"For the Damaged Coda" is a 2000 track by the indie rock band Blonde Redhead, which reached legendary internet status after being used as the theme for "Evil Morty" in the series Rick and Morty. The song's haunting, melancholic melody has become the universal soundtrack for moments of shocking betrayal, tragic irony, or a character’s descent into villainy. In meme culture, it is frequently used in video edits and static images to highlight a sudden shift from a normal situation to one of profound existential dread or dark realization. It serves as a powerful audio-visual shorthand for the moment the 'mask slips' or a hidden truth is finally revealed.
