SIGIL KULT (DAY 1 RAW FOOTAGE)
What's up y'all ..
I'm sure some of you guys have come across the "Homeless Influencer Cult" in your algorithm recently, who were going quite viral for their party and 'chaos magic' shenanigans in a Downtown LA apartment. A few days ago, they were evicted from the apartment due to capacity violations and are currently floating around the city. Over the course of this weekend, I'll be trying to understand them and getting to know some of the characters involved. I find it all to be extremely interesting for a number of reasons, and I got really great feedback from patrons over the course of the past few weeks when dropping raw cuts of Afroman, Clavicular, Maduro Court Date and so forth.... so I figure I'd keep it going.
Hope you guys enjoy this one. Let me know any questions you'd like me to ask them tomorrow.

ahh few too many drugs at a young age for many of these people i think
Just remember, the taxpayer funds these lifestyles whenever folks get hurt or damage municipal property, etc systemic impacts.
Is the manifestation guy the same as the giant octopus is the ocean above and below us guy?
I should have kept watching lol
I am way too stoned to be watching this
Where’s Day 2?
where’s day 2
a misunderstood Neo-MOVE
YOO ANDREW GETTING UPS
Reminds me of the 80s, kids living in warehouses. Same shit, different decade. Some kids might not make it out of their tough situation and some of these kids will be A-OK.
Turning 16 is now behind a paywall. Wow
Huh..I’m torn between judging these fools as fakers and homeless drug addicts..!but then I’m also listening to their dialogue and it’s beyond clueless , so i find myself feeling sad for these lost folks. It’s clear they are looking for something and have taken to this …show…for a sense of security and familial properieties. They’re essentially just another example of youth lost. It happens.
Andrew might only speak 2 official languages, but he speaks human better than any other. I just wanted the Clavicular interview and it’s amazing to me how well this man connects to entirely different kinds of people.
damn was that tech n9ne in the beginning
When everyone has no crispy Sprite @ McDonald will these people seem so crazy. Pay homage to water.
WHO IS CHIEF KEEF?!
who’s the white kid claiming he had a hit song with Kendrick?
Strung-out theater kids…. that’s all I see. I don’t perceive them as incoherent. I see decaying cognitive function.
not really sure what to make of this, but it's good to know more about other kinds of people I guess
I love when you do pieces like that I think it helps humanize people
some these comments are dumb asf, my heart breaks for these people and im glad Andrew is able to show who they are unbiasedly
Stupid af
They seem lovely, but still Don't overdo the Acid, kids 😂
Dude, any shot from that dude to that girl there's way more years than being presented.
"Ok it's all good" 1 millisecond later "That's crazy are you serious"
not knowing chief keef was the kicker
It's crazy how judgemental and close-minded some of these comments are. Why not just observe and reflect on the fact that every single human on this planet is living in their own world completely separate from your own... trying to cope and find meaning and community? Why be so hateful? Yiiikes.
💯 ❤️
Just get a job and you can still make music lmmmao
it's wild because they are kind of on to omething but not capable of communicating it. I'm writing a manifesto on how to construct an interior mythology to navigate the modern world. Jesus is actually a meme that blocks us from going further.
i would be curious to hear about that tbh
So you're just banking on virality? Nothing else? I stg these last 5-8 videos have been actual slop. D9 better.
I was honestly really intrigued by the way they spoke, it almost felt childlike at times. What stood out most to me was how many of them said they ended up there because they were missing family or friends. It felt like they were all trying to fill some kind of gap in their lives, like something important was missing. Even when the answers weren’t polished or easy to follow it was a trip to see their world and how they think. I was glad you brought us into a world (I didn't know) existed... Crazy Shit!
right at the end chat about a "Content house" and "investors for rent" lol
This interview disturbed me. Its shocking to know that people like this exist, and therefore I want to praise your documentary for its historical function, but the substance was just not there. Not your fault that these interviews seem off. These people can't give coherent answers, or even incoherent answers that still resonate with or are emblematic of something else (a la many All Gas interviews). They just sound like first graders who woke up from their afternoon nap and had to answer all of the teachers questions.
