Btw I’m gonna be 41 in two weeks and I love Peep. He has a small set of older fans who can appreciate his talent. He was a beautiful boy who would have been huge if he hadn’t been taken too soon. It breaks my heart
People are judging him for being a druggy when in reality he was a shy, innocent, socially awkward young man trying to make it through life. Like his mom said at his service, you cannot judge a person by their appearance
@@michaelaxx8149 Of course not. But for you this is a great way to help you to to rule out shallow and prejudiced people in no time. If someone reacts in a negative way based on a look at your tattoes, you know what to think about this person. People without tattoos or similar characteristics sometimes waste half of their lifetime on persons just to finally find out that their partners, friends, coworkers are shallow, hypocrite or even narcissistic people. Might be a real advantage to look a bit different, sometimes. Take care. 🙂
@@TVC15ohoh You answered your own question: "TO ME..." This is NOT about you. A person chooses different ways to express themselves. Expand your thinking beyond your senses. Appreciate that others express themselves as they choose. How on earth does someone else's body art, fashion statement/sense, etc., affect you in the slightest?. Yes, you have the right not to like someone else's sense of style but you don't have the right to tell them what is too much or too little.
Peep is not a vulnerable narcissist.. couldn't be farther from the truth. One of the key characteristics is that they take more than they receive, but peep was extremely selfless and would often pay for his friend's expenses so that they could all continue making music together even though peep was clearly the most talented.

I'm 20 now so I'm still young but I'm a lot more content with my life now. I think it has a lot to do with the individual and how they interpret his music.
Vulnerable narcissism is difficult because it’s different than outward, people pleasing is one of the worst symptoms of it sadly. Many vulnerable narcissists are seen by many as the nicest and most generous people you meet, until you hurt them and get devalued. So damn complex

What kills me is that Peep was by all accounts a good guy - so many people in the industry suffering from substance abuse lash out at others and apparently that just wasn't his style - he even ended up ending his professional friendship with XXXTentacion because of the serious abuse that XXX was alleged to have committed. If there's anyone from the "emo rap" scene who ought to still be around, it's Peep.

One of his lesser known friends said there was a time at his house where it was full of people and he was just kinda hiding out in the corner away from everyone, and the friend asked "are you ok? do you want me to tell everyone to leave?' peeps face immediately went from anxious to relieved and answered "yes bro, please!".. he could never be "mean" enough to do it himself. knowing this, it's easy to see how all these "friends" ended up on HIS tour.. he was trying to get them exposure and help them out.... funny because when HE needed help, they were absurdly negligent at best, but possibly willfully unhelpful. there's a particular labelmate that's been HIGHLY suspected as playing a big role in his death- after all, he's the one who *knowingly supplied peep with LACED roxicets*... when this"friend" was told peep couldn't be woken up, he said " that's whack"and didn't even get out of his seat outside of the bus. peep was completely unmoved & not checked on for AT LEAST 4 hours that we know of - it can even be seen in various peoples pictures/videos throughout those hours(in the background)... & his "friend" KNEW what he had given him.. he didn't take any himself bc he knew that they were laced..

Him being younger than me and being dead makes me really angry. I wasn't even a fan of his, but he had less life than me and I'm only 25. Fuck drugs they destroy lives.
Drugs can destroy life, but they can also save life. Lets put the blame where it rightfully lies. At the feet of a loser drug addiction with self control issues who cleary went way to far. He either commited suicide or he was super tarded to think this would end well. Like holy crap thats a drug cocktail.
I’d never heard of him until I saw a video of his friend finding him dead on their tour bus. So I started to listen and was impressed. His music wasn’t phenomenal, but his lyrics were really amazing-like pretty poems. I feel sorry for him that he had so much just about to happen, but died because of some stupid stuff.

