ⓘ This lostwave is classified as partially (un)solved.
Digital Girl was a lostwave hoax, fabricated by haditonvinyl on WatZatSong and Reddit.
History
Digital Girl would be uploaded to WatZatSong on September 30, 2023, by haditonvinyl.
The OP claimed that they had found it on an old CD originally owned by their dad, which contained an array of similar 90s and 00s music. This sparked one of the largest searches in lostwave history and Digital Girl became a well-known lostwave for that time period. The OP of the snippet, haditonvinyl, was very active in the search, constantly answering questions and even fabricating stories and false leads to keep followers on edge. He also created a Discord server for the search.
On April 2 or 3, 2024, a Reddit user u/AvantStory posted a video of them playing a CD of a song attributed to artist “emails”. Upon playing the CD, it because apparent that Digital Girl was not on it, whilst the vibe of the music was the same.
Just 50 minutes later, u/NotSureHowBigYouAre responded to the post claiming they had found the songs on AdvantStory’s CD on Soulseek, with two songs attributed to emails.
When investigating NotSureHowBigYouAre’s account, searchers found that the account had been inactive for five years and furthermore, they had a post on their profile called “OnVinyl” which was later deleted. From here on, the search begins transitioning into a hoax investigation.
More cracks in hadinonvinyl’s story included him giving three contradictory recording dates, and the fact that emails’ account had changed its username five times.
Discovery
On April 4, emails uploaded “Lost In The Code” on their YouTube channel, along with several other songs in album “Digital World”. This satisfied the community and the lostwave was briefly considered to have been solved.
On the next day, haditonvinyl confessed that Digital Girl was a hoax.
Lyrics
In a digital land, she's trapped pixel by pixel
Digital girl, longing for something real
Beneath the glowing screen, her hearts in a swirl
Searching for love, a connection she can feel
Digital girl, lost in the code
Yearning for love in the universe she's known
She dreams of a user who can break the mold
Bring her to life where her heart can be shown
Digital girl
Digital girl
Digital girl, lost in the code
In a digital world where her heart can be shown
Digital girl
Digital girl
Digital girl, lost in the code
In a digital world where her heart can be shown
Digital girl
Digital girl
Digital girl, lost in the code
In a digital world where her heart can be shown