I get where you’re coming from, but I actually think that’s part of what makes the interview strong. When you’re stepping into a world that isn’t usually documented or understood, you don’t always get polished, coherent narratives and that’s kind of the point. The awkwardness, the lack of clear answers, even the discomfort it reflects the reality of the environment he’s exploring. Good reporting isn’t always about getting clean, satisfying soundbites; sometimes it’s about showing things as they are, especially when you’re diving into an unknown space most people never see.
Andrew some of your best content is documenting crazy weird shit like this, please don't listen to people saying it's not deep enough or uninteresting, it's the contrast of ur content. It's nice to not have only meaningful political coverage., and to be able to see into random weird cultures and groups like this.
💞
😬 amazing non judgement and working to engage with people who, for a variety of reasons, are struggling to engage with the rest of us
well put
Stupid ass wannabe Lil peep junkies jocking some pseudo occult Aleister Crowley hokum. Pretty goofy.
I get what you're saying, but also, they're really living like that.
"When the sun is risin' over streets so barren Since the evenin', colors flash before my eyes I feel like a child, so young and new in '92, I listen To what my father said Keep all your dreams, keep standing tall If you are strong you cannot fall There is a voice inside us all So smile when you can, when you can How this used to feel so far and free Now these broken souls are all I see Fists have fallen to our side We may cry alone I feel we know where all of this is headed But my mama said..." -DG/CB
Andrew Are You Kidding Me?!
Not your best questions. Really came off as content grasping and trying to validate yourself rather than journalistic understanding.
I think bro just genuinely didn't know what to say in response to people who are 100% all-in on being deliberatly as 'not on the same page' as possible. I don't think there's any point in trying to pin down their understanding from a conventional point of view because they are intentionally trying to depart from that, so best that can be done is make them as comfortable as possible to get some insight from their point of view. The interesting part is looking backwards throught the telescope and considering where the expression is is actually being drawn from i.e. "did you see symbols like these in Skyrim?" is actually a really probing question.
These people are gonna accidentally procreate
This gives me manson family vibes almost.
worst afterparty ever
tags licks noz cults adult babies....& more
i think it's great that C5 documents these types of things. regardless of whether you pass moral judgement on the way these communities of people live, they are out there. people do all sorts of different things to cope. everything comes out of something. the way people end up is always a consequence of what they have been through. if you are worried about someones wellbeing you can always try to figure out what to do to help. isn't it better to know what's out there? what people are going through? and yeah, of course you are not always going to agree with everyone and their actions at all times. but there can be a lot of points of relation with many people even if you disagree with most of the things they put out/represent. i mean, i wouldn't sacrifice spiders but i thought that "looking for acceptance from everyone but themselves" was pretty beautiful.
Charli Lonewolf is the only one of these kids that has an ounce of sense. She's a ray of light in a sea of darkness.
These poor kids hardly have 13 brain cells between them. A generation raised on 'Ancient Aliens', alcohol, and street narcotics don't stand a chance in the world that the rest of us live in, sadly. Shit, some of them don't even know who Chief Keef is!
lots of interesting stuff happening here. the last guy you interviewed had caught my ear especially. the question about how people disqualify themselves from the kult specifically. he said that if people act selfishly they're excluded. his answer could be interpreted as a direct response to the "build your brand" / diy / solopreneure culture of the last couple decades. unity, collective ownership and the common good of the group are powerful ideas, but I don't see enough structure in this group to maintain any kind of traction. the painter who said she wished they didn't do drugs is closer to a more sustainable path imo. on the outside of the outsiders she's putting her head down and working toward her passion while lifting other up along the way. that kind of ethic deserves more respect
Alcohol is a hell of a drug
Whose baby is that? She looks like a teenager :,(
literal missing person
one of the dudes is from literally from complexcon 2022 thumbnail
crazy how the camera cuts when he first offers to make the sigil...
Idk whats worse this or clavicular lmao
Is this the bottom yet? What am I watching here?
