* DesignatedVillain: Mina. Sure she helps Trina with her schemes and is labeled as the secondary antagonist, but she's one of the nicest characters in the show and rarely, if ever, acts mean to anyone. In-Universe, even Grojband doesn't see Mina to be near Trina's levels of rude.

** While Creator/LyonSmith, Corey's voice actor, is a good singer, he does an outstanding performance for [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vy8iV7TNGGA “No I Won't Play”]] in "Six Strings of Evil".
*** Another one for Lyon is “Yesterday” in "Rockersize". Fans are impressed with how he hit the last note in the song.

* QuirkyWork: There is so much weird stuff going on in Peaceville and the surrealism, while not up to ''WesternAnimation/RegularShow'' standards, is still pretty high. You can expect every episode to have its own WTF moment and that's not even counting Trina writing in her diary... And the show’s fast-paced energy adds to this, meaning episodes can be quite a wild ride sometimes.

* DracoInLeatherPants:A good chunk of fans see Trina as an innocent victim of Corey's antics for having her life ruined by him and his band for the sake of getting lyrics from her diary. This ignores the fact that she's a massive {{Jerkass}} to everyone except for Nick Mallorey (who is implied to be the reason why she became mean in the first place), and often instigates conflict even when Corey and his gang are minding their own business, going as far as to even {{DisproportionateRetribution kill them over the pettiest slight}}. A lot of the diary scenes are a form of her getting her{{LaserGuidedKarma comeuppance}}, and even then she isn't particularly aware or even care about the fact that her brother's used her diary for lyrics.

** The show, while enjoyable from the start, really started showing how good it could really be with episodes like "Wish Upon a Jug", "All You Need is Cake"[[note]]both produced later than episodes like "Smash Up Terby" and "Monster of Rock" [[OutOfOrder despite airing before them]][[/note]], and the full half-hour "Dreamreaver". After the latter episode, the series started to really cement itself and become clear on what it wanted to do as most of the elements of EarlyInstallmentWeirdness are downplayed or abandoned by the episode "Six Strings of Evil", which was seen by many as the best episode up to that point.

* ItsShortSoItSucks: The series' 20-second intro gets this reaction from some when compared to the originally planned one-minute version, especially with WordOfGod confirming the longer version was cut due to ExecutiveMeddling wanting more commercial airtime.

* {{Narm}}: While "You're So Untrue" is widely agreed by fans to be one of the best songs in the show and a SugarWiki/CrowningMomentOfAwesome for Laney, some find it difficult to take her seriously when she's jumping up and down, especially due to how short she is.

* DesignatedHero: The band (especially Corey) can come off as this. They intentionally make Trina emotional in ways depending on the episode just to get song lyrics from her diary. Sure, Trina is a BigSisterBully/AlphaBitch to everyone, but that doesn't justifying the band plagiarizing songs from her.

* AudienceAlienatingPremise: The premise of Grojband is that the title band's leader, unable to come up with his own lyrics, creates his songs by driving his bratty teenage sister crazy every episode and then stealing her diary for lyrics. Many balked at the show from the extremely unsympathetic-sounding premise, and those who were able to get past found an extremely offbeat, lightning-paced series with a lot of SurrealHumor, NoFourthWall, and a StrictlyFormula. The result was a very niche cult show with as many people who deemed it one of the most stupidly awful and nonsensical animated series ever created as there were those who adored it as a brilliantly unique and creative show that was TooGoodToLast. The divisive character designs of co-creator Todd Kauffman (who also did the character designs for the first season of Total Drama, another show that has received polarized reception for its character designs) added to this.

* AudienceAlienatingPremise: The While ''Grojband'' has acquired a solid cult following, its lack of success and popularity compared to Creator/FreshTV's [[WesternAnimation/TotalDrama previous]] [[WesternAnimation/{{Sixteen}} shows]] can be attributed to this.

Many balked at the to write songs) were confused to find [[CreatorsOddball a show from the extremely unsympathetic-sounding premise, that was nothing like Fresh TV's previous cartoons]] in execution, being much DenserAndWackier and those who were able to get past found an extremely offbeat, lightning-paced series with heavily reliant on a lot of SurrealHumor, NoFourthWall, and a self-aware StrictlyFormula. The result was a very niche cult show with as many people who deemed it one unusualness of the most stupidly awful and nonsensical animated series, combined with being ScrewedByTheNetwork, ultimately led to the series ever created as there were those who adored it as a brilliantly unique lasting only one season and creative show that was TooGoodToLast.
