- "Gender, Genre, and the 'Indie Girl' Aesthetic" (Various Authors): While not exclusively about Wet Leg, papers on this topic often cite Wet Leg (2022) as a primary example of the shift from the "sad girl" indie trope (e.g., Phoebe Bridgers) to a more ironic, abrasive, and humorous female presentation.
- "The Acoustics of Streaming: Low-Fi and High-Fidelity in Modern Indie": This connects to the technical part of your request ("24Bit-44.1kHz FLAC").
