What if your average pop-culture obsessed, geeky troper were to be combined with a pretty, stuggling female musician on YouTube? Then perhaps you'd have the teen hormone-drenched songs of Allison Beth Goertz (born March 2, 1991).Combine the wit of Bo Burnham, a modern folk feel voice, and all the nostalgic and geeky pop-culture references you can handle with a wonderful high voice and an introspective, melancholy twist. Fan fiction-y songs often revolving around the inner termoil of fictional characters, unrequited love and adolescent angst. These expriences are undoubtedly mined from her personal life as great art often is (just gender swapped, as most of her characters are male). These songs are often Bathos, combining your sympathy for characters like Sam Weir from Freaks and Geeks with quiet one-liners. Sometimes she sings with back up singer Megan, Allie has been described by one Youtube commenter as being like "Jonathan Coulton sans beard", probably because of her unsual song subject matter, indie feel while still having a geeky appeal as fans can sympathize with their socially inept, obsessive, and sad protagonists.In addition to her musical work, she's co-hosted a couple of podcasts and served as a social media producer for @Midnight and an editor for MAD magazine during its short-lived West Coast reboot. She's also dabbled in acting, even appearing in an episode of Arrested Development.

Concept Album/New Sound Album: Sad Dance Songs, a Rick and Morty-related concept album with somewhat of an Electronic Music feel in contrast or her earlier, folkier songs.

Perfectly Cromulent Word: Her Simpsons-themed song "Everything's Coming Up Milhouse" references a made-up word but not the trope namer. ("Life has given you lemons, you've squozen your supply"). A Shout-Out to the episode "Lemon of Troy", this sound abounds with Simpsons quotes.

 Allie Goertz (Music) / int_e0804063
comment
Even Nerds Have Standards: Her song "Open Letter to Myself (Elitism)" finds her chiding herself for her own pop culture snobbery, which some might label as Hipster although she is aware of her so-called elitism and acknowledges it in a sort of self-deprecating way. She is not promoting pride in the obscure (or to be pious in one's interests), like a hipster would, but rather poking fun at it.