Someone got too. Documentation is always valuable and rarely this quality. 🇬🇧
11:03 Wait up. Is that Daisy from Venice/Santa Monica? Look up GIV on YouTube for details and clues. 🇬🇧
this really feels like scraping the bottom of the barrel as far as 'content' is concerned. not trying to disrespect these people but there's really nothing interesting going on here; some actual trauma-based shenanigans, some hangers-on, low intelligence, and most disconcertingly this young girl who sounds like she's fuckin 13 or some shit hanging out with these dudes in their 30s all getting whacked every day and fucking around in abandoned buildings. how the fuck they pay for those clothes? just wtf is this shit? for me, this looks whack for C5, the contrast between interviewing idk shia labeouf or afroman to interviewing these empty brained wannabe's .. it's startling.
Time for you to change YOUR channel. The rest of our audience truly appreciates this one. 🇬🇧
retards
love to know about the conspiracy stuff more, great content.
Maybe ask the cult if they see how similar their group is to 1960s era hippie groups and free love hostel living, enclave groups. I find it kinda neat.
This is fucking bonkers
Another great video thank you!
Andrew where can I get the discord link please
Awesome doc. The hate comments are wack as fuck and whoever leaves them under these vids could never do journalism with that wack ass attitude towards other people. Its disgusting honestly, ppl watch channel 5 and think they have some type of moral high ground to judge other people. Keep killin it C5 crew.
Just because somebody is viewing it doesn't mean they even want to be a journalist bud lol. The zombie master relationship is normalizing sex trafficking. There's a bigger issue than just trying to silence the "haters." I for one enjoy Channel 5 and what they cover but this one was pretty out there
Some of the most uninteresting retarded corny ppl I've seen on this channel
rip peep 🖤
holy mental illness
What no Marx does to a mf
Been loving the content man. Thanks🙌
So many layers
This is a great fucking mini doc.
This shit is a little weird and wild. I guess as long as they're not hurting anyone 🤷🏽.. Clearly there's a lot going on. I'd like to see a follow up in a few years when these people are older.
I love this idea. Even if only 6 days/weeks/months from now. 👍🏼🇬🇧
it's like everything wrong with our culture is here all at once
graffitti girl the only one whos gonna make it out of this
Andrew's interviewing is amazing. His ability to empathize with them, but also bring the viewer of the video into the convo, and pivot in the environment. The raw footage of Andrew doing his thing is really awesome.
the skyrim music is calling to this one
Girl how u not know chief Sosa
That girl in the green gave me a physical ick, been awhile since that has happened
she needs a welfare checkl
Maybe cuz' they're on downers and booze but I was expecting a more hyped return to AGNB coverage. It'd be interesting to be there when they make music. More energy, perhaps?
He was genuinely offended she ain't know chief keef 😂
The kids are not ok
Jesus Christ
Holy hell. 👊🏼🇬🇧
REDBANK NJ!! Shoutouttttt, crazy how small the world is man. Love your stuff Andrew. Please the Ramallah stuff soon. Free Palestine, Up the RA; all that shit cuz
It's funny how they talk about the unregulated capitalist system and ai infrastructure as the "matrix" (I agree) but then are singularly focused on living a social media content mill existence. Which is basically the nexus of the "matrix" and perpetuates it's stranglehold on society.
It’s almost like they have no fucking clue what they’re talking about.
This was hard to watch lol. I wish I could show my students this shi.
Welcome back Ricky Nelson
idk if anyone else noticed, but the girl in green has cutting scars on her arms. Clout "cults" like these that are fueled by this idea of "fuck the system" and "I don't give a fuck" mentality and attract vulnerable people, people that may not have had a childhood due to abuse or, like that guy said, a parent dying and having to go into foster care, neglect. I want to say it's just a phase, but childhood trauma doesn't just fade away and when self-medicated with drugs and other inebriates, only continues to destroy them entirely. I hope they find the help they need.
Yeah because they're young and don't know any better because their early life is either fucked up or overly sheltered.
Man, the comments on these Patreon videos are significantly more hateful than on C5 YouTube videos.
I think YouTube tries to lean positive imo
Goddamn them dudes toy af!
shocked the blonde kid didn’t spell out his soundcloud
Is this a bit or are they actually retarded?
Back in the day we called these kinds of kids Gutter Punks. They remind me of the 1983 movie Suburbia.
