The 'Fallout Songs' meme celebrates the stark, ironic juxtaposition between the bleak, radioactive wasteland of the Fallout universe and its soundtrack of cheerful mid-20th-century pop, jazz, and swing. Ever since the first game used The Ink Spots' 'Maybe,' the series has been defined by this 'retro-futuristic' dissonance. Fans use these memes to highlight the absurdity of surviving a mutant attack while listening to Bing Crosby or to express how a specific song evokes a feeling of nostalgic dread. With the massive success of the Fallout TV series, these memes have resurfaced, focusing on the iconic 'crawl' intros and the inescapable charm of Diamond City or Mojave Radio.
