GothBoiClique are at the forefront of the emo-rap hybrid scene that emerged during the 2010s. Merging samples of pop-punk and indie rock with cloudy, atmospheric beats, their songs dwell on themes of heartbreak and depression, draped in macabre imagery reminiscent of early Three 6 Mafia. Centered in Los Angeles, the collective's members include founders Wicca Phase Springs Eternal, Cold Hart, and Horse Head, as well as Lil Tracy, Fish Narc, and the late Lil Peep. While GBC's members are more prolific as individuals than as a collective, they've released one mixtape (Yeah It's True, 2016) and toured as a unit in 2019, issuing single "Tiramisu" the same year.

Named after a beat that Cold Hart sent to Wicca Phase, GothBoiClique formed around 2013. Several other members soon joined, including Lil Tracy, YAWNS, and Døves; while based in Los Angeles, several members lived out of state, and the group communicated online through group chats. Much of GBC's roster also overlapped with Thraxxhouse, an extensive collective based in Los Angeles and Seattle. Thraxxhouse fell apart around 2015, as it became too big and unwieldy to manage, and GothBoiClique came into its own. The group issued a mixtape titled Yeah It's True in 2016, around the same time Lil Peep joined. Solo releases from the crew's members arrived at a rapid pace, including Wicca Phase's Secret Boy and Cold Hart's Marvelous Misadventures of Coldy. Peep received the greatest amount of media coverage, both before and after his untimely death in November of 2017. His posthumous 2018 album Come Over When You're Sober, Pt. 2 reached number four on the Billboard 200, and single "Falling Down" (with XXXTentacion) charted in two dozen countries, reaching number one in Finland, New Zealand, Norway, and Sweden. In 2019, GBC embarked on the Love Gang Forever Tour and released the single "Tiramisu." ~ Paul Simpson, Rovi
