• Hypebeast culture (with Virgil Abloh)
• Basically all of the mid-late 2010’s aesthetics surrounding pastels which was undeniably prolific
• The first artist to emphasize solely using the internet as a platform for your sound (there’s no geographic origin of OF) and the sort of hype and subculture surrounding them as a group was an absolute first
• His above significance lead to the rise of a F***TON of Internet centered acts like Rex Orange County, BROCKHAMPTON, Aminé, and a number of others. Regardless of your opinion of those acts they’re popular acts to a significant extent
• Flagshipped Odd Future and gave a platform for Earl Sweatshirt, Frank Ocean, and the Internet, three undoubtedly significant acts in the world of hiphop in numbers, recognition, or both
• Artists throwing festivals
