** Ironically, Deanna has also talked about being the opposite of a gatekeeping purist and unironically enjoying the easy-listening and "dad rock" songs that played when she worked in a dental office as a teen, expressing sincere appreciation for bands her fellow punk musicians dunk on like Music/TheEagles and the Music/RedHotChiliPeppers. (Her [=YouTube=] channel shows the band happily covering poppy '80s and '90s songs like "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" by Music/TearsForFears and "Losing a Whole Year" by Music/ThirdEyeBlind.) Hilariously, with "Library of Broken Bindings" and "Bottle Lightning Twice" she seems to be intentionally getting into the BedroomPop trend several years late while Gen Z influencers like Creator/WillowSmith and Creator/OliviaRodrigo are getting into pop punk.

Cool Loser TRS cleanup, has been renamed to Unconvincingly Unpopular Character and is a YMMV audience reaction.


* CoolLoser: The image Deanna projects in her songs, although to what extent she's trying to actually make herself look "cool" varies greatly. The second LP's songs "Recluse In the Making", "Coming In Last" and "Dragged Across the Finish Line" explicitly say that despite her career success she still feels like this.

Nerd is now a redirect to an index per TRS. We also don't trope real people unless they are portraying a character. Trope their work, not them


* {{Nerd}}: Deanna has joked about how musicians in the punk scene are meant to have nothing but contempt for school and book smarts but she was actually an honor student in high school (who flamed out in college), and her first tattoos on her arm were nerdy references like a bacteriophage or an illustration of the golden ratio. Her song lyrics sometimes have GeniusBonus references for fellow nerds in the audience.

** Deanna is also a high school math nerd, and the title of ''Rhombithian'' is SesquipedalianLoquaciousness for "rhombus-shaped". The band all got rhombus-shaped tattoos to celebrate the album's release.

The band all got rhombus-shaped tattoos to celebrate the album's release.

Up To Eleven is a defunct trope


* VictoriousLoser: The theme of "Dragged Across the Finish Line"; taken UpToEleven with the music video, parodying a [[SportsStories sports movie]] with the {{Aesop}} that the "real prize" was Deanna and her LoveInterest finding each other.
