comment
The Cameo: The speaker from "Lemon Boy" returns in the "Cavetown Remix" of Brye Sebring's viral hit "LEMONS", where Cavetown adds new verses to the song from the boy's perspective. Since Brye grew up a Cavetown fan this qualifies as Ascended Fangirl.

Vocal Evolution: Cavetown had a high pitched voice in his early songs due to being a young teenager, and his voice deepened by his later work.

Lyric Video: The official video for Home is also a lyric video, since it consists of someone flipping through a pop-up book containing the song's lyrics. It's also a Oner.

Trans Tribulations
 Cavetown (Music) / int_6205320f
comment
Trans Tribulations: The theme of songs like "This Is Home" and "Dysphoric". Notable that many fans interpreted "Boys Will Be Bugs" as a song about a closeted trans girl, while in Real Life Robin is a trans man (which means his relationship to toxic masculinity as a teen was a bit more complicated).

Men Don't Cry

comment
Men Don't Cry: The Troubled Teen featured in "Boys Will Be Bugs" reflects that people are expecting him to be stereotypically mature because he's a man, including shrugging off genuinely hurtful insults and not crying (or even feeling sadness at all).

comment
Troubled Teen: "Boys Will Be Bugs" is about a boy who just turned fourteen struggling with toxic masculinity. Since his classmates are mean and he doesn't fit in, he sees bugs as his friends instead since they're not judgmental and he wants to be a part of their world. "Lemon Boy" seems to be about a teenager with a mental illness that he refuses to treat because it's been with him so long, and he doesn't know what he would do without it.

comment
Trick Dialogue: In the second verse of "Boys Will Be Bugs", it seems like the protagonist is talking to a classmate ("I skipped class to sit with you", "I really like your spotty sweater"). The rest of the verse shows that he's talking to a ladybug instead, since he feels closer to bugs than his fellow teenagers.
