It is possible this all happens in the same universe as [[Franchise/GiJoe]]. The large amount of people able to pull off LatexPerfection so good it can fool close friends and family in the episodes "The Fan" and "One Jem Too Many" is rather strange. Perhaps Zarana decided Cobra wasn't paying enough and decided to open the ultimate acting school. Clash was once if her students. The ones playing the Starlight Girls were little people looking to get work as stunt doubles for child actors, but this scheme would provide some quick money.

[[WMG: Certain characters were named after bands/songs]]
It's only logical for a show about music after all:
* Rio-Named After the Duran Duran song/album
* Aja-Named after the Steely Dan song/album
* Clash-Named after the band
* Rapture-Named after the Blondie song

The conflict from "The Bands Break Up" then probably stemmed from Stormer trying to build on that and introducing more quiet, reflective songs to their repertoire, which the other three obviously weren't ready for.

[[WMG: The Misfits were originally assembled by Eric Raymond out of strangers, but they later became friends and grew into a band that's their own creative force.]]
In the first couple of episodes the Misfits don't seem to care or know much about each other (Roxy and Stormer didn't even know Pizazz was rich) also during this time their songs project a much more aggressive and negative image than their later songs, many of leaned more into being about independence and inner strength, and some of which were surprisingly tongue-in-cheek (like "Misfits in Hawaii"). Also later, while they aren't exactly touchy-feely with each other on a regular basis it's repeatedly shown and hinted that they do like and care about each other (such their segment of "Our Time is Know" where the other three Misfits pick up a forlorn looking Pizazz at the beach, which ends with the lot of them hugging each other.
The most logical in-universe explanation is that Eric Raymond hired the three original Misfits to be members of his new "Bad Girl" image group and possibly had their first several songs written for them with that in mind.
After Pizazz's father bought them their own record company the creative control of the Misfits shifted from Eric to the three girls themselves,with Stomer taking on song writing duties leading to the more positive and funny Misfits songs later in the series. Through that the Pizazz, Roxy and Stormer gradually discovered that they do enjoy each other's company and do care about each other as friends.

* Clash and Video's rivalry stems not from being on opposite sides, but from abusive familial relationships - Video and Clash often fought when they visited each other. Danse sugercoats their rivalry in the letters to make them seem less like blood-sworn enemies and more like goofy rivals.

[[WMG: The show is actually an adaptation of Danse's heavily-sugarcoated correspondence with her adoptive family]]
This one's inspired by a theory for ''Series/{{LazyTown}}'' listed on it's own [=WMG=] page. Giselle "Danse" Dvorak is a young dancer who was raised by adoptive parents after her biological father gave her up for adoption. She got a job as a backup dancer with The Holograms after she met them at an awards ceremony, and expected working with them to be a dream job. As soon as she got on the road, she is greeted with an even more tumultuous relationship between the band members, a more distressed Jerrica Benton, and more behavioral and emotional issues the Holograms and Misfits had than in canon. She tries to stop the Holograms from falling apart, but gets hindered by Eric Raymond and the Misfits. However, Eric Raymond's villainy is the end result of a troubled childhood and being diagnosed with a behavioral disorder at a young age, and all three/four Misfits have more darker pasts than in canon, including Pizzazz having been abused by her parents and Stormer struggling with her sexuality. In between thwarting Eric Raymond's schemes, Danse also learns about the Holograms' darker pasts, such as Kimber, much like Stormer, struggling with her sexuality and familial conflicts within the Benton family. She also learns that Jerrica wasn't the original Jem, but the original Jem was a high-tech lip-syncing performer portrayed by both Benton parents, with Emmett as the "body" and Jacqui as the "voice", hence why Emmett kept Synergy and everything else that he created for the Jem project secret from his children. Finally, it's time for Danse to tell about her time on the road with her adoptive family. However, she knows they would absolutely not let her continue working with the Holograms if they knew what was actually going on. So, she begins writing letters that downplay what goes on heavily, with various elements of the show stemming from the way she writes the letters:
* Jem being a FriendToAllChildren is her trying to make sure her parents believe a very kind spirit is keeping an eye out for her (she already is, but her mood swings, fears and stress often come in the way)
* The music video breaks represent Danse describing concepts for the Holograms or Misfits' videos she learned from the production staff for them.
* Rapture being a NewAge con artist is Danse sugarcoating Rapture's desperate attempts to earn extra cash, as she isn't well-paid by Riot.
* Clash and Video's rivalry stems not from being on opposite sides, but from abusive familial relationships - Video and Clash often fought when they visited each other. Danse sugercoats their rivalry in the letters to make them seem less like blood-sworn enemies and more like goofy rivals.
* The Limp Lizards are actually an all-female HardcorePunk band. Danse doesn't like the genre and their DreadfulMusician portrayal she gives them in her letters is her making subtle insults towards their music.
* The NoCelebritiesWereHarmed versions of 80s artists commonly featured are actually Danse hiding encounters with their real equivalents, thinking her family would think claiming she mingled with, say, Music/{{Prince}}, was her lying.
Small details like Rio Pacheco's outbursts, the KarmaHoudini nature of certain characters and more darker schemes by the Misfits and Eric Raymond are accidental hints about what's actually going on in the band members' lives that Danse subconsciously wrote in.
