In this day in age with modern technology, it can be very easy for a whole generation to decide whether to love or hate an artist as a whole. Well, what if one generation all concluded that Tyler the Creator is their all-time favorite? Tyler Gregory started his music career as a rapper and producer right around 2010 and has released 7 albums since then, which all have been notoriously adored and appreciated by the fan base. He can also be known for his lovable and humorous personality aside from his music career, which can be shown in his prank-related TV show “Loiter Squad” and in interviews with people such as Nardwuar the Human Serviette. All that aside, what makes Tyler the creator so loved? What do people find appealing about him?
Some seem to like the lyricist side of his artistry. Tyler recently has made music with lyrics speaking about relationship ups and downs, and how they can make one feel. “I can connect to “Answer” because I don’t have a relationship with my dad,” said freshman Cash Davis.
“Well, when I first heard his music, I looked into the lyrics a little more, and I just found them really relatable. It’s just the type of music he makes it just has a style to it and I really like that style so then I started to listen to him more,” said freshman Keith Tate.
It seems like some listeners overall just love Tyler’s music because they know that they’re not alone. People love listening to Tyler’s songs that can perfectly depict their struggles because it can make them feel comforted and his music can romanticize that melancholic feeling. I mentioned earlier that some people prefer listening to Tyler’s sad music because those songs that sing about the same issues that they are dealing with can give that person a sensation of self-awareness, or can help them process how they feel. And others have been stuck in their feelings for so long that they no longer bother getting out of them, and instead seek comfort in their sorrows by listening to melancholic music like Tyler’s.
Even though some listen to Tyler the Creator’s music for the relatable side, others have enjoyed his music for the overall sound and the idea of his music, and similar to that, others just appreciate him a lot for shaping and influencing music now.
“Tyler the Creator is immaculate, like the songs he’s made like “Wolf” have like a whole story to them, including “Cherry Bomb” as well I just think it is very good. I also enjoy how his latest album “Call Me If You Get Lost,” seems to have some sort of story to it, and showed a bunch of different personalities he had in the previous albums, which I thought was pretty nice,” said ex-Manassas resident, Sahl Shafi.
Like the majority of people, people obviously love listening to music that sounds good to them and Tyler is an amazing example of great music judging by the fact he has nearly 30 million monthly listeners on Spotify and has won numerous music awards. Tyler clearly puts effort into his music and he does a different thing each time he releases music, so he’s clearly great at what he does. Although his older music went for an edgier and more violent approach, a lot of people can agree that his music has a very smooth and tranquil feel now, which fans adore. Unlike other pop/rap artists, he adds a jazz-like beat to his music, which is both unique and appears relaxing and comforting to fans. “There’s definitely a tolerance to jazz beats now, more than there was ten years ago. But now it’s more appreciated because Tyler has incorporated that,” said freshman Cash Davis.
Although some people very much enjoy his music side, others entirely ignore that and instead love Tyler for himself outside of his art.” I do, he’s a very silly person, and he’s really quirky,” said freshman, Keith Tate.
“I’ve watched some interviews about him and he’s really cool yeah,” said freshman, Cash Davis.
Folks love to be around people with humorous personalities no matter what, so having your favorite artist have an entertaining character aside from music can make any fan love their favorite artist. They appear more lovable to fans. In this case, Tyler the Creator is a prime example of a witty music artist, considering his interviews, videos, and even a whole TV show based on comedy sketches and playing pranks with other hilarious artists. “Oh yeah, Tyler the creator is really funny. I know that he has done TV shows where he does pranks on people and it was called “Loiter Squad“- That stuff was really funny, That promotional thing too where they made waffles, Yea that was really funny;Â he’s a funny guy,” said ex-Manassas resident, Sahl Shafi.
Tyler the Creator seems to stay quiet after releasing an album, other than doing a couple of concerts. Recently Tyler has just been doing concerts promoting his latest album “Call Me If You Get Lost.” Rumor has it he going to show up at Camp Flaw Gnaw Carnival, along with other music artists, to perform some of their own songs in November.

