Alice Glass Accuses Machine Gun Kelly Of Ripping Off Lil Peep's Style Exposes His Questionable Past Behavior On Twitter

Canadian electronic recording artist and former frontwoman of the electronic band Crystal Castles, Alice Glass has recently taken to social media to condemn Machine Gun Kelly for purportedly ripping off Lil Peep's style and having a history of cancelable moments after he posted a cringeworthy video reacting to people who call him a fake emo.

Late last week, Machine Gun Kelly posted a video calling out the "emo guardians" on TikTok for gatekeeping emo culture and calling him a poser after the release of his widely panned song "Emo Girl." The video gained over 10 million views in under a week.

The day after the upload, Alice Glass gave her opinion on the video in a tweet, writing, "im overly emo. and I dont appreciate people dropping in, making shitloads of money off the aesthetic, then making fun of the culture," gaining over 11,000 likes over the weekend. Glass followed her tweet up the next day with an even more viral post directly calling MGK out for "co-opting Lil Peep’s style so soon after his passing." Lil Peep died in November 2017 of a drug overdose.

What could have ended right then and there has instead launched a whole new level of criticism towards MGK as Twitter users accuse him of ripping off Lil Peep's style with all the receipts they can pull up. Some Twitter users are taking photos of Peep and comparing them to photos of MGK, showing him wearing similar outfits, posing in similar ways and even using the lyrics of a Peep song in an Instagram Story post. MGK was purportedly a fan of Peep before and after his passing and paid tribute to him back in 2019 with a performance of his song "Walk Away as the Door Slams."

Glass and her followers have since gone all-in in an attempt to expose MGK for his questionable past behavior. In one highly shared video posted by Glass today, MGK (23 at the time) says his celebrity crush is Kendall Jenner (17 at the time) and talks explicitly about how he wants to hook up with her despite her being a minor, using rockstars like Robert Plant, who had a relationship with a 14-year-old girl in the '70s, as justification for his thought process.

In another clip posted minutes later, she accuses MGK of "fetishizing black women" during an old interview. In the former post, Glass explains how MGK's arguments for wanting to get with Jenner are "the same arguments I heard as a young teenager" that were "used to exploit [her]." At the time of writing, MGK has not responded to Glass or any of the clips.

these are the same arguments I heard as a young teenager. arguments that were used to exploit me. this is very personal to me
