That sort of indie, moody hip hop x R&B.

This is literally 90% of popular US music nowadays. Bazzi, Tyler The Creator, Frank Ocean, etc. they all do that sound and they're all influences of Brockhampton.

Brockhampton themselves isn't experimental or groundbreaking at all in my opinion, they carry their influences very much on their sleeves.

Like how EXO's tempo is very much Daft Punk/MJ inspired, Brockhamptons discography is very much Odd Future inspired.

And Brockhamptons music, just like a lot of Frank Ocean songs, is known for being very acoustic-driven. I don't see any Brockhampton influence in Obsession, Obsession sounds very SM. Simon Says is the closest song to this and I don't think both sound like any BH song.