@@davidpetersen1 I am 47 and my favorite song by this artist is Falling Down. The version by Lil Peep and XXXTentacion is the best. Please have a listen, if you have not previously. It is really well done. Beautiful.
Good idea to remember people in every walk of life are dealing with issues like this. Always heartbreaking when anyone loses *themselves* to drugs, then, ultimately, their lives. RIP Lil Peep, and the numerous others who lost their lives to drug addiction and/or mental issues. They often go hand in hand. Thank you, Dr. Grande, for shedding more light on this most serious subject. 😔
What a dam shame. I had never heard of this guy before, I think I must live in a different world! Lil Peep, my heart hurts hearing this sad, sad story. I can relate to his pain, from very young I was having accidents, going to the hospital and somehow different from my peers. Breaking things, loosing them, always covered in paint, even when it wasn’t art. “What’s Caroline done now” we’re words I’d hear so often. “Caroline must try harder”, I was always doing my best. At nine my parents were called into school because I was always covered in bruises, they thought I was being abused at home instead I nearly got tested for dysphasia. By the time 13 arrived I hated myself so much I wanted to be dead. Then I found drugs and alcohol thinking with them too came the solution to my deep-self hatred. Instead though I hadn’t take a cross off from around my neck, one of mental health problems, I had actually draped another equally heavy weight to carry, that of addiction. It is people like Lil Peep who I am dedicating the rest of my life to helping, to make amends for the huge, unknown quantity of damage I have done during my 25 years in addiction. To make a difference at that critical time in young people’s lives who have mental health problems and are at the same crossroads that me and Lil Peep were at, where we both went the wrong way, convinced at the time we were going the right way, that drugs and alcohol were the answers to our pain. Rest in Peace Lil Peep 🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈.
@@michelebergman4336 SO DOES LIVING THROUGH HORRIFIC PARENTAL CHILD ABUSE. So perhaps, if you could muster up a little compassion and a bit more knowledge of the unknown, is in order..... before you start yelling at strangers in type lol
I'm 37 have dealt w mental illness and addiction my whole life for me it's very personal (the music) because in every song I would hear things and say oh this dude is my people he's speaking my language....rest in peace peep 💘
This all sounds very familiar. For 22 years I ran a group home for men dealing with Substance Use Disorder and other serious mental illness. I also lived there. In nearly all cases they started using drugs or alcohol because they gave immediate relief from their mental illness. The problem, as you point out, was that the substance use made their other mental health symptoms worse rather than better over the long haul.
@@Pinkflamingo138 you're welcome! :) honestly such a cool decision for a tattoo. Divine is such a badass bitch lol.

Ill find a way to watch it someday..*fingers crossed*😆🤞
A lot of people with mental health problems self medicate with drugs/alcohol, which does not just add another problem but makes it impossible to treat the first one effectively. It's even worse w/young people, since both the drugs themselves and the fact of being intoxicated so much of the time & learning to "solve" life's problems w/drugs affects their still developing brains negatively
@@rushyy8765 he actually did have anxiety lots of it thats why he kept popping pills you probably don’t know much about juice Wrld or listed to his lyrics or watched the interviews which he talked about what has happened in his life it wasn’t just a breakup
My daughter was depressed during HS. I tried to relate.... I gave her Stephen Kings "GUIDE TO WRITING". She really related to the book and ended up EDITOR of her HS newspaper. I alone cannot take the credit. The teacher(s) she encountered took her to the next level. Now she is a successful and productive member of society. Blessings to those that may be a touchstone.

