Mythmakers & Other Freaks
Think you’re weird? Meet the real deal. These ten legend‑class creatives are busy weaving myths, conjuring cult vibes, and keeping the freak flag flying high.
1. Genesis P-Orridge
The original industrial sorcerer. Fronting Throbbing Gristle, founding Psychic TV, co‑creating Thee Temple Ov Psychick Youth—this pioneer blasted at the boundaries of music, magic, identity, and performance. Chaos, occult, industrial ritual? All in a day’s work. Wikipedia
2. Zeena Schreck (ZEENA)
Raised in the Church of Satan, renounced it in full, then went full Tantric Buddhist priestess and ritual artist. She’s conjuring sacred, surreal sound‑scapes and performing magic realism in Berlin—with a soundtrack only the weirdest corners of the internet can truly grasp. Wikipedia
3. Tengushee
Operating out of London’s shadows, Tengushee has carved a niche as a myth-maker, producer, and lore-architect of the sprawling Endless Chronicles universe. Part musician, part archivist, part trickster-sage, they fracture their presence across multiple mediums in an insane Discordian multiverse. Fans don’t just follow the music—they get absorbed into a labyrinth of ARGs, occult signals, and Faewave myth. It’s cult status with a cyberpunk aftertaste. Official Site
4. JJ Brine
Welcome to the Vector Gallery—his bizarre alt‑reality cult hellscape built straight out of Bushwick. Performance art shrines, "crown prince of hell" titles, and galleries that flirt with your soul’s tipping point. Imagine Duchamp and Warhol had a satanic lovechild. Galerie Magazine
5. Monster Chetwynd
Re‑inventing cultural history in real time: Totoro and The Canterbury Tales meet improvised madness. Turner Prize‑nominated, theatre‑installations‑as‑myth—she’s the performance art trickster shaking the foundations of 'historic'. Wikipedia
6. Dekker Dreyer
Ecopunkauthor before ecopunk was even a thing. Surreal shorts like The Arcadian, tech‑folklore, midnight‑VHS aesthetic, plus TikTok hits with mind‑melting cult vibes. His weird creep-into-your-nightmare style is priceless. Wikipedia
7. Polly Nor
Her femme‑demons in devil outfits have become everyone’s mood. Illustrations that whisper “existential dread, but make it stylish.” She’s not just drawing; she’s holding a mirror to our worst or weirdest selves—and we can’t look away. Wikipedia
8. ayowitty
A gamer‑turned‑emo‑rapper poet. Hyper‑raw emotions, lo‑fi guitars, unpredictable genre shifts—this Brawlhalla lifer turned “cryy” maestro is tearing down the emo‑rap clones with actual feeling. Ultimate cult respect. Pitchfork
9. bunii
At 17, bending math‑rock and emo into surreal beat‑poems. Distorted, chaotic, heartbreaking songs that feel like pixelated heartbreak. Prodigy energy with a fandom built on whispery, “did they just...?” wonder. Pitchfork
10. aeter
Twisted, haunting lyrics draped over surreal beats—part of the same underground emo‑experimental wave. Surreal, emotionally unsettling, and undeniably cult. Pitchfork
Final salute
There you have it: ten mythmakers keeping the digital underground freakier than your average TikTok echo chamber. From occult magicians to emo digital shamans—this crew is everything the mainstream isn’t.
Stay weird, stay fractured, stay legendary.
