Oi oi! Strap in, c’mon butt, ‘cos we’re diving headfirst into the loudest, proudest, most chaotically vulnerable punk-pop juggernaut of the 21st century: YUNGBLUD. 🤘🎸🖤
He’s the black-heart emoji of Gen Z rock — part Sex Pistols, part My Chemical Romance, part glitchy TikTok chaos — and somehow still 100% himself: messy, mouthy, and madly magnetic.
Whether he’s shouting about politics, kissing fans on stage, or dancing in a dress while giving the middle finger to every suit in the music biz — YUNGBLUD is not here to be quiet, tidy, or easy to label.
And that’s exactly why we bloody love him.

⚡ THE VIBE – LIKE A RIOT INSIDE YOUR HEART
He’s punk, but pretty.
He’s emo, but euphoric.
He’s hip-hop influenced, but guitar-first.
He screams about Boris Johnson and body image in the same breath.
He’s the voice of the lost, the loud, and the lovely.
Imagine if Green Day and Lady Gaga had a hyperactive child raised by Tumblr and Camden Market.
That’s Yungblud.
💿 DISCOGRAPHY – CHAOS IN ALBUM FORM
💔 21st Century Liability (2018)
🎧 Polygraph Eyes, I Love You, Will You Marry Me
Vibe: Rage, rebellion, vulnerability.
The intro manifesto — gender, mental health, politics, and dirty basslines.
Anxious youth finally had a voice that screamed with them.
🤯 Weird! (2020)
🎧 God Save Me, But Don’t Drown Me Out, Mars, Cotton Candy
Vibe: A glam-punk, genre-bending explosion of identity.
Pansexual anthems, gender fluid visuals, mental health rawness.
It’s MCR meets Bowie meets neon rebellion.
Massive chart success. He became the voice of a movement.
🖤 Yungblud (2022)
🎧 The Funeral, Don’t Feel Like Feeling Sad Today, Tissues
Vibe: Polished chaos. Pop-punk hooks with soul-punching honesty.
Deeper, darker, but still danceable.
Also: Robert Smith of The Cure co-signs him here. LEGENDARY.
Bigger venues. Bigger hair. Bigger riffs.
🔮 Coming soon…?
He’s dropping cryptic teasers, surprise singles, and collabs left and right — you can bet another album bomb’s brewing.
And it’s gonna hit you in the feels, fists, and face.
🤘 COLLABS TO SCREAM ABOUT
- Machine Gun Kelly – Acting Like That
- Bring Me The Horizon – Obey
- Travis Barker – basically his drummer dad
- Willow, Avril Lavigne, Dan Reynolds, Marshmello, Tom Morello, AND HE’S JUST GETTING STARTED.
He’s genre-fluid and friend-heavy.
One minute it’s ska punk, next it’s a sobbing piano ballad about body image.
He thrives in chaos.
🎤 LIVE SHOWS – SCREAM, CRY, CUDDLE, RIOT
A Yungblud gig is:
- 🖤 Fans crying in eyeliner and Doc Martens
- 🎸 Stage dives, sweat, and spontaneous therapy sessions
- 🏳️🌈 Flags waving, hugs flying, and NO judgement
- 💥 He’s not just a performer — he’s a ringleader of revolution
It’s punk energy meets group hug.
You leave tired, teary, and reborn.
🧠 WHY YUNGBLUD MATTERS
Because he:
- Makes misfits feel like main characters
- Uses his platform to scream for the voiceless
- Breaks gender norms, music boundaries, and marketing expectations
- Wears his heart on his sleeve — then sets fire to the sleeve
- ***Is proof that punk’s not dead — it just got a TikTok account.
He’s a walking contradiction that makes perfect sense.
Too weird for the mainstream. Too big for the underground. Perfect for right now.