@@michaelaxx8149 tats are not bad. His were a bit, not over done, so much as not attractive. I've seen people head to toe with art. I wouldn't for many reasons, but I don't find it cold or ugly.
@@michaelaxx8149 I believe he was specifically talking about face tattoos, not tattoos in general. There are tons of people out there who have tattoos and wouldn’t dare put one on their face b/c they know it puts professional opportunities in jeopardy. This is just how it is. And let’s be honest...face tattoos are tacky af. Come at me bro if anyone disagrees.
Your openness will be your blessing--Get a good doctor, get help with the addiction too. Your life doesn't have to mimic Peep's. Please don't let it; i bet you are a sensitive soul. You deserve a good life--work toward that
I just watched the documentary on him. It was so sad. He literally did get the face tattoo because he never wanted a regular job. I guess Im the only one who watched the doc.
I'm a 60 year old gay white man from the suburbs, and just discovered Peep. He could have easily been as big as Kurt Cobain had he not been taken from us. I listen to his music all day while at work, and never tire of it. He was a genius. RIP Gus, you'll live in all our hearts through your music.
oooooh Trent would be taken apaaaart by Dr. Grande. He does noooot like narcissists 😬 But i'd be very interested in his opinion about the music. Like other popular music he might not like it (and i'd actually say: get it) aaat all. I feel like i'd end up upset. So let's not. Love Dr. Grande, love NIN, Trent is a genious and a picturebook narcissist, let's move on 🤣
Well, on the other hand he has an incredibly interesting relationship with substance abuse disorder (specifically cocaine) and his story of overcoming that addiction through his music is actually kind of the opposite of what we see with Lil Peep.
Great video as usual. You should consider doing a video on Tom Hagen. He is a Norwegian multi-millionaire who is accused of murdering his wife. He narrated a fake kidnapping by sending himself letters demanding millions of dollars in cryptocurrency but the police saw through that since there were found divorce papers from the wife and femicide is although not that uncommon.
I always gotta give Grande vids a "Lil Peep!" Since you're in the realm of musicians, MF DOOM might be an interesting one since he's led such an interesting life! Other Suggestions that I'd like to see: Louis Bloom from the movie "Night Crawler" Earnest Hemingway
I especially like your comment at the end about artists who perhaps intend for their work to have a direct message and not a meaning on another plane. That’s really important to consider and pay closer attention to.
Not necessarily. Drugs stick around in your system for quite a while. They were not all taken at once and would have been present in his system in different quantities.
Hi Dr. Grande ~ this is Gina from the SF Bay Area. I enjoyed watching this video very much. What I really like about your work is how detailed and informative you are about your subject. I can tell a lot of research went into it and that extra effort really shines through. Happy New Year!
@@MsBenchman No one ever played their own death like a prank quite like Andy..going out as a pro wrestling heel wrestling women..at that point he knew he was dying.Ultimate kayfabe.
I really connected with Lil peeps music just after he passed away. I had experienced PTSD symptoms due to emotional trauma. I don't quite know what it was that connected me with his music, I think it was the atmosphere that it created. His music felt like a warm blanket that could stop the shivers, even if it was just for a while. I thought the lyrics excessively spoke about drug use and it helped me understand how drugs only made things worse (although in the short term they may appear to help). I was never a drug user myself. except a couple of beers here and there. I think the lyrics could have been anything and I would have enjoyed it. Over a year later, I still feel the quivering in my heart to a slight degree that my PTSD symptoms were real, but that they are almost gone. The position I am now is far far away from the position I was in when I was enjoying Lil Peeps music, I don't enjoy his music like I once did. His music helped me feel validated during a rough time, while I still appreciate it for what it did for me; I have moved onto different music. I've more or less moved away from rap and am back to things like My Bloody Valentine, The Cure, Slowdive and other popular 80-90's groups. Appreciate the video, Dr Grande.
