* '''Parodied''': Frontman's grand entry is as dark and dramatic as possible, with a smoke machine and all... then he rolls in a wimpy piano on wheels, sits down, and plays a tune peppy enough to make Creator/ScottJoplin sound like angsty punk rock in comparison. The audience roars and headbangs in excitement.

* '''Invoked''': ???
Frontman, an emo artist with fitting looks, wants to start making more relatively gentle music such as hard rock, but he knows that people associate his aesthetic with emo and not hard rock. Still, he is aware that some people go with the aesthetic anyway regardless of what music they play, so he follows suit.
* '''Exploited''': ???
Frontman is an emo artist who wants to change to regular hard rock. However, he knows that both emo aesthetics and hard rock music are popular, so he keeps the emo aesthetic while playing hard rock to maximize popularity.
* '''Defied''': ???
Frontman wants to go from emo music to hard rock, but he knows that emo and hard rock have different aesthetics. To make sure that people aren't confused by his new style of music, he changes his style to something which may fit hard rock more.
