If you grew up in the late-2000s DIY emo or screamo scene — trading MP3s on MySpace, downloading split EPs from MediaFire, or collecting obscure 7″ records — the name I Shot Myself probably rings a bell.

Between 2004 and 2012, the phrase "I shot myself" was not typically a cry for help; rather, it was a declarative artistic statement. It referred to self-portrait photography (selfies before the iPhone) taken with digital cameras, often gritty, unedited, and uploaded to personal blogs or early photo-sharing sites like Flickr, Photobucket, or the now-defunct Webshots.
Several underground art collectives used the "IShotMyself" moniker as a series title. Most notably, between 2006 and 2009, a low-budget web series or art project circulated on Vimeo and independent film festivals under the working title "I Shot Myself: A Study in Solitude." It featured rotating subjects who filmed themselves in their bedrooms for 24 hours straight. No known full copy exists in mainstream databases.
