Hitting on all of the important things!".[5]

Influence
According to the publication Passion of the Weiss,"Patchmade" helped popularize the jerk microgenre in the 2020s and was influential to artists such as YT,[3] Fakemink,[7] Phreshboyswag, Subiibabii and Nettspend, who "pointed to this seminal track as the spark for the nu-jerk wildfire".[1] The publication stated, "Kashpaint's contributions were spread amongst kids with nonsensical rap names and near inaudible mixing that never turned into anyone of note".[1]
