Born February 21st 1996, Rat Boy plays on the reckless youth image, shown perfectly in this image from NME's Ones to Watch list 2016. A few particular things to note in the picture are the fire, the swearing on the hoodie and the alcohol to the left of the picture. The sort of familiarity of the pub/club setting attracts his audience (of a similar age to him). This kind of mise en scene feeds into Rat Boy's music videos and his genre more widely. The candid style of the photo continues on from the scruffy/DIY nature of his music I mentioned in the previous blog post.
