Lucki dropped out of Proviso East High School at 16 after his early music started gaining heavy attention around Chicago, making him essentially a local celebrity while still in class.
Around the same time he was building the sound that became Alternative Trap, and later said the growing “buzz” around his music made normal school life feel completely disconnected from where his life was heading.
J.R.R. Tolkien first began creating Middle-earth around 1917 while recovering from World War I, originally inventing entire languages like Elvish before building stories and history around them. He spent nearly 40 years developing the world that eventually became The Lord of the Rings, creating maps, family bloodlines, mythologies, and thousands of years of fictional history long before the films ever existed.
The Lord of the Rings films later made nearly $3 billion at the box office and won 17 Academy Awards, while the books themselves have sold over 150 million copies worldwide.

A 2011 study on wild green-rumped parrotlets found that parrots give their babies unique “signature calls” that function almost like names, and the chicks learn them from their parents rather than inheriting them genetically. Researchers proved this by swapping eggs between nests and discovering the baby parrots grew up sounding like their foster parents instead of their biological ones.
