* ConvectionSchmonvection: the episode where they go to Hawaii, Kimber gets tied up and left in an erupting volcano by Zipper, being that close to lava, falling in would be the least of her worries, not to mention rescuing her would have been next to impossible without specialized heat suits.

Added DiffLines:

* MusicGenreDissonance:
** Jem and the Holograms are considered as a rock band in-universe, but their music is plain pop.
** The Misfits met a similar mislabel: They look like tough glam punkers, and have been classified as PunkRock in some instances, despite of playing NewWave.
** The Stingers are clearly supposed to be a rock or metal band, and Riot looks like a glam rock or hair metal singer, however their music is pop.

* ScienceIsGood: The show features a lot of technology in its backdrop. The supercomputer Synergy was created by the Benton sister's deceased father, Techrat is very tech savvy, and Minx is as well.

* AbandonedWarChild: Ba Nee, one of the Starlight Girls, is a more G-rated example than most. She was born in Vietnam but was sent to America after her mother's death, and lives at a foster home that Jem And The Holograms run. She is obsessed with finding her DisappearedDad however the others consider him dead. All that Ba Nee knows is that he's a redhead, so she has a tendency to [[MistakenIdentity latch onto]] random redheaded men and think they're her father. [[spoiler:She finds her father in the finale. It turns out he married her mother in Vietnam however had to go back to war. He had amnesia due to an injury and didn't remember his wife. After being reunited with Ba Nee, they live together.]]

Added DiffLines:

* FlashyProtagonistsBlandExtras: All the major characters have brightly coloured EightiesHair but background characters usually don't. This normally wouldn't be unusual considering the setting, but it's been shown that [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair the characters are born with their hair colours]]. This trope's usage extends to family, such as Raya being the only one in her family with pink hair.

* LighterAndSofter: [[WesternAnimation/GIJoeARealAmericanHero The shows]] [[WesternAnimation/TheTransformers it shared]] [[WesternAnimation/{{Inhumanoids}} a universe with]]... well, they were DarkerAndEdgier for their time (especially ''Inhumanoids''). By comparison, this show never had major stakes or giant world-ending events-- it was mostly about bands and their feuds.

** Rio has ''purple'' hair, and Jerrica has a lovely purple hat that compliments it perfectly. It's apparently natural, since when he has stubble in ''Island of Deception'' it is also purple.
