Pop artist Slayyyter posts photo with director Richard Linklater using song-lyric pun
Singer-songwriter Slayyyter (@slayyyter) shared a backstage photo with filmmaker Richard Linklater after her Austin show, captioned “richard we should linklater.” The line is a direct callback to a lyric in her music (“he wanna fuck slayyyter / richard, we should link later”), which has long been a fan meme tying her work to Linklater (director of *Dazed and Confused*, the film that inspired her stage name). It is circulating as light fan celebration of the real-life meetup fulfilling the pun.
