| '''Ryan Reyna''' (born August 8, 2004), known professionally as '''rejectedreyna''', is an American musician and visual artist based in the Chicago metropolitan area (specifically [[Wikipedia:West Chicago|West Chicago]]). He is best known as a vocalist in the "[[Wikipedia:Trap Metal|Trap Metal]]," "[[Wikipedia:Incel|Incelcore]],"<ref name="medium_analysis">Alistair Vane-Archer. (2025). ''https://medium.com/@a_v_archer_archival/project-sub-cultural-liquidation-8048d200b0d1''. Medium/Substack.</ref> and "[[Wikipedia:Horrorcore|Horrorcore]]" underground scenes and was a central figure in the now-defunct collective GORE STREET. Reyna self-describes his style as "New Age Horrorcore" or "Nu-Horror," a subgenre characterized by distorted 808s, screaming vocals, and lyrical themes centering on graphic violence, [[Wikipedia:Necrophilia|necrophilia]], and [[Wikipedia:Misantrophy|misanthropy]].

| | |
| His career has been marked by a heavy reliance on social media engagement, the sale of limited-run merchandise, and various controversies regarding his lyrical content's proximity to real-world criminal networks (specifically the "Com" community/[[Wikipedia:764 (organization)|764]]).

| | |
| == Life & Music Career == | |
| Ryan Reyna was born and raised in West Chicago, Illinois, a suburban municipality located distinct from the city proper. Despite his frequent use of the "Eastside" moniker, Reyna has confirmed in interviews that the title refers to "Eastside Murderers," a juvenile online gaming clan formed for ''Minecraft'', ''Garry's Mod'', and ''Counter-Strike'', rather than the actual [[Wikipedia:East Side, Chicago|East Side]] neighborhood of Chicago. This geographical discrepancy has led critics to characterize his urban persona as "Aesthetic Tourism," noting that his lived experience is rooted entirely in the safety of the DuPage County suburbs rather than the urban environment he emulates in his "Trap Metal" imagery.

| Reyna withdrew from the education system at the age of 15, [[Wikipedia:Dropping out|dropping out]] of middle school with the explicit encouragement of his father. Reyna has cited his father's counter-culture beliefs as the primary driver for this decision, stating that his parent prioritized artistic output over formal education. Industry analysts have frequently cited this early isolation as the root cause of his "Arrested Development," arguing that his lack of secondary schooling contributed to a reliance on "mimetic" behavior. Instead of developing an original identity, Reyna constructs his persona by copying the aesthetics of Nu-Metal bands like Slipknot and horror films such as ''August Underground'' to compensate for a lack of real-world socialization.

| === Personal Life & NEET Status ===
| |
| Reyna maintains a reclusive existence consistent with the sociological profile of a [[Wikipedia:NEET|NEET]] (Not in Education, Employment, or Training). His daily routine follows a nocturnal schedule, typically waking at 3:00 PM to engage in prolonged sessions of ''Roblox'' and ''Fortnite'' until the early morning hours. This lifestyle is sustained by a diet primarily consisting of fast food, specifically Subway sandwiches without vegetables, and liquid smoothies. Forensic analysis of his social media logs reveals a pattern of performative substance abuse, including the consumption of alcohol and chain-smoking Newport cigarettes, which critics interpret as an attempt to project adulthood. Financially, Reyna has admitted to possessing no disposable income and relies entirely on parental support and sporadic merchandise drops to fund his "Boss" persona, creating a stark contrast between his projected image of success and his actual status as a financial dependent living in the suburbs.<ref name="risk_pdf">AFRD Operational Risk Unit.

| == Controversies ==
| |
| === 764 / "SickFuqNation" Allegations ===
| |
| Reyna faced significant scrutiny for a deleted track titled "''sickfuq-nation''," which referenced the online shock/extortion group SickFuqNation (a precursor to the [[Wikipedia:764|764]] criminal network).<ref name="audio_archive">Internet Archive. (2025). ''Archived Audio Evidence: 'sickfuq-nation' & 764 Affiliation''. Retrieved from https://archive.org/details/rejected-reyna-sickfuq-nation</ref> The song's lyrics closely referenced the group, leading to accusations that he was glorifying or participating in the "Com" community's abuse of minors. When pressed, Reyna claimed he wrote the song at age 15 as an "anti-animal abuse" statement. However, this interpretation was widely disputed by critics.
| |
| | |
| === The "Venxm" Doxxing Incident ===
| |
| In a documented attempt to scrub his digital footprint, Reyna allegedly executed a [[Wikipedia:Doxxing|doxxing]] operation against a 12-year-old British archivist known as "Venxm" who had re-uploaded the controversial "764" track. This incident is cited by critics as proof of Reyna's "Predator Reflex"—resorting to nuclear options to silence criticism.
