to:

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Several, but the best known is Carol Song aka "the Asian chick with the hair".
* JumpTheShark: Most people point to Cornelius giving up hosting duties.
* MemeticMutation: ''THE '''SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUL''' TRAIN!''
** Also parodied was Cornelius' tendency to sway when [=MCing=], lampshaded on ''MadTV'' once.
* NeverLiveItDown: Although outlasting the genre by two decades, the show couldn't escape its connection to disco (particularly big bellbottoms and bigger Afros).
* OlderThanTheyThink: Carol Song had been a ''Soul Train'' Dancer since at least the late 1970s.
* ReplacementScrappy: After Don Cornelius stepped away from hosting, every subsequent host was tolerated at best by the fandom.
* TheScrappy: Any white male dancer in the ''Soul Train'' Line. Bro, give it up — you can't dance.
** White women tended to avoid this Trope, holding their own on the dance floor.
** White singers were tolerated, but only a few of them (including EltonJohn and DavidBowie[[hottip:*:hilariously, as he was transitioning to his aristocratic, "emotionless ''[[NaziNobleman Aryan]]'' [[{{Ubermensch}} superman]]" "Thin White Duke" phase]]) were deemed worthy.
