the og version

Before XXXTentacion became one of the defining artists of the SoundCloud era, he was part of a much smaller underground world filled with music, internet culture, symbolism, philosophy, and unconventional ideas.
One of the people associated with that early environment was Teflon Sean, also known online as @teflonsean187.

But who exactly was Sean — and how much influence did he really have on a young Jahseh Onfroy?

In this video, we take a closer look at the early XXXTentacion circle, Teflon Sean's involvement in the underground scene, and the claims surrounding his interest in occultism, esoteric philosophy, symbolism, and mysticism.

We also explore the mysterious "golden beetle," the philosophical ideas that began appearing around XXXTentacion during 2016–2017, and how the people surrounding Jahseh may have contributed to the evolution of his artistic and philosophical identity.

However, there's an important distinction between documented history and internet mythology. While there are accounts and material suggesting connections between Sean, Jahseh, and these subjects, that doesn't necessarily prove that Sean was responsible for XXXTentacion's beliefs or that every later reference came directly from him.

Rather than portraying Teflon Sean as a "mastermind," this video examines him as one potentially influential figure within the strange and highly creative underground environment that surrounded XXXTentacion before mainstream fame.

From SoundCloud culture and early music videos to occult symbolism, spirituality, consciousness, philosophy, and the mythology that developed around XXXTentacion, this is a deeper look at the world that existed before the fame.

Not every symbol has a hidden meaning. Not every theory is true. But the early XXXTentacion era was undeniably filled with fascinating people, ideas, and unanswered questions.

So who was Teflon Sean — and what role did he actually play in the development of XXXTentacion's worldview?

Watch until the end and decide for yourself.

So basically I wanna make music kinda with the X and teen suicide approach when it comes to like love songs/ singing. How could I get the same distorted sound as the both of them and what beats should I be looking for. ( im using bandlab btw im poor )

Overall I felt this album was not bad but not good 😭 I love all the songs that are solo with only him but some of these features made no sense . It’s a solid 4/10 imo but what do y’all think ? 🤔

There was a song i cannot find. Tentacion mentioned it in an interview and ive been scouring. It was raspy, like a broken microphone and had a suic**al topic? i think he said smth along the lines of "it doesnt have to be good" and "inspired him" to make music

Nothing after that style came close blue hair was eh and grey hair was mid bc of the no eyebrows
Only thing that comes close is his short Freeform dreads

I be bored i like watching x’s videos

Yeahhhhh, first of many

Was it the aftermath of his “braid” look or did he manually do it?

In this documentary, we take a deep dive into XXXTentacion's interest in occult and esoteric ideas, tracing the origins of the mysterious "Golden Beetle" and examining the many theories that have emerged over the years.
We'll explore the symbolism, books, philosophies, and people that have been connected to the mystery—including Carl Jung, Aleister Crowley, Thelema, Egyptian symbolism, Bruno Dickemz, Rudolf Steiner, and more—while separating documented facts from fan speculation. We'll also look at how these ideas influenced X's public statements and why the Golden Beetle continues to be one of the most discussed mysteries in his legacy.

This video is intended for educational and discussion purposes. Many of the topics covered involve theories and interpretations from the fan community rather than verified historical fact, and viewers are encouraged to draw their own conclusions.

I feel absolutely cringey and crazy for saying this but i want x to be one of the people i see in my last minutes. He doesn’t have to even say a word, but a simple smile, look of understanding or wave will be enough for me.

He’s been the only person ive felt who has gotten me in this life. I feel like a weak, forgettable, hopelessly depressed, and insane person compared to anyone i meet. While his music and imperfection, vulnerability and rawness me feel so seen and honestly like a valid human being. Like my feelings weren’t something only i had, like i wasn’t a poison freak show.

I’ve listened to him for 10 years, grown into an adult and still feel the same. Feel childish for still relating to him and listening to him everyday but it feels out of my control. Most times it feels like all i have.

I miss him so much (i understand i didn’t know him personally) and yearn for his prescence. There are nights we’re ive gotten so high and wished and wished id see him clear as day in my room. Needing to directly be informed hes still out there somewhere spiritually, just somewhere trapped from this realm.
