* CutSong: A version of the song "Burn You Up, Burn You Down", featuring Music/TheBlindBoysOfAlabama, appeared in the initial pressings of ''Up'' given out to the press for review, but was then ultimately deleted from the album prior to release, likely because it didn't quite match the more aggressive tone of the rest of the album. The song would eventually appear on the GreatestHitsAlbum ''Hit'', in a very different mix, with a sound that more resembled the song's later appearance on ''Big Blue Ball''.

Realized that that's not actually what Society Marches On is for.


* SocietyMarchesOn: In 2002, S&M lovers and transgender people really were considered taboo enough to be regularly exploited by tabloid talk show entertainers like the ones "The Barry Williams Show" criticizes. Since TheNewTens, however, both have made considerable headway in mainstream acceptance (with ''Literature/FiftyShadesOfGray'' in 2011 destigmatizing S&M and Caitlyn Jenner's coming out in 2015 energizing the trans rights movement), and while trans people are still heavy victims of prejudice and oppression, they're no longer seen as just fodder for trash TV by a large portion of western society.

* AuthorExistenceFailure: Gabriel ended up taking so long to finish the album that one of his guest vocalists, Pakistani Qawwali singer Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, ''died'' before he had the chance to record his vocals for "Signal to Noise"; Gabriel ultimately was forced to isolate archival audio from [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B5KcEy3y23w an early live performance of the song]] with Khan, thus turning the studio version into a PosthumousCollaboration.