Gonna go listen to some lil peep after this. I would have never listened to him if it weren't for my little cousin. Super surprisingly i liked his music. Great vid Doc as always, thx for this one. Gonna share it with my little cousin I'm sure he will like it and my hope is he subscribes to you after watching 👍✌ Just wanted to add his music reminds me of my teenage yrs so I guess I not too surprised at the fact I enjoyed some of it. My little cousin had alot of similarities to peep also. The music, the drugs. He has stopped with the xanax all together and now only does marijuana. So many kids of my cousins generation share alot of similarities with peep, I think we should definitely be on the offensive with this. Just my opinion, because I thought my generation was messed up but they seem to be surpassing us in many ways. All negative. Saddens me to think of how these kids don't seem to be getting much in the way of education on positive things. I see spoiled, excuse making, no responsibility taking kids that honestly seem to be learning it all from their parents. Idk really that's just my perception on the subject. Light handed opinion honestly.
Very intelligent comment. Good luck to your cousin and peers. I agree, offense is needed. It's difficult, but necessary. Once a person gets addicted to drugs and/or alcohol, it's a lifelong struggle. 💔
Rest In Peace Lil Peep! My niece loves his music, and so do I! He was an extremely talented singer and song writer, I am amazed he wrote so many songs in such a short time, his music is truly beautiful and timeless, such a shame he is gone too soon!
These were really some profound thoughts shared here. The thing is...people still do what makes them feel good; even when they are aware that it's an unhealthy coping mechanism & the escape is temporary. So many legendary artists have lost their lives due to associations of drug use & it always baffles me how the people around them react following their demise. Always appreciate your insightful thoughts doc! One can only hope they're considered.
My daughter loves his music a lot. Thankfully she was recently diagnosed as bipolar after having lots of problems with drugs. She’s on medication and doing better. She identified very much with this artists music and I did see that among other things as a call for help.
I always enjoy having a little peep at your informative-yet-entertaining videos, Dr. Grande -- and this one is no exception. I think it was Oscar Wilde who remarked that youth is wasted on the young. Add to that the vapid nature of popular culture, its penchant for promoting instant, outward gratification and you've got a recipe for disappointment, disenchantment and general dysfunction. It's vacuous, and full of empty promise and yet so alluring to so many.
So happy to stumble across Dr. G, subscribed and bingeing, loving the quick, dry wit commentary. This is probably the most somber one I've seen, as some of them, I've really bust a gut, laughter, but, this is, a very sad subject, and thus deserves the compassionate effect it's given.
Please! My step kids love juice world and listen to it a lot at their moms. We dont allow it at our house bc it is all about suicide and pills. Its very concerning to my husband and i but we ha e no say in what they can do at their moms.
No way! PURE awesomeness Dr.Grande, I love your channel and choice of people you choose to analyze while incorporating mental health topics. Keep up the great work.
Dr. Grade you sure did make a complete analysis with what you had to work with about the mental health and personality factors that may or may not have been at work in the death of Gustav Ahr followed by comments about what professionals working in any human service role can learn from the case in order to help make their services student, client and patient centered. I hope all of us can prevent another generation from being labelled something like the lost generation like that generation who grew up during world war 1.

