"Stale Cupcakes" is a K.K. Slider song that first appears in Doubutsu no Mori e+. The song appears to be based off of sadcore, a variant of alternative rock originating from the 1980s. As the name suggest, songs within this genre are often slow and downbeat, which gives off a feeling of sadness. The aircheck is a quiet and melancholic song, with the only instrument being bells. The song's theme, as implied by its name, is sadness based upon the idea of forgotten snack foods.[1]
