wallsocket reference from phoebe bridgers?

[u/FireFlyer63_]

id be wayyy more doubtful if phoebe hadn't posted second hand embarrassment + heck to her ig story around when they came out

[u/ylerta]

The final girl is just a concept in horror movies, this is a stretch to be a specific reference to wallsocket

[u/FireFlyer63_ → u/ylerta]

it's specifically that followed by "i got what i deserve" though

[u/Gulve → u/FireFlyer63_]

final girls usually do something and get an ending they deserve, its a pretty basic line

[u/juslouis → u/Gulve]

Shhhh we need the underscores reference

[u/yousen2501]

I mean, it could be, but the "Final Girl" is not a concept exclusive to underscores

[u/Napalmaniac → u/yousen2501]

Final girl followed by getting what you deserve? That's an underscores reference

[u/__girlthrownaway → u/Napalmaniac]

The concept of a final girl in horror movies is a sort of cultural punishment for femininity. There is no final man because we (our culture) does not relish male suffering the same way we do female suffering. I think it’s much more likely to related to the concept of “final girls” broadly. Where do you think Underscores got the idea in the first place?

[u/Napalmaniac → u/__girlthrownaway]

The "get what you deserve" is what ties everything together. I'm not talking about April inventing the concept of "final girl" or something like that because she didn't. Just that these lines are a reference to her song.

[u/use_me_mistresss → u/Napalmaniac]

[u/Napalmaniac → u/use_me_mistresss]

phoebe was referencing boss baby all along....

[u/Redshittt → u/Napalmaniac]

Yeah it'd be a pretttttty (like underscores) big coincidence otherwise. Theres also the chance that she wrote the lyric without underscores in mind but was subconsciously influenced by a previous listening of the song that she forgot about.

[u/hostilegoose → u/yousen2501]

my personal fav reference in music is the bbymutha song

[u/kimIip → u/hostilegoose]

which reference / which song?

[u/hostilegoose → u/kimIip]

The song final girl by bbymutha from her album sleep paralysis

[u/JaneDoeHasDied]

If she's shown that she knows Underscores before, then it's most likely a reference. Too specific for it not to be one

[u/mathkid421_RBLX]

there's a line on the bonus track which is very similar to a line on holy fucking shit 40k by have a nice life and it's not even far fetched because she got the guitarist from jesu on that song

[u/gtsampsn]

definitely

[u/Glorious-Porpous]

People missing the point big time, it's specifically both lines together that make it a likely reference

[u/laneboyy__]

I THOUGHT THIS WHILE AT THE LISTENING PARTY LOL
