The specific catchphrase driving the Misery Girl meme — "dad play Misery," or the fuller "dada turn on dat misery" — a running gag line implying an alt/goth girl is begging her father to play the song "Misery" by Pupsies, with an ageplay undertone that's part of the joke's edge.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"The caption was just dad play Misery over a random alt girl clip."
LORE & ORIGIN
The exact phrase that anchors the broader Misery Girl format (see the related entry), spreading across TikTok in August 2026 as the caption/audio line paired with alt-aesthetic girl content. Distinct from Misery Girl itself, which names the visual archetype being mocked — "dad play Misery" is specifically the catchphrase doing the joke's work.
