dedicated to the fandom. |
