20 | * TheCameo: DJ Chucks would often appear in their music videos for a few seconds, sometimes in the background. |
21 | * DeliberatelyMonochrome: "Fear & Delight", "Inexplicable" (barring the ending) and "Finally" are all entirely in black and white. |
22 | * ElectroSwing: The genre of their music falls squarely in this category, though some have argued that it also has elements of AlternativeHipHop and DrumAndBass. |
23 | * QuintessentialBritishGentleman: Mr. Bruce is often dressed in a fancy suit with a bow tie, glasses and slicked back hair, making him across as a prim and proper chap. |
24 | * MinimalistCast: Ignoring the fact that its just the two of them, their music videos usually features a maximum of two people at a time, set in a WhiteVoidRoom (occasionally changed to black or grey)and minimal props, the special effects pushing it into the realm of [[{{Absurdism}} absurdist]] theatrics. |
