Fandom
Songs in Fanworks
A number of Roan's songs focus on the experiences of being queer, particularly sapphic, and fans have used those songs to create fan vids and TikTok edits, as well as putting the lyrics into fan art and web weaving.
Femslash pairings where a common trope is internalised homophobia or denial of sexuality are popular subjects for the song, Good Luck, Babe!, while the song Casual is often used in pairings where fandom interpret them as having a 'situationship' which leads to tension between the characters.

TikTok
Shortly after Kamala Harris was announced to be running as the democratic presidential candidate, creators on TikTok began to create edits of clips of Kamala Harris to the song Femininomenon[1]. Some of these received millions of views and interactions, leading to the Harris' campaign creating their own edit to the song, and generating discussions of the edits and the impact of them potentially on engagement with the upcoming elections on other social media platforms and in the mainstream media[2].
