Atypical is a Netflix comedy-drama that follows Sam Gardner, a teenager on the autism spectrum, and his family as they navigate school, work and relationships. Its gentle opening music became familiar to viewers over the show's run, and short clips of it later circulated on soundboards and in fan edits. Fans reuse it because it instantly recalls the series without needing dialogue, making it a shorthand for warmth, routine and family life in videos about the show and in everyday montages inspired by its tone.
