About I Hate Myself Because

I Hate Myself Because is the musical project of Ukrainian indie-rock musician Maksym Semeniuk, who rose to prominence in 2020 through Instagram. His music is characterized by emotional depth and rawness, featuring strong distorted guitars, eccentric vocals, and gritty garage rock, often in just-over-a-minute-long hits. As of January 2023, he had garnered a dedicated following of over 650,000 monthly listeners on Spotify and over 60 million streams across digital platforms. In a January 2025 interview, Semeniuk discussed his minimalist songwriting and recording process and highlighted the ongoing renaissance of the Ukrainian music scene, where artists like him are actively creating to preserve their culture.
