I don't think a play on the saying 'what doesn't kill me makes me stronger' is a retro music reference.
It's from Nietzsche in 1888, so it's just a really retro reference in general. Interestingly, Nintendo was founded the following year!
It might not be but it's what played in my head so idgaf lol
I’m pretty sure the saying predates that song by at least a century
Omg pedants are tedious.. 🥱🥱🥱
At no point did I claim anything predates anything else I was just trying to make a silly joke it's not that serious, holy shit..
