1* AlternateCharacterInterpretation:
2** In "Ode To the Bouncer," is her outrage at not being allowed into the club justified, or is she trying to threaten/bribe a man simply doing his job? Are her excuses ("I got friends inside, it's my birthday tonight") genuine, or lies?
3** Are the [[DerangedAnimation trippy visuals]] in the music videos just [[RuleOfCool trippy for the sake of being trippy]], or are they [[AllJustADream Cherry's fantasies?]]
4** Is the narrator "Jenny" a sweet DoggedNiceGirl or a PsychoLesbian StalkerWithACrush?
5* SugarWiki/AwesomeArt: The animation for the music videos have some ''very'' beautiful visuals and designs.
6* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: Where to even start? How about "Eros and Apollo", or maybe "Jenny"?
7* CrackShip: Cherry has been [[http://jaylina.deviantart.com/art/Music-Related-243720450 paired]] with [[Music/{{Vocaloid}} Miku Hatsune]] by some- after all, you gotta have virtual musicians with turquoise hair!
8* {{Fanon}}: It's widely accepted/theorized that Cherry's singing voice is that of a [[CrossDressingVoices male singer]]. Namely, Teemu Brunila of ''The Crash'' fame. While it eventually veered into OpenSecret territory, the band has ultimately never confirmed it.
9* FoeRomanceSubtext: "Ode To The Bouncer" is ''dripping'' with this since it's essentially Cherry wondering whether to beat up or sleep with the titular bouncer.
10* FriendlyFandoms: With ''Anime/PantyAndStockingWithGarterbelt'', due to the familiar themes and musical style.
11* HoYay: If their Tumblr is anything to go by, Goldie and Dyna apparently like to ''"have a nuzzle now and then."''
12* LGBTFanbase: They play thumping club music and are "fronted" by a [[BigBeautifulWoman curvaceous woman]] who sings about girl-on-girl romance. The band have even described themselves as "LGBTQ content" in their promotional material.
13* MemeticMutation: "I wanna ruin our friendship. We should be llamas instead." [[labelnote:Explanation]]From "Jenny," Cherry is singing about how she and the eponymous Jenny should be lovers and instead of friends. However, the exaggerated way Cherry pronounces the word lover makes it sound like she's saying "llama" instead.[[/labelnote]]
14* {{Misblamed}}:
15** "All Men Are Pigs" easily riles up people as a seeming misandry song; in reality, the final lyric is "all men but me..." and in the lyric video, the usually-blue lines that are quotes from the piggish men appear in yellow, revealing that the singer was a guy the whole time. Those who don't read between the lines stumble over this, though.
16** In "Jenny", Cherry steals Jenny's things and intentionally wrecks her relationship with a guy. While a dickish thing to do, as catalogued below, the music video also shows that Jenny's boyfriend was hooking up with other women at a bar, so her actions are a little less negative in that light.
17%%* QuirkyWork: It's a fictional band consisting of a woman with makeup running down her face and two anthropomorphic animals. Their music videos don't make much sense either.
18* SignatureSong: "Jenny" is their most recognized song, with "Ode To The Bouncer" a close second.
19* UglyCute: The air-humping pigs from "All Men Are Pigs". Cherry herself can also qualify, having what you wouldn't call conventionally attractive features yet still coming off as looking gorgeous.
20* UnintentionalUncannyValley: The CGI-rendered Cherry in the first two music videos. Something about her cartoonish proportions combined with realistic skin textures just seem... off.
21* UnintentionallySympathetic: The titular bouncer in "Ode to the Bouncer". Cherry's lyrics paint him as a sleazy pervert letting women into the bars and her tempting him by playing along. The music video, however, plays very little into that game, showing the bouncer [[NotDistractedByTheSexy being unmoved by her unsubtle flirtations]] and outright ''trying to push her off'' when she engages him. Between Cherry engaging him in sex possibly against his will, repeatedly slamming his head into the ground, and even ''clawing half his face off'', the bouncer comes off as a ''severe'' victim of DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale and DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale.
22* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: Just how much are we expected to sympathize with Cherry in "Jenny"? She admits to hacking her friend's email account and stealing her things, all in the name of [[LoveMakesYouCrazy infatuation]]. [[DoubleStandard Gender-swap]] either character and it comes off less as [[GirlOnGirlIsHot passionate]] and more like {{entitled|tohaveyou}} [[StalkingIsLove stalking]].
