History YMMV / MindlessSelfIndulgence

* HilariousInHindsight: "Bullshit" features the line "it's no accident, you all pay my rent, and I am free to download all the porno from the internet." With the advent of Patreon, an artist can pretty much have their audience do just that.

-----> You must listen to this album with your tongue planted firmly in your cheek. If you don't have a sense of irony, or you are a piece of shit bigot, or a fundamentalist anything, return this album immediately, don't come to our shows, don't wear our t-shirts. Fuck off. If you're a parent who neglects, beats, or doesn't show their child love, know that '''we''' don't condone violence so don't waste our time in court while you try to explain to the jury how our music made our "happy & normal child" into a deranged lunatic.
-----> Thank you

** Their lyrics are filled with brutality, sexuality, obscenity, and especially in their earlier works, [[NWordPrivileges slurs]]. The songs describe taboo topics, turn everything UpToEleven and exceed all kinds of tolerable limits. "Panty Shot", "Faggot" and "I Hate Jimmy Page" are the most popular examples for this. However, [[http://thank-you-for-the-idea.tumblr.com/post/90323614886 they know exactly what they're doing]], and none of it is supposed to be taken seriously, since it's so highly exaggerated.

* CrossesTheLineTwice: Vulgarity was the name of the game for their earlier shows. Jimmy was known for waving his privates about and once tried to set them on fire. There is footage of him bringing a crowd member on stage before making out with and then teabagging him. One specific case: [[spoiler: Jimmy drank his own urine before passing it to Steve, who took one sip and spat a second into the crowd. Jimmy then began making out with audience members.]]

* BaseBreaker: Whether the band was better before or after Vanessa YT was replaced by Lyn-Z

* EarWorm: Many.

* MagnumOpus: Fans of the group's older material usually point to ''Frankenstein Girls Will Seem Strangely Sexy'', while newer supporters often consider ''You'll Rebel to Anything'' to be MSI's crowning achievement.

* CoveredUp: Their cover of "Bring The Pain." Back when "Tight" was out-of-print and obscenely rare, it was the only song off the album the whole fanbase knew by heart.

* BaseBreaker: Whether "You'll Rebel Against Anything" and "If" are as good as their first two albums.
** Many fans (especially those who were around for the Tight and FSGWSSS era) feel that the band began spiraling downhill once Vanessa YT was replaced by LynZ; others prefer the newer bassist.

* CrossesTheLineTwice: '''Much''' more than twice. One incident from an early show doubles as some serious {{Squick}}: [[spoiler: it involved Jimmy urinating in a cup, then ''drinking'' it, offering some to Steve (who didn't even hesitate, even taking a second sip to spit on the audience!), and then proceeding to make out with audience members.]]