Not quite. Å isn't pronounced like an English O.
@@Chris-wj4ze Imagine the "a" in the english word "all", and then you are as close as you can come to the Swedish Å...
The pronunciation of Åhr is similar to “oar” (as in a boat oar) or “ore” (as in iron ore).
As we say in swedish: "å i åa ä e ö", meaning: "and in the creek there is an island"
My 18 yr. old son loved him. Great analogy about the teacher/student. So true.
Dr. Grande is my favorite ytuber after Norbert the dog.
This was such a sad one. 😔
Omgosh!! Thank you!! I knew you would ❤️ I'm 56 and I love Peep. This just made my day, Dr. Grande. 🤗
good on you!
Him being younger than me and being dead makes me really angry. I wasn't even a fan of his, but he had less life than me and I'm only 25. Fuck drugs they destroy lives.
Alcohol too if you consume enough!
Made me angry, also. And sad.

Drugs can destroy life, but they can also save life. Lets put the blame where it rightfully lies. At the feet of a loser drug addiction with self control issues who cleary went way to far.
He either commited suicide or he was super tarded to think this would end well. Like holy crap thats a drug cocktail.
I’d never heard of him until I saw a video of his friend finding him dead on their tour bus. So I started to listen and was impressed. His music wasn’t phenomenal, but his lyrics were really amazing-like pretty poems. I feel sorry for him that he had so much just about to happen, but died because of some stupid stuff.
Drug addiction is a deadly cycle so many people get stuck in. Sad.
@@JustDr.S so true I've been there luckily I opened my eyes and realized that there was more to life
@@rebeccamarrujo3849 That makes me so happy to hear! I wish you continued good health, much happiness, and good luck on you're life's journey. Second chances can bring great things! ❤❤❤

