!!Tropes with The Correspondents
----
* ElectroSwing: The genre of their music falls squarely in this category, though some have argued that it also has elements of AlternativeHipHop and DrumAndBass.
* QuintessentialBritishGentleman: Mr. Bruce is often dressed in a fancy suit with a bow tie, glasses and slicked back hair, he comes across as a prim and proper chap.
* MinimalistCast: Ignoring the fact that its just the two of them, their music videos usually features a maximum of two people at a time, set in a WhiteVoidRoom (occasionally changed to black or grey)and minimal props, the special effects pushing it into the realm of [[{{Absurdism}} absurdist]] theatrics.
