* LyricalDissonance: While a common theme in Fender's songs, "Aye" is a notable example, its peppy clapping beat contrasts Sam's angry lyrics about all the terrible things that have occured throughout history to today.

* CallBack: In "The Dying Light", the phrase "Dead boys" is mentioned, calling back to the song of the same name. Fitting since both songs are about mental health and suicide.

!! I can trope to anyone, I can trope to anyone. Can't trope to you:
* BittersweetSeventeen: The TitleTrack of "Seventeen Going Under" is about Sam's life when he was 17, although it focuses more on the bitter than sweet, mainly due to his mother's financial struggles.
* ConceptAlbum: Besides exploring his childhood and how it impacted him today in some of the songs, it also deals with his outward nihilism and internal self-examination.
* GenerationalTrauma: In "The Dying Light", he mentions that he's scared to have kids, mainly due to not wanting them to inherit his depression.
* GenerationXerox: Sam sings about how his dad looks almost exactly like him in "Spit of You". He also describes himself as "a mirrored picture of my old man" in the TitleTrack.
-->''[='=]Cause one day that'll be your forehead I'm kissing\\
And I'll still look exactly like you''
* YouAreNumberSix: A dehumanising example is used in "Seventeen Going Under" to highlight his mother's financial troubles and how the Department for Work and Pensions didn't seem to care about her.
-->''I see my mother\\
The DWP see a number''
----
-->''But I'm damned if I give up tonight\\
I must repel the dying light\\
For Mum and Dad and all my pals\\
For all the ones who didn't make\\
The night''
