Exit Music For A Film Black Mirror

Is "Exit Music (For a Film)"... Actually Black Mirror: The Theme Song?

Okay, okay, hear me out. I know. This might be sacrilege to some. But I have a theory, and it's stuck in my head like a malfunctioning brain implant.

Radiohead's "Exit Music (For a Film)". Think about it. Isn't it secretly the perfect theme song for Black Mirror?

The Vibe Check: Totally Dystopian

The song is moody. It’s got this creeping sense of unease. It screams "technology gone wrong" even without any visuals.

The build-up? That's the slow, subtle creep of tech taking over our lives. The explosion? That's the inevitable horrifying consequence.

And Thom Yorke's voice? Pure, unadulterated digital dread. Honestly, try listening to it while watching a Black Mirror episode. I dare you.

Lyrics That Could Be Episode Titles

"Sing us a song of great despair". Could be about any episode, right? Maybe specifically "Fifteen Million Merits".

Then there's "Today we escape, we escape". Doesn't that just scream characters desperately trying to break free from their digital prisons?

Come on! I’m not crazy, am I? Okay, maybe a little. But I’m onto something here.

Unpopular Opinion Alert!

I know, I know. It was written for Romeo + Juliet. But let's be real. Shakespeare’s teen angst is basically a pre-cursor to social media drama.

And isn't Black Mirror just a modern, tech-infused version of classic human tragedies? Think about it!

Besides, Romeo + Juliet has guns. Guns are basically technology. So it all circles back, doesn’t it?

The Music Video (Sort Of)

Okay, there's no official "Exit Music" music video that directly ties to Black Mirror. But my brain is pretty good at making connections.

Just imagine a montage. Shots of screens, social media feeds, robotic arms, and people looking increasingly horrified.

Boom. Black Mirror intro sequence. Someone get Charlie Brooker on the phone!

Why This Matters (Kind Of)

Look, at the end of the day, it's just a song. And a TV show. But sometimes, things just *fit* perfectly.

"Exit Music (For a Film)" captures that feeling of impending doom. That technological anxiety that Black Mirror does so well.

Plus, imagine how cool it would be if they actually used it. Credits roll. Everyone is deeply disturbed. Perfection!

So, Am I Alone?

Is it just me? Am I the only one who thinks this? Probably. But that's okay. I'm used to having weird opinions.

But seriously, listen to the song again. Watch an episode of Black Mirror. Tell me you don't see the connection.

Maybe, just maybe, I've stumbled upon the ultimate Black Mirror fan theory. Or maybe I just need to lay off the caffeine. What do you think?

P.S. If Black Mirror ever uses this song, I expect royalties. Just kidding! (Mostly.)
