History Music / Millionaires

!! '''Tropes Cranked UpToEleven by Millionaires''':

* TruthInTelevision: Played with, very much in the Creator/ParisHilton vein. The Millionaires stage persona is a mix of their real personalities but with other aspects deliberately TurnedUpToEleven for clowning and parody purposes. There's little doubt the love of alcohol, party dancing and the DGAF attitude were the real girls.

* GoldDigger: While a lot of their songs imply they are already [[RichBitch Rich Bitches], "Hey Rich Boy" is an attempt to get a rich boy's attention.

* LighterAndSofter: Believe it or not they did have a couple tamer songs. Originaly "Martinis and Mixed Feelings" was considered the softer song but later songs like "The One" and "Stay the Night" are lighter still.

%% * MoneyFetish

* RichBitch: Played up in several songs including the music video for "Stay the Night" where they get lots of money from the Green's Daddy.

* BadGirlSong: Several songs play this up. "Boss Bitch" is about being in charge and how they DGAF. "Getaway" is about going off on a girls trip where if you kiss someone else their boyfriends will never ever know.

%% * GenkiGirl
%% * GoldDigger

* MockMillionaire: Essentially a part of the band's name. A lot of their songs are money based and the music video for "Stay the Night" and the cover of "Bling Bling Bling" play this up. In real life they were pretty much upper middle class to the point they attended Catholic school but Melissa and Allison's mother had to dip into savings to afford to get all three girls on an overnight flight to New York.
* MsFanservice: The girls had no problem dressing procatively when they wanted to. While Melissa suffered some body shaming in the early years at present she is very prone to showing off her body.

* MoneySong: In fact, their first song ever was called "I like Money". There's also "Just Got Paid, let's Get Laid".
* OdeToIntoxication: "Alcohol". Many other songs mention it, too.

* TechnicianVersusPerformer: The Millionaires are probably one of the examples that the difference could bludgeon someone to death. On a technical view their singing vocals have never been that great (Dani would be considered the best on a technical level) but with their ballet background and passion they are ridiculously addicting performers. When playing sets around more reserved bands and more technical bands, the Millionaires stuck out like a sore thumb as they bounced around the stage like they owned it. On a stage with a crowd that came to see them, they pretty much cause the whole place to dance, on a stage where people just happen to find them most the crowd just kind of stand there slowly realizing the songs are catchy. The Millionaires have also been a long time target of places both in real life and online where people are more inclined to think technical skills are the most important thing to being "good". These places contained people who have acted with outright hostility to them and hate for anyone who could possibly like them.

One day in 2007, scene girls Melissa Marie Green, Alisson Green, and Dani Gore booted up their Macs (presumably with the intention of uploading pictures they took of themselves in the mirror with their cellphones onto their Myspace accounts) and decided to screw around a bit with Garage Band. With their current audience in mind, they wrote a [[StealthParody deliberately obnoxious]] song parodying stereotypical GoldDigger cam whores, known as "I Like Money," and then released it as a single. As expected, many detractors arose, but they also found that an unexpectedly large number of listeners actually liked it. So they said why not, named themselves "Millionaires" after the attitude espoused in their "hit" single, and began writing more of such songs.

* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: "Gangstar" plays with this with them singing how they'd rather have a criminal boyfriend than a rock star. Based on their real life dating history this one veers far from TruthInTelevision though.

%% * MoneySong: In fact, their first song ever.

* RichBitch: Played up in several songs including the music video for "Stay the Night" where they get lots of money from the Green Daddy.

* TakeThat: "Talk Shit" is a very deliberate diss track designed at their haters
* TechnicianVersusPerformer: The Millionaires are probably one of the most polarizing examples of the debate in this trope. On a technical view their singing vocals have never been that great (Dani would be considered the best on a technical level) but with their ballet background and passion they are ridiculously addicting performers. Comparing stage sets of them at Warped made the difference more notiacble where more technical bands with very still and reserved setups and the Millionaires who bounce around the stage like they own it can't look any more different. This also plays out negatively in places real and internet based where technical details are most serious business, the Millionaires are loathed and wished gone.
* TruthInTelevision: Played with, very much in the Creator/ParisHilton vein. The Millionaires stage persona is a mix of their real personalities but with other aspects deliberately TurnedUpToEleven for clowning. The love of alcohol was very much real. The DGAF part was real.

In 2009, Dani Gore left the band to pursue a career in Indiepop (the band, Mr. Downstairs, is ''quite'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7dcQyh7ZHWk good]]), but Melissa and Allison are still going strong, having gone from obscurity to quite a great deal of success with their audacious approach to music. They now hold their ''own'' tours around the United States, occasionally to England, and with fandom in other countries lobbying to get them to visit.
Their first feature-length album ''Tonight'' was released in 2013. As they said in their debut song, "Millionaires are here to stay."
