Columbine is a French rap and hip-hop collective formed in Rennes, France, known for its innovative and poetic approach to music, with lyrics that often explore raw and introspective themes. The group was originally created by high school friends Foda C and Lujipeka, who would later be joined by other artists, producers, and collaborators, creating a diverse and dynamic array of talents within the collective. Their music blends melancholic ambiances with introspective lyrics, marked by a generation grappling with feelings of disillusionment and the struggles of youth.
The collective's name is a reference to the tragic Columbine High School massacre in 1999, but their use of the name is not to glorify the incident; rather, it is to reflect on the somber realities and emotions that young people face in the modern world. Columbine gained significant attention with the release of their debut album, "Enfants terribles," in 2017, which showcased their innovative sound and quickly built a dedicated fanbase. With subsequent hits like "Adieu bientôt" and "Cache-Cache," Columbine has cemented their place in the French music scene as a voice of a disaffected youth, blending melancholy, realism, and occasionally dark humor in their songs. The group's most recent releases, such as "Adieu, au revoir" and "C’est pas grave," continue their exploration of complex emotions and societal commentary, proving their artistry is both evocative and continually evolving.
