History YMMV / JimmyEatWorld

* SignatureSong: "The Middle" is this to the more casual fans. "Sweetness" and "Pain" may also qualify.

* SugarWiki/FunnyMoments: The band [[https://twitter.com/jimmyeatworld/status/1022978628647186432 warns other bands]] not to pick a name with a [[FunWithAcronyms confusing acronym]]. [[https://twitter.com/TheSharpShadows/status/1022996625390755841 The Sharp Shadows]], [[https://twitter.com/GiantsintheSky_/status/1023021862727680002?s=19 Giants in the Sky]], and [[https://twitter.com/savestheday/status/1023078339630661632?s=19 Saves the Day]] respond in agreement.

* EndingFatigue: The ending to "Goodbye Sky Harbor" is an ambient, trippy mix of layered vocals, glockenspiel (yes!) and processed drums that goes on for, oh, about ten minutes after the rest of the song is over. Doesn't stop it from being pure SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic, however.

* TearJerker: "Hear You Me" which was written about two girls in the Weezer fanclub who died in a car accident.

* CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming: The band [[https://twitter.com/jimmyeatworld/status/1020869535270752256 showing their support]] for a trans woman fan who said she interpreted "The Middle" as a "trans girl anthem."

* CapcomSequelStagnation: Many fans were not pleased with the repetition of their original ''Bleed American''-era sound on their newest effort, ''Damage''.

* GrowingTheBeard: ''Clarity'' was generally viewed as their turning point from being just another Blink-182 copycat to a mature, fully-realized emo act.

* ItsPopularNowItSucks: Some hardcore emo fans resent the band for becoming a smash with ''Bleed American''.
%%* Commented out for being meta, not in-work. Please have an in-work example before re-commenting. SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome: The album ''Bleed American'' was entirely self-funded by the band while they were in between recording contracts. It ended up being their biggest hit.