@@davidpetersen1 I am 47 and my favorite song by this artist is Falling Down. The version by Lil Peep and XXXTentacion is the best. Please have a listen, if you have not previously. It is really well done. Beautiful.
Do one about Tupac. He seemed pretty paranoid about being betrayed and murdered (but... With some reason)
You're not paranoid if somebody IS out to get you.
His parents were Black Panthers so he saw some stuff as the kids say
He’s still alive
Seems it wasn't paranoia
so was JFK apparently towards the end he predicted the methods of murder for both himself and his brother

Good idea to remember people in every walk of life are dealing with issues like this. Always heartbreaking when anyone loses *themselves* to drugs, then, ultimately, their lives. RIP Lil Peep, and the numerous others who lost their lives to drug addiction and/or mental issues. They often go hand in hand. Thank you, Dr. Grande, for shedding more light on this most serious subject. 😔
Mac Miller next ?
pleeeeeease
Yeeeeesssss pls
Yes
Yes
Yes!!
What a dam shame. I had never heard of this guy before, I think I must live in a different world! Lil Peep, my heart hurts hearing this sad, sad story. I can relate to his pain, from very young I was having accidents, going to the hospital and somehow different from my peers. Breaking things, loosing them, always covered in paint, even when it wasn’t art. “What’s Caroline done now” we’re words I’d hear so often. “Caroline must try harder”, I was always doing my best. At nine my parents were called into school because I was always covered in bruises, they thought I was being abused at home instead I nearly got tested for dysphasia. By the time 13 arrived I hated myself so much I wanted to be dead. Then I found drugs and alcohol thinking with them too came the solution to my deep-self hatred. Instead though I hadn’t take a cross off from around my neck, one of mental health problems, I had actually draped another equally heavy weight to carry, that of addiction. It is people like Lil Peep who I am dedicating the rest of my life to helping, to make amends for the huge, unknown quantity of damage I have done during my 25 years in addiction. To make a difference at that critical time in young people’s lives who have mental health problems and are at the same crossroads that me and Lil Peep were at, where we both went the wrong way, convinced at the time we were going the right way, that drugs and alcohol were the answers to our pain.
Rest in Peace Lil Peep 🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈.
"These aren't the droids you're looking for..." hilarious.
Never thought this video would be made. My excitement is immeasurable. Thank you!

I'm 37 have dealt w mental illness and addiction my whole life for me it's very personal (the music) because in every song I would hear things and say oh this dude is my people he's speaking my language....rest in peace peep 💘
he deserved a lot better.. just another young soul reaching out to a dying light for help
Out of all these “lil” artists lil peep was the greatest. Lil Peep’s track High School is a masterpiece. It’s very unfortunate he passed.
So I guess fuck lil Wayne then lol
No that would be Lil B the based god.
This dude just said that peep was better than wayne LMFAO
Eh not necessarily the greatest but he’s definitely up there
Masterpiece?? You must have extremely low standards
This all sounds very familiar. For 22 years I ran a group home for men dealing with Substance Use Disorder and other serious mental illness. I also lived there. In nearly all cases they started using drugs or alcohol because they gave immediate relief from their mental illness. The problem, as you point out, was that the substance use made their other mental health symptoms worse rather than better over the long haul.
I just found this channel a few days ago and have been addicted. Dude covers EVERYONE!
Thank you Dr. Grande. This has to be my favorite analysis to date. As a Peep fan I was very sad to discover his music due to his young death.
Omg!! I’ve been waiting for this
Nice picture and name :D i've always wanted to see that movie!

