Based primarily around the internet, Futret[2] is a musician who has a style of being both incredibly bizarre and awesome at the same time.
He is probably best known for his work with Renard Queenston on GABBERSTÄG, and in My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic fandom for his tribute album to Cupcakes.
(This article could use some cleanup)

Discography:
- Cupcakes (June - 2011)

- DON'T EVER PAY MONEY FOR THIS ALBUM [FOR SERIOUS] (January - 2012)

Futret provides examples of the following tropes:
- Author Avatar: That brown/orange creature seen above is his official OC for Futret.
- Camp Gay: The themes of Gay Deer World Takeover, to an extent.
- Futstep
- Gayngst/Gay Aesop: "(More than) Deer to me"
- Genre Shift/Surprisingly Gentle Song: Contrary to the usual electronic and synth, "(More than) Deer to me" was based on vocals and piano.
- "I Want" Song: "Stag Night"
"I WANNA TAKE YOU TO A GAY BAH! |
- Lyrical Dissonance: "Nerves". The verses are both fast-paced and high-pitched; without paying attention, the lyrics and tune seem fairly happy. But, upon comprehension: The listener realizes that the song is about serial killers.
- Mad Doctor: The basis of "Upward Infection", though the man confesses he doesn't actually have a diploma.
- Mischiefcore
- Name's the Same/Mistaken Identity: There was a confusion about him and some guy claiming to be "Futret" on ChristianFur.
I DONT OWN A CHRISTIANFUR ACCOUNT, THAT PERSON ISNT ME, SORRY TO DISAPPOINT |
- Non-Appearing Title: "Upward Infection"
- Recurring Element: His visual art is almost always stylized with the distinctive futura typeface, which he describes as "very kawaii".
- In addition, he often gives his creatures his trademark set of teeth.
- Sampling: Prevalent in a majority of his songs. Full list can be seen here.
- Musical Satire
- Self-Deprecation: He occasionally writes things like [3] on his bandcamp.
- And especially on his album DON'T EVER PAY MONEY FOR THIS ALBUM [FOR SERIOUS][4]
- Slogans: A multitude, yet still the same concept: [5][6][7][8]
- Springtime for Hitler: DON'T EVER PAY MONEY FOR THIS ALBUM was made mainly in response to the LegalSounds.com piracy conflict[9]. Despite the fact, people seemed to still love the album.
- Stealth Pun: Mostly around his own name.[10]
- Tribute Album: To Cupcakes; and additionally, BALLS OUT MAGIC [MLP:FML] was again dedicated to the fandom.
- Unfortunate Implications: He had to change a track in ULTIMATE FUTRACKS 2012' in its re-release because some people were noticing one of the samples intended to sound like "neckbeards" sounded a bit more like the n-word.
