BROCKHAMPTON, often hailed as "the internet's first boy band," is an American hip-hop collective that was originally formed in San Marcos, Texas, in 2015. The group was the brainchild of Kevin Abstract, who put out a call on a Kanye West fan forum, and it quickly grew to encompass a diverse and dynamic array of vocalists, producers, and creators from across the country. With a fluid lineup and a focus on inclusivity and collaboration, BROCKHAMPTON stood out for their eclectic sound, candid lyrics, and relentless creativity, releasing a barrage of projects including the critically acclaimed "Saturation" trilogy in 2017 and the introspective "iridescence" in 2018, solidifying their place in the music industry as a force to be reckoned with.

Over the years, BROCKHAMPTON has become known for their hyper-energetic performances, a candid approach to themes like identity, sexuality, and race, and a DIY ethic reminiscent of punk culture. The collective has seen members come and go, with each contributing to the ever-evolving sound and image of the group. Their most recent projects, "The Family" and "TM," follow a string of successful releases, including "ROADRUNNER: NEW LIGHT, NEW MACHINE" and its PLUS PACK, which showcase the group's ability to navigate different musical styles while maintaining a cohesive vision. Their involvement with projects such as the 'Minions: The Rise of Gru' soundtrack with the track "Hollywood Swinging" exemplify their appeal across different audiences and platforms. Despite announcing that "The Family" would be their final album, BROCKHAMPTON's influence persists as a celebrated chapter in contemporary music, known for pushing boundaries and redefining what a boy band can be.