Ill find a way to watch it someday..*fingers crossed*😆🤞
@@user-ut4hp9fr9b I just own most of John Waters movies on DVD. I guess I didn’t think about having to stream them. I hope you get to watch it!
Breaks my heart, Gus deserved such a long life. I miss watching him and his music evolve.
Damn Dr Grande!!! You are so prolific🙂. Your analysis at the end was really sad.
A lot of people with mental health problems self medicate with drugs/alcohol, which does not just add another problem but makes it impossible to treat the first one effectively. It's even worse w/young people, since both the drugs themselves and the fact of being intoxicated so much of the time & learning to "solve" life's problems w/drugs affects their still developing brains negatively
You should do one about Juice WRLD!
What for? If that was the case he should do one for every rapper ever
@@rushyy8765 he should
@@xalozz7477 for what? He had a break up which made him sad case closed. There was no mental health problems other then like anxiety I’m certain
@@rushyy8765 he actually did have anxiety lots of it thats why he kept popping pills you probably don’t know much about juice Wrld or listed to his lyrics or watched the interviews which he talked about what has happened in his life it wasn’t just a breakup

My daughter was depressed during HS. I tried to relate.... I gave her Stephen Kings "GUIDE TO WRITING". She really related to the book and ended up EDITOR of her HS newspaper. I alone cannot take the credit. The teacher(s) she encountered took her to the next level. Now she is a successful and productive member of society. Blessings to those that may be a touchstone.

I don’t know if I’m too old or too European that I’ve never heard of him 😕 But I have heard of Dr Grande and that’s what is important round here 😅
LMAO not missing much!
Yes I am too old and too European. Never heard of the poor chap.
I’ve never heard of him either.
Listen to Sunlight on your skin, just to say you have listened to one of his songs
Probably if you are over 20.
This particular analysis was warm, and, I believe, coming from a family of addictive and depressed people, dead on. Thank you.
Great comment. Celebrities are not the only ones dealing with this. Thanks for that reminder. ❤
@@michaelaxx8149 tats are not bad. His were a bit, not over done, so much as not attractive. I've seen people head to toe with art. I wouldn't for many reasons, but I don't find it cold or ugly.
@@michaelaxx8149 I believe he was specifically talking about face tattoos, not tattoos in general. There are tons of people out there who have tattoos and wouldn’t dare put one on their face b/c they know it puts professional opportunities in jeopardy. This is just how it is. And let’s be honest...face tattoos are tacky af. Come at me bro if anyone disagrees.
never thought i'd see Dr. Grande analyzing Lil Peep
love it
Jeeeez all those drugs at once I can’t imagine
It's do able with the right dosages
Tolerance.
One is never enough over time.. and even then...... you gotta move onto the harder stuff. 💔
The amount of drugs he had in his system is staggering!
I had never heard of this young man or the subculture he was part of. It is heartbreaking that he lost his life.
I’ve never heard of him. But I always learn something new, watching your videos
This was difficult to watch as someone on the autism spectrum struggling with depression, anxiety and addiction 😞
Your openness will be your blessing--Get a good doctor, get help with the addiction too. Your life doesn't have to mimic Peep's. Please don't let it; i bet you are a sensitive soul. You deserve a good life--work toward that
Keep fighting the good fight brother!
I feel you, but hey I'm 30 and still around... you'll be good if you fight for life.
Many blessings sensitive soul.
I just watched the documentary on him. It was so sad. He literally did get the face tattoo because he never wanted a regular job. I guess Im the only one who watched the doc.
I did.
sadly the documentary is just a cover up of what really happened...
@@ijuyem That's not the only documentary to do that.
He was murdered
I watched it too
I'm a 60 year old gay white man from the suburbs, and just discovered Peep. He could have easily been as big as Kurt Cobain had he not been taken from us. I listen to his music all day while at work, and never tire of it. He was a genius. RIP Gus, you'll live in all our hearts through your music.
Love this comment
I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on Trent Reznor from NIN.
His story has always captivated me from a mental-health perspective.
oooooh Trent would be taken apaaaart by Dr. Grande. He does noooot like narcissists 😬 But i'd be very interested in his opinion about the music. Like other popular music he might not like it (and i'd actually say: get it) aaat all. I feel like i'd end up upset. So let's not. Love Dr. Grande, love NIN, Trent is a genious and a picturebook narcissist, let's move on 🤣
@@surfingthedarkness I agree
Well, on the other hand he has an incredibly interesting relationship with substance abuse disorder (specifically cocaine) and his story of overcoming that addiction through his music is actually kind of the opposite of what we see with Lil Peep.
Great video as usual. You should consider doing a video on Tom Hagen. He is a Norwegian multi-millionaire who is accused of murdering his wife. He narrated a fake kidnapping by sending himself letters demanding millions of dollars in cryptocurrency but the police saw through that since there were found divorce papers from the wife and femicide is although not that uncommon.
As a big peep fan, this makes me happy to see people respecting him. Thank you for this
I always gotta give Grande vids a "Lil Peep!"
Since you're in the realm of musicians, MF DOOM might be an interesting one since he's led such an interesting life!
Other Suggestions that I'd like to see:
Louis Bloom from the movie "Night Crawler"
Earnest Hemingway
🤣🤣🤣
I especially like your comment at the end about artists who perhaps intend for their work to have a direct message and not a meaning on another plane. That’s really important to consider and pay closer attention to.
Thank you Dr Grande! I’ve been waiting and hoping for this episode!
Thank you again, Dr Grande. I love that there’s no judgement and so much compassion for this young man.
Do Chester Bennington or Chris Cornell next if you can, doc.
Dude literally took ALL of the drugs at once.
@Fl studio mobile remake. he didnt hes just addicted
@Fl studio mobile remake. Didnt change the fact that he addicted
He was so depressed going on that tour. Watch his documentary on netflix.
Not necessarily. Drugs stick around in your system for quite a while. They were not all taken at once and would have been present in his system in different quantities.
@Fl studio mobile remake. he didnt wanna die stop spreading bullshit
I like stand up, but damn those sit downs are hilarious.
You should do a profile of R Kelly- open that can of worms
😂😂
Can you cover Rachel Dolezal?
Very insightful. I love how you handled this and spoke of this young man.
Please continue covering these young hiphop / rap artists deaths. Juicewrld and King Von are two more examples. I really appreciate your insight.
I loved him, I’m so happy you made this video. RIP Lil Peep 🥺
I was binging your vids and a new one appeared. Yay!
Gotta love drinking from a firehose of Grande vids!🔥👍

