* TrueArtIsAngsty: Half the point of "I'm Gay" is to argue against this. (The other half is, well, [[HaveAGayOldTime you know]] . . .)
** By and large the band outright defies this as most of their songs are incredibly upbeat in nature, and even the more cynical songs have an underlying feeling of hope.

* PeripheryDemographic: Despite many of their songs covering very adult content, they have a lot of teenaged fans, due to them having done a song for ''Film/SkyHigh2005'', which many of those teenagers grew up with, and because they did the theme song for ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'', which has a PeripheryDemographic of its own. Lampshaded in "Friends Chicks Guitars."

* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForKids: The band did the theme song for Phineas and Ferb (and lead singer Jaret Reddick even voices a character on the show), and also did songs for lots of kids movies, so they must be kid-friendly, right? Well, not really. Though they did {{Bowdlerize}} some of their songs for Radio Disney airplay, the unedited versions of the songs aren't really kid-friendly (the unedited version of "High School Never Ends" for example mentions sex and drugs in the chorus alone), and that applies to their albums in general, lots of songs about sex, drinking, and profanity.

*** There are now several different remakes that change the song to "2005" parodying people in their late 20s and 30s who grew up listening to Bowling For Soup and their contemporaries.
