GothBoiClique (also abbreviated as GBC) is an American emo rap collective based in Los Angeles, California. It was formed in 2012 by Wicca Phase Springs Eternal, Cold Hart, and Horse Head. The group's name comes from a beat that Cold Hart sent to Wicca Phase Springs Eternal. In 2016, the group released a mixtape, ''Yeah It's True''.

The founding line-up consisted of Wicca Phase, Cold Hart and Horse Head, taking their name from a beat titled "Gothboiclique" that Cold Hart had produced, which when WPSE read the name he jokingly tweeted "RT if you’re goth boi clique". The members of the group continued mostly independently for the next two years, despite continuing to gain members. In 2014, the members met each other in person, and soon after GBC became a sub-group of the newly founded hip hop collective Thraxxhouse, a Seattle-based offshoot of Raider Klan. This led to

On September 25, 2016, Lil Peep announced that he had officially joined the group soon after the release of his mixtape ''Hellboy''.
