On September 18, 2021, 6arelyhuman released a track which would experiment with a new style different from past songs, “Luv my drugz”, and it would be the first song to feature the style that 6arelyhuman often uses in their newest songs.
With his friends who are also EDM / Scene (subculture) Artists (syris and skypebf) he founded the collective Fabfantasy. FabFantasy is a group of artists who is popular for their emo-inspired nostalgic music and alternative art. The Song Death City (featuring Syris) was one of his first hits and became really popular on tiktok among the alternative community. References to the song’s popularity would appear later in “Disgusting”. After his Song Disgusting, which was his personally fav at the moment he became confident in creating more music. He released the Album Cyberspace This album serves as a representation of the music that 6arelyhuman makes, featuring all of his then-popular tracks representing his own genre Sassy Scene. This album suddenly appeared on all streaming platforms September 1, 2022, but later, for unknown reasons, in the winter of 2022 it has completely removed from all streaming services. [1]
Hamilition would drop the track “XOXO (Kisses Hugs)” on September 19, 2022, which instantly took off on TikTok and Spotify, the plays grew by leaps and bounds, and would gain over a million plays on Spotify and Soundcloud. The Scene Community loved him for his interpretation of the subculture, good vibes of that and fashion choices, later he was suddendly cancelled for allegedly glorifying self-harm or copying Jeffree Star who should have done the same thing in 2007.