Reminds me of the early 2000's rave scene in LA
Graff girl deserves a spot on the C5 roster she is legit and coherent
These guys are straight outta a 2000s dystopia movie
Andrew with the Jesus tie is absolutely goated
These are literally just homeless drug addicts, calling them an "influencer cult" is playing into their nihilist bullshit. Just my 2 cents, fuck these kids
🎯
Cosplaying as homeless people is nuts.
💞
If they’re so against AI stop spending so much damn time on the internet
The amount of phones I saw them holding while talking about a dystopian, Terminator future was outrageous. There’s a disconnect for sure.
“how would you explain the cult?” “we just a bunch of individuals” lmao
🖤
Manifestation is kinda true some of the time, sorta. But Murphy’s law. Baby, that’s the LAW of the universe.
Bruh what in the fuck lmao
bro can’t believe she don’t know chiefkeef haha
omg yes
I thought this wad gonna be about actual sigils and legit thought that was YESCA, people used to get me to design their sigils for tattooing, do more heater writers yo.
I provide the devine. I dont even know what sigils do, people seek them once theyre told how i make them, the blond guy can run them, para normal is just normal without a measuring stick to decifer it. ONE GOD. THE SUN. UNITED BODIES IF LIGHT.
43:30 lmao white homie was mad sad he wasn't given the mic
Is it ironic that the first guy keeps talking about being himself, while having a giant picture of the person he's imitating on his shirt?
These dudes feel performative as hell. Fetishizing homelessness while holding their phones and throwing hard fits on?
🎯
this lifestyle performance is definitely a canary in the coal mine
Damn bruh….. not gonna lie I’ve always wandered what you write because you hella get down with Oakland Graff fools!
Lay off the xanz
Angel master straight up describing the movie “afterlight” on Amazon prime 😂 Magic is real, occult science is real, our self-imposed prison is real, but sadly what we have here is mental illness combined with truth and desperation. Bless them.
If I believed that stuff, I'd want to distance it from these people too. They gave about as good an argument for magic and occultism as any other.
EggGod is a pedo fyi
His master looks underage
i wish people had more sympathy for the girl truly
Graffiti girl was so cool
These grown ass dudes are way too old to be hanging out with these girls and feeding them K and alcohol, slightly concerning. I would look into the age of some of these people.
But also this could be a hilarious comic book or something about a caveman (tf was egod doing with that light stand?), a viking (minimally melinated peep fan), and various other individuals picked out from random times throughout history all find themselves in 2026. And this is just the outcome of modern day Brainrot on the technologically virgin minds of these time travelers. The girl who didnt know who Chief Kief was is from present day though, shes some sort of foreign counter intelligence spy for sure
That last guy you interviewed with the sun glasses was very wise and level headed.
Cheers to that sober artist girl. She has the right message. Lotta these cats def on drugs.
❤️🩹
So I guess dystopian cyberpunk wasn't that far off
Ask the girl about how she was previously missing. Possibly the age difference between the two.
Confusion and frustration alright.
I dig these people for making their own culture and magick is real, but some of em just seem mentally unwell.
I don't think these dudes ever read Peter J. Carrol's Liber Psychonaut. That was an awful description of Chaos Magick.
Damn Andrew you’ve been interviewing some insufferable people lately
I do appreciate the work tho.
Love the raw format too ❤️🔥 nice work once again 🪄
Raw footage has a certain appeal to it for sure
Damn dude the zombie angel guy that remembers the exact day and time his mom died after she beat him and left him on the streets for nine years I stopped chewing my dinner when he was speaking, that hit me hard. I feel for these kids. Also they need some music videos cuz they’d be as the kids say: “fire.”
I am soooooo excited and surprised
This is some classic Callaghan shit, I love it. Also imma join this Kult right quick brb.
Fr fr this hit Classico style. I was kinda bummed on the 5 after other recent pieces no shade
shoutout to r/Vagabond UP EM FOR THE BUMS!
Aw shit Andrew these dudes don’t need more attention.
It’s more than just about them… it’s about the society that bred them. It’s a story that needs to be understood.
Golden news source. Ty Channel 5 your the GOAT
Crazy pull. Thanks Andrew!
What's the ROI on this content?
Bum-maxxing holla