I have listened to Tyler and I think he is a good musician. I can relate to some songs which makes me feel less alone.
Rachelle Mora • Sep 28, 2023 at 1:59 pm
I don’t really listen to that type of music. I’ve only heard a song or two, and I think he’s alright. He seems like a very chill person though.
Jasmine Villanueva • Sep 28, 2023 at 1:14 pm
I really like Tyler the creator’s music because like you mentioned in the article a lot of his songs tell a story, and it makes it more interesting to listen to. I also really like the different type of vibes every song of his has.

vivian garcia • Sep 28, 2023 at 10:36 am
personally I don’t find his music good but I think this is very nicely worded and it seems relatable for some people.
Tyiis Tibbs • Sep 27, 2023 at 1:18 pm
I believe that Tyler has many songs that many individuals enjoy but personally I find his music not as exciting as people say it is. I feel like they are hyping it up too much.
miroslava romanenko • Sep 27, 2023 at 12:59 pm
I honestly agree, when i first heard about him from a friend i started listening to him, the more and more i listened to his songs i realized the little stories hidden in them. which made me like them more, i think this article is really well written as well and it makes sense.
angela ogbeide • Sep 27, 2023 at 12:11 pm
honestly I disagree I find his music very boring to me. He is very chill and a good person but the type of music he makes its not my cup of tea I just don’t feel connected to him, he only has one good music which is called ”I get a kiss ft Kail Uchis.
AmirMuhammad • Mar 28, 2024 at 10:29 am
You mean See You Again ft Kali Uchis?
cailynn white • Sep 27, 2023 at 12:10 pm

kira ellis-williams • Sep 27, 2023 at 12:03 pm
I like Tyler the Creator’s music as well. I first listened to him during quarantine and could connect to his music.
Daniela • Sep 27, 2023 at 10:56 am
I think Tyler the creator really appeals to the younger generation because of the little stories that are told in his songs. His music like said in the article helps people because of the way many can relate to the lyrics and it is comforting to know you aren’t alone . Many of my friends enjoy Tyler and I personally do as well. My favorite songs are “IFHY” which features Pharrell and “Awkward” because I personally seek comfort in music and these two songs really caught my eye when I first listened .
rocio • Sep 27, 2023 at 10:37 am
my sister showed me some of tyler’s songs and then i started to get really into his music and he’s also really funny the song i really like from him is ‘Answer” and “She”.
Jose Amaya • Sep 27, 2023 at 10:35 am
I like Tyler, the Creator because of his unique and innovative approach to music. He’s unafraid to experiment with different genres and styles, constantly pushing the boundaries of what hip-hop and rap can be. Tyler’s lyricism is often thought-provoking, addressing personal struggles and societal issues with depth and authenticity. His albums, like “IGOR” and “Flower Boy,” have resonated with me due to their emotional depth and artistic evolution. Finally, Tyler’s outspoken individuality and refusal to conform to industry norms inspire a sense of authenticity and self-expression that I appreciate in an artist.
andrew • Sep 27, 2023 at 10:31 am
To be honest I would have to disagree in my opinion his music is not all that. I believe that he has a lovable and humorous personality but the music isn’t really that good. I’ve listened to almost about 3-4 of his albums and his most recent one “Call Me If You Get Lost” which in my opinion his only good album. The rest of his albums are just not so good its not something you really vibe to in a car or something like that so I basically don’t get the hype about his music.
Michelle McDonell • Sep 26, 2023 at 12:02 pm
I first heard of Tyler the Creator through my friends, and when I heard some of his songs, I realized that I had heard his music before, but I never realized. I started listening to him and oh my god, I really liked his stuff… I loved the comforting and chill vibes of his songs. I think one of my favorites probably “FIND YOUR WINGS” because the vocals are pretty and the jazz in the background. But he can also do other things, like more rap-like things. “NEW MAGIC WAND” oh my god… he is truly good at every genre that he produces music in.
Aylani Ruiz • Sep 27, 2023 at 10:36 am
I agree
Cash Davis • Feb 29, 2024 at 8:39 am
New Magic Wand is one of his pop songs.
Jack Bailey • Sep 26, 2023 at 11:27 am
A decisive and thorough examination of the appreciable qualities of Tyler the Creator.
Well done, Allison.
