Editing Lil Uzi Vert (section)

== Style and Influence ==

Uzi's style combines musical and visual elements that distinguish him from contemporaries. His fashion sense, which incorporates high fashion, punk aesthetics, and streetwear, creates a visual identity as distinctive as his music. The pink diamond forehead implant, though later removed, exemplified his commitment to visual distinction that complements musical innovation. These choices create a persona that engages audiences through multiple registers rather than music alone.<ref name="dyson"/>

His musical influence extends to artists who have absorbed his genre-blending approach, contributing to a broader loosening of genre boundaries that streaming platforms have enabled and encouraged. The generation of artists following Uzi often shows similar willingness to incorporate rock, electronic, and pop influences into hip-hop frameworks, suggesting that his approach has influenced how subsequent artists think about genre constraints.<ref name="bradley"/>
