Constructor's Note
If this were a meta, the answer would be this month's midi theme. You can figure out the rest. Have fun! :)

    i was looking for the meta box to type in banana... i wanted to feel smart for once 😛

      Took me a second to catch the theme but nicely done! I believe there's a typo in 4D - should it be "cartoon" instead?

        I always seem to have that one that sneaks through. Thanks, nice catch, and fixed 😉

            Fun fact at 1A! Not sure who falls into the category of a "bodybuilding hipster rabbit" but I know that hipsters love hoppy beer! I appreciate that you didn't circle or highlight the banana-words, and left it up to the solver to figure it out. Clean grid!
