** Susan's EstablishingCharacterMoment is for her to be spotted secretly dancing to an instrumental pop song by (fictional) "John Smith and the Common Men", a 1960s pop group that she claims excitedly has gone from 19 to 2 in the charts. Here, it's used to illustrate that, despite being an alien, [[IJustWantToBeNormal She Just Wants To Be Normal]], especially since she's playing it on a futuristic radio and she is [[DancingWithMyself dancing alone]] - and her dancing, while not bad at all, looks [[UncannyValley very weird]].

* Naegi in ''VisualNovel/DanganRonpa'' informs us in his introductory narration that his favourite music is always 'whatever is at the top of the charts', stressing how much of a boring UnluckyEverydude he is.
