* UsefulNotes/{{Dada}}: Back when Andrew and Ben were still in college, their "performances" would include things like erecting a tent on stage and smoking pot in it, or simply leaving halfway through the show while they played a prerecorded tape of their music.

The entire song, but *especially* after the show first verse: you hear some nice, melodic guitars for a while and then they played a prerecorded tape of their music.abruptly interject with "Go fuck yourself! / You heard me right!"

* InsultBackfire: "Little Dark Age" was meant mainly as a TakeThat to people they disagreed with at the time of the 2016 American Presidential Election. Not only were the intended targets unimpressed, they seized upon the song as a backing track for a wide range of counter-cultural memes.

* SocialMediaIsBad: "She Works Out Too Much" characterizes an ailing relationship in part through the exhausting use of social media. The narrator finds himself tired of constantly keeping up with his lover's workout selfies, realizing the process has jaded himself to their relationship as being superficial and/or tainted by his own neurotic pickiness.
-->Don't take it the wrong way\\
I can never keep up\\
Sick of liking your selfies\\
Should've gone with my gut\\
Maybe I'm in a movie\\
Maybe I'm out to lunch\\
But I'm constantly swiping and tapping\\
It's never relaxing, I need a new routine

MGMT, formerly known as The Management, are an American neo-psychedelic rock band from Brooklyn, New York. They started out making trippy, catchy pop music before becoming an equally trippy pastiche of 60s and 70s rock with ''Congratulations'', and then moving on to more experimental and electronic- influenced music in their 2013 album ''MGMT'', before (somewhat) returning full circle to catchy pop with 2018's ''Little Dark Age''.
