вЂњI had a lot of friends but in a room full of people I would feel totally alone,вЂќ he says. He was bullied remorselessly, even by his teachers who would single him out for his sartorial choices in front of the class. Growing up in Doncaster was both вЂњgreat and fucking awfulвЂќ. IвЂ™m just like them in the way theyвЂ™re just like me.вЂќДЇlying tonight вЂ¦ Yungblud in his trademark pink socks at the 2020 MTV EMAs. I know itвЂ™s fucked-up that all of us have this codependency, but thatвЂ™s the way it is. If I donвЂ™t do it I go back to wanting to kill myself. ThatвЂ™s what itвЂ™s about, connecting to people.вЂќ He takes a rare pause, his elasticated, Joker-esque face suddenly looking very serious. All I care about is a culture, like the Stone Roses or Green Day had, where I stand on stage and we come together because weвЂ™re integral to each otherвЂ™s lives. вЂњIf you know Yungblud, the music is secondary,вЂќ Harrison says.

The relationship between artist and fanbase is symbiotic вЂ“ вЂњI donвЂ™t call them my fans, I call them my family because my connection with them is crazy,вЂќ he says earnestly вЂ“ with Harrison filling his lockdown with fortnightly fan phone calls, livestreamed gigs and a barrage of content shared with his 2.6 million Instagram followers.

While his red brothel creepers match his hair and his nails, they clash with his trademark pink socks, a sartorial cue adopted by his legion of hardcore fans, the Black Hearts Club, so named after two tattoos that adorn HarrisonвЂ™s fingers. Known for his elaborate attire вЂ“ at this monthвЂ™s MTV Europe music awards, where he won the award for best push act (best breakthrough), he performed in a white netball skirt and silver wings while suspended 20ft in the air вЂ“ today Harrison is relatively dressed down in a crisp white shirt, black leather studded braces and a jaunty beret accented with a вЂњblow meвЂќ pin badge. In Harrison, his fans have found a charismatic leader who can make the most trite of soundbites вЂ“ at one point today he describes TikTok as вЂњpunk as fuckвЂќ вЂ“ sound like a call to arms.

Earlier this year, LondonвЂ™s Evening Standard called him вЂњthe poster boy of Gen ZвЂќ, while Dave Grohl has hailed him as the future of rockвЂ™nвЂ™roll. His hyperactive songs, careening between bubblegum pop, goth-tinged emo and throat-lacerating rock, read like a checklist of modern pop tropes, tackling everything from mental health (Medication) to sexual fluidity (Cotton Candy) to, like, not listening to your parents (Parents). From the start, Yungblud has, he says, been about вЂњrepresentation for the unrepresentedвЂќ and creating a safe space for lifeвЂ™s so-called weirdos, a nod to one of his idols, Lady Gaga. вЂњIвЂ™ve got ADHD and I just have a million ideas a minute that just want to get out.вЂќДespite an impressive 8.6 million monthly listeners on Spotify, Harrison has yet to fully infiltrate the mainstream his only dents on the UK Top 100 so far have been via collaborations with the likes of his ex-girlfriend Halsey (11 Minutes) and fellow pouty anger merchants Bring Me the Horizon (Obey) вЂ“ but thatвЂ™s sort of the point. вЂњWhen something importantвЂ™s going on my mind just runs,вЂќ he says in his thick Doncaster accent, before collapsing his lanky frame into a too-small chair in his PRвЂ™s central London office.
