2	[[caption-width-right:350:Zac Pennington]] Parenthetical Girls is an art pop ensemble fronted by [[IAmTheBand sole constant member]] Zac Pennington.

5	!!Examples:
6	* AntiChristmasSong: Pretty much every Christmas release, particularly "Do You Fear What I Fear?".
7	* AttendingYourOwnFuneral: Zac Pennington has done this twice (so far).
8	* BirthDeathJuxtaposition: "The Weight She Fell Under". After the gory details of the girl's death,
9	-->strange, this would come at the same age
10	-->that your mother took his name
11	-->and labor pains would collapse her fragile frame
12	* CampStraight: Zac Pennington is the living embodiment of this trope, and is known for his androgyny and effeminacy (and embracing it), but is reportedly straight.
13	* ChristmasSongs: Six [=EPs=] worth so far.
14	* CouldntFindAPen: Their five-part series of [=EPs=], ''Privilege'', is hand-numbered in the actual blood of the corresponding band member depicted on the cover.
15	* DirtyOldMonk: "Young Eucharists".
16	* FaceOnTheCover: All of their LP covers thus far are artistic renditions of Pennington.
17	* IntercourseWithYou: Too many to list. Most blatantly "Love Connection, Pt. II".
18	* PeacefulInDeath: "The Weight She Fell Under".
19	* SexAsRiteOfPassage: The focus of "Unmentionables".
20	* SuicidePact: Mentioned in "The Four Platitudes".
21	* TextlessAlbumCover: Their first three [=LPs=].
22	* TwistedChristmas: "Flowers for Albion" in particular.
