The film's use of music is equally noteworthy, with a soundtrack that blends hip-hop, country, and blues to create a truly unique sonic landscape. The score, composed by various artists, perfectly captures the mood and atmosphere of each scene, from the jarring discord of "Fantastic, Baby!" to the melancholic beauty of "Homemade Cigarette."

The most iconic (and infamous) moment. A boy eats spaghetti and milk in a grimy bathtub while his mother watches. Often clipped on YouTube with titles like "Weirdest movie scene ever" – many Arabic compilation channels include it.

Solomon and Tummler wear bunny masks and hit a dead cat with a baseball bat. Often clipped as shorthand for the film’s tone.

In the years since its release, "Gummo" has developed a devoted cult following, inspiring a new generation of filmmakers and artists. Its influence can be seen in the work of directors like Richard LaGravenese and Harmony Korine's own subsequent projects, such as "Kids" and "Milk."
