History YMMV / IOSYS

* ArchicePanic: The circle has released over 300 [=CDs=] in various series (mostly Music/TouhouFanMusic), so you'll be here for a while. However, its output has slowed down considerably as of TheNewTwenties, so you at least have a chance to catch up.

A general note about IOSYS themselves: While they are undoubtedly one of the most popular remix groups, there are those who hate what they do to the original songs, find their videos annoying, and consider them to be sell-outs for doing things like taking on commercial jobs and selling their [=CDs=] through Amazon. If you can get past that, some of IOSYS's more bubblegummy songs are hit-or-miss, and your feelings about the [[AudioAdaptation drama tracks]] will vary depending on your understanding of Japanese, how well you tolerate the characters' voices, and so on.

* MemeticMutation: ''All'' of their ''Touhou'' songs have become parodied on Website/YouTube and Website/NicoNicoDouga in [[StupidStatementDanceMix Stupid Statement Dance Mixes]] of things like the Japanese UsefulNotes/McDonalds commercials and Creator/JackBlack's appearance on ''Series/SesameStreet''.
* MisattributedSong: Because of their status as the best-known ''Touhou'' remix group, expect the work of other ''Touhou'' remixers such as Silver Forest and Cool&Create to be misattributed to them, especially by the Western fandom.

** Amongst fans of ''VideoGame/DanceDanceRevolution'', ARM's "ENDYMION" is infamous for being ThatOneBoss.
* {{Tearjerker}}: The ending of "Alice -> Sweet" certainly qualifies. The MayflyDecemberRomance fanvid really caps it.
** "Artificial Children", another Alice song, becomes quite sad when you realize it's about Alice wondering if her dolls have life or not.

* TastesLikeDiabetes: Some of the videos tend to fall under this. Just ''try'' to watch "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hXkqJxYdbdg You Should Drink Cucumber-Flavored Beer!]]" without having your teeth rot out.

** "Artificial Children", another Alice song, becomes quite sad when you realize it's about Alice wondering if her dolls have life or not.
* WeirdAlEffect: Most people in the West are more familiar with the songs that make fun to the ''Touhou'' universe more than the original songs based on it. Those include the Cirno, Alice and Reisen's theme, respectively.

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: IOSYS, being deeply ingrained in Touhou fandom, tends to take many of the same liberties with characterization as the print side. In particular, they are virtually the TropeCodifier for the "{{Tsundere}} Alice" characterization, thanks to remixes such as "Marisa Stole the Precious Thing", "Alice --> Sweet", and "Doll's Play".
