12!! Could've been my everything, now all these tropes are embarrassing:
13* BookEnds: The [[TickTockTune clock sounds]] at the beginning and end of "24 Hours".
14* TheCameo: Appears in the video for Music/Uffie's song "Pop the Glock", which was made in 2009 at the beginning of her career.
15* DarkerAndEdgier: Gradually, she started making mainstream-sounding Electropop in 2010, to turn her music into a hybrid between NoiseRock, {{New Wave|Music}} and [[ElectronicMusic Synth Pop]] music by 2013.
16* EyeScream: from "Boys": "cross my heart and hope to die, stick a needle in my eye".
17* FaceOnTheCover: ''Night Time My Time'', [[SexyPackaging though it had more than just her face]]. Some photos were cropped to exclude her breasts and focus only on her face, though.
18* Creator/GasparNoe: He shot the cover for ''Night Time, My Time''.
19* GratuitousJapanese: "Omanko," which is Japanese slang for "pussy."
20* LastNoteNightmare: The title track of her debut album sounds itself nightmare-ish, but in the last minute it starts getting more and more sparse, and really darker, repeating the lines "...faster and faster..." a lot of times, [[NightmareFuel and just when the track hits its darkest]], [[MindScrew it ends abruptly]].
21* LyricalDissonance: Despite the dance-y atmosphere of her song "Lost In My Bedroom", the song is about dealing with a break-up.
22* MisandrySong: "Boys", which is about being unable to stand all boys [[SingleTargetSexuality except for the one she loves]].
23* MsFanservice: A bit of a strange and possibly averted version of this trope in the video of "Everything is Embarrasing", with many saying how awkwardly she was trying to act sexy is what they found so bewitching, rather than how sexy they actually thought the video was.
24* OddFriendship: With Music/MileyCyrus. Also, her family used to be friends with Music/MichaelJackson.
25* OneWomanSong: "Kristine".
26* ShoutOut: ''Night Time, My Time'' is a slight paraphrase of a line spoken by Laura Palmer in ''Film/TwinPeaksFireWalkWithMe'' - "night time is my time". The title track features that phrase in the lyrics, as well as other allusions to dialogue from the film.
27* SurrealMusicVideo: "One."
28%%* TextlessAlbumCover: Her album ''Night Time, My Time''.
