Yung Lean's Vogue Interview
Swedish Rapper Yung Lean Talks Style and Shares His New Track “AF1’s” Exclusively Here
Quote:
Fronting is a huge part of Yung Lean’s persona. At 16, some of his lyrics were decidedly NSFW. Just don’t make the mistake of categorizing his posturing as machismo, like I did. “Not very macho. I’m not a very macho guy,” Håstad says gently but firmly. “I think you shouldn’t get my music confused with who I am or who we are, because Yung Lean, from the beginning, is like a character created by me. Yung Lean was everything that Jonatan wasn’t. And so me as a person and my views on things are certainly different than Yung lean’s views, so you should definitely not get those two mixed up.”
Håstad’s belief that music has power goes way beyond swag, though. “Whenever I talk to fans, they’re like, ‘Yeah, so when we started listening to Yung Lean, like, the whole school’s dress style changed, everyone’s attitude was different.’ I think it’s good, it’s healthy for people to just be open-minded . . . I think you can really see how much music affects society.”
