The music in The O.C. became a defining part of its identity and cultural influence. Jeff Buckley’s Hallelujah added depth to emotional scenes like Marissa’s death, turning them into unforgettable moments. Phantom Planet’s California became the show’s anthem and set the mood for its coastal setting. The show introduced bands like Death Cab for Cutie and made indie music mainstream for a generation. The soundtrack felt as important as the story, and resonated with its audience. Without the soundtrack, The O.C. would not have achieved the same emotional and cultural impact.
