A review of the new Lil Peep documentary

Everybody's Everything: Documentary Review

A week or two ago I finally got to watch the Everybody's Everything documentary (which I might add that I had been waiting months to see). If you're unfamiliar with this documentary, it's a film that follows the life and career of the late underground goth rapper Lil Peep. Now I understand that not everyone is super into this subculture of underground rap and gothic music but even setting aside the fact that I love Lil Peep, from a film aspect, this is a masterpiece. Don't believe me? Ask Rotten Tomatoes who gave this film a rating of 100% and an audience score of 99%.

The Story is structured around letters that Peep's grandfather had written to him while he was growing up. His mom being the main story teller, we see the side of Gustav (Peep) that we never have before. We see footage from his childhood, pictures of him growing up, and some fantastic interviews.

These interviews really make the film something incredible. There are interviews from his childhood best friends, family members, girlfriends, and even current rappers. Every one of them has a story to tell about Gus that will truly make you fall in love with him.

As we keep watching we see his rise to fame, his struggles, insecurities, and the dark side of being a public figure. It's both exhilarating and heartbreaking at the same time. You see an inside look into the lifestyle of a "rockstar" as Peep often referred to himself as.

The end of the film is very sad, as we begin to look into the true mystery of his death and all the factors that played into it. We see the tragic end to someone who truly changed music and the way we look at celebrities and young adults who suddenly become famous. As heartbreaking as it is, it leaves us with a new perspective and new ideas.

Truly this film was amazing, from the structure, to the interviews, to even the way it was shot and edited. I think regardless of if you're a fan Lil Peep or not, you should watch this film because I promise you, you'll leave with so many emotions and a new view of life.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