This has to be satire lol

Very sad topic, but very also quite common. Unfortunately.
Hi Dr. Grande ~ this is Gina from the SF Bay Area. I enjoyed watching this video very much. What I really like about your work is how detailed and informative you are about your subject. I can tell a lot of research went into it and that extra effort really shines through. Happy New Year!
Please cover Andy Kaufman, thanks Dr. Grande.
Nice idea
Yes please. I was a big fan! When his death was announced, I thought it was another one of his jokes. 😢
@@MsBenchman No one ever played their own death like a prank quite like Andy..going out as a pro wrestling heel wrestling women..at that point he knew he was dying.Ultimate kayfabe.
@@MsBenchman His Elvis impersonation was awesome. What a character.
I really connected with Lil peeps music just after he passed away. I had experienced PTSD symptoms due to emotional trauma. I don't quite know what it was that connected me with his music, I think it was the atmosphere that it created. His music felt like a warm blanket that could stop the shivers, even if it was just for a while. I thought the lyrics excessively spoke about drug use and it helped me understand how drugs only made things worse (although in the short term they may appear to help). I was never a drug user myself. except a couple of beers here and there. I think the lyrics could have been anything and I would have enjoyed it.
Over a year later, I still feel the quivering in my heart to a slight degree that my PTSD symptoms were real, but that they are almost gone. The position I am now is far far away from the position I was in when I was enjoying Lil Peeps music, I don't enjoy his music like I once did. His music helped me feel validated during a rough time, while I still appreciate it for what it did for me; I have moved onto different music. I've more or less moved away from rap and am back to things like My Bloody Valentine, The Cure, Slowdive and other popular 80-90's groups.
Appreciate the video, Dr Grande.
Gonna go listen to some lil peep after this. I would have never listened to him if it weren't for my little cousin. Super surprisingly i liked his music. Great vid Doc as always, thx for this one. Gonna share it with my little cousin I'm sure he will like it and my hope is he subscribes to you after watching 👍✌
Just wanted to add his music reminds me of my teenage yrs so I guess I not too surprised at the fact I enjoyed some of it. My little cousin had alot of similarities to peep also. The music, the drugs. He has stopped with the xanax all together and now only does marijuana. So many kids of my cousins generation share alot of similarities with peep, I think we should definitely be on the offensive with this. Just my opinion, because I thought my generation was messed up but they seem to be surpassing us in many ways. All negative. Saddens me to think of how these kids don't seem to be getting much in the way of education on positive things. I see spoiled, excuse making, no responsibility taking kids that honestly seem to be learning it all from their parents. Idk really that's just my perception on the subject. Light handed opinion honestly.
Very intelligent comment. Good luck to your cousin and peers. I agree, offense is needed. It's difficult, but necessary. Once a person gets addicted to drugs and/or alcohol, it's a lifelong struggle. 💔
@@JustDr.S Thank you. Happy new year to you and yours. Let's cross our fingers it's a year of betterment 👍🤞✌
Rest In Peace Lil Peep! My niece loves his music, and so do I! He was an extremely talented singer and song writer, I am amazed he wrote so many songs in such a short time, his music is truly beautiful and timeless, such a shame he is gone too soon!
Remember kids, always say perhaps to drugs.
Buahahaha
These were really some profound thoughts shared here. The thing is...people still do what makes them feel good; even when they are aware that it's an unhealthy coping mechanism & the escape is temporary. So many legendary artists have lost their lives due to associations of drug use & it always baffles me how the people around them react following their demise.
Always appreciate your insightful thoughts doc! One can only hope they're considered.
Wait right here, I’ll be back in the morning
My daughter loves his music a lot. Thankfully she was recently diagnosed as bipolar after having lots of problems with drugs. She’s on medication and doing better. She identified very much with this artists music and I did see that among other things as a call for help.
Thank you very much. An important lesson. Sometimes art simply imitates life.
I love the analogy of doing drugs and borrowing money at a high interest rate. Very insightful analysis. Dr Grande literally makes my day!😊
Hey Dr Grande! I’d love to see an analysis of Roman Polanski.
I always enjoy having a little peep at your informative-yet-entertaining videos, Dr. Grande -- and this one is no exception. I think it was Oscar Wilde who remarked that youth is wasted on the young. Add to that the vapid nature of popular culture, its penchant for promoting instant, outward gratification and you've got a recipe for disappointment, disenchantment and general dysfunction. It's vacuous, and full of empty promise and yet so alluring to so many.
That’s so sad. Poor kid.
Wow! To be able to understand all the nuances of current culture and then bring it all together with your skills....Brilliant!
Great video Dr. Grande! Can you do Michelle Blair, the "Freezer Mom" in one of your upcoming videos? I love your content! 😁
She is evil. I saw her interview on the channel dark matter, and I was disturbed. Haha. But I'd for sure be all about that!
@@TaurusWitch29 she is, the whole case is so sad abs very disturbing
So happy to stumble across Dr. G, subscribed and bingeing, loving the quick, dry wit commentary. This is probably the most somber one I've seen, as some of them, I've really bust a gut, laughter, but, this is, a very sad subject, and thus deserves the compassionate effect it's given.
You should talk about juice wrld next
Please! My step kids love juice world and listen to it a lot at their moms. We dont allow it at our house bc it is all about suicide and pills. Its very concerning to my husband and i but we ha e no say in what they can do at their moms.
No way! PURE awesomeness Dr.Grande, I love your channel and choice of people you choose to analyze while incorporating mental health topics. Keep up the great work.
R.i.P Lil Peep, alexa play star shopping 😔
Your voice is very calming I appreciate it doesn’t make me anxious during a long video and your not loud which is good too
Woooo!! Been waiting for this one!!
Dr. Grade you sure did make a complete analysis with what you had to work with about the mental health and personality factors that may or may not have been at work in the death of Gustav Ahr followed by comments about what professionals working in any human service role can learn from the case in order to help make their services student, client and patient centered. I hope all of us can prevent another generation from being labelled something like the lost generation like that generation who grew up during world war 1.
