* VillainousAdviceSong: Fitting his AntiRoleModel persona, Eminem has numerous songs like this.
** "Guilty Conscience" by Music/{{Eminem}} ft. Music/DrDre has Slim Shady as the voice of various character's evil impulses, while Dre attempts to talk them out of it.
** "Role Model" is a song of Slim Shady describing all the stupid things he does and telling his child audience to copy him - "''Do exactly what the song says! Smoke weed, take pills, drop out of school, kill people.''"
** In "Bad Influence", he urges his teenage fans to commit suicide. "''Go ahead, get mad and do it! Just pull the plug!''"
** In "Who Knew?", "''Take drugs, rape sluts, make fun of gay clubs, men who wear make-up...''"
** Eminem also has a couple of songs where he tries to give his fans good advice. In "Square Dance", he urges them to avoid getting drafted, and "Mosh" attempts to rally them into revolution.

* MovingTheGoalposts: "These Demons" has part of a verse dedicated to this. He cites that people want him to change but not change, get angry without getting too angry, and to get older without aging. Em even says "They keep movin' the goalpost, don't they?" about how the standards he's expected to meet are impossible, in part because the standards keep changing.

During this period around his teenage years, Mathers discovered a love of rap and would practice it as often as he could, his iconic stage name a copyright-friendly evolution of the first name he rapped under (M&M).
