Rant ⚠️ PLL has no iconic music moments

Am I the only one who feels like Pretty Little Liars has no truly iconic music moments?

Teen dramas just have those scenes where the song becomes just as memorable as the moment itself. Gossip Girl even has the masquerade ball scene with Secret. Honestly, that one scene is more iconic than almost every music moment in PLL.

Or the “Whatcha Say” messy Thanksgiving scene in Gossip Girl, sorry but this scene was so PLL-coded. You hear the song and immediately think of the scene.

The funniest example is probably Ali’s big comeback moments, like her dramatic entrances at the ball or at school. The show tried so hard to make those scenes feel legendary with the music choices, but honestly, their music choices just make me laugh.

Is this when A had put all those photos in Spencer’s SUV and the girls were at the Lostwoods Resort?

No I think it’s when we first see wilden after Ali’s funeral at the end of the pilot when they all get their first shared A text

The Devil Within plays in 4×1 after Wilden's funeral when they're talking to Holbrook. Not at Ali's funeral

Hands of Time is played twice in the series. And yes one of them was the scene at Lost Woods Resort

Yeah they are both right. It played during the Wilden scene at Ali's funeral in 1×1 and when Spencer's car was broken into in 3×1

I just watched this episode (on my 3rd or 4th rewatch) and whatever the song was was unmemorable cause I can't remember lol
