2* CapcomSequelStagnation: Many fans weren't pleased with the repetition of their original ''Bleed American''-era sound on ''Damage''.
3* EndingFatigue: The ending to "Goodbye Sky Harbor" is an ambient, trippy mix of layered vocals, glockenspiel (yes!) and processed drums that goes on for about 10 minutes after the rest of the song is over. It doesn't stop it from being pure SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic, however.
4* SugarWiki/FunnyMoments:
5** The band [[https://twitter.com/jimmyeatworld/status/1022978628647186432 warns other bands]] not to pick a name with a [[FunWithAcronyms confusing acronym]]. [[https://twitter.com/TheSharpShadows/status/1022996625390755841 The Sharp Shadows]], [[https://twitter.com/GiantsintheSky_/status/1023021862727680002?s=19 Giants in the Sky]], and [[https://twitter.com/savestheday/status/1023078339630661632?s=19 Saves the Day]] respond in agreement.
6** The band Mannequin Pussy [[https://haintxblue.tumblr.com/post/667630177170440192 suggests]] that all bands add "pussy" to their name to avoid censorship. Jimmy Eat World retweets them with nothing but an "eyes wide" emoji.[[note]]"Eat Pussy" is a common slang for cunnilingus[[/note]]
7* GrowingTheBeard: ''Clarity'' was generally viewed as their turning point from being just another generic pop-punk act to a mature, fully-realized emo act.
8* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: The band [[https://twitter.com/jimmyeatworld/status/1020869535270752256 showing their support]] for a trans woman fan who said she interpreted "The Middle" as a "trans girl anthem."
9* SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome: The album ''Bleed American'' was entirely self-funded by the band while they were in between recording contracts. It ended up being their biggest hit.
10* SignatureSong: "The Middle" is this to most people, due to its immense popularity. "Sweetness" and "Pain" may also qualify - "Sweetness" is particularly iconic to [[UsefulNotes/NationalHockeyLeague NHL]] fans, as it's been the Florida Panthers' goal horn song since 2017.
11* SugarWiki/SweetDreamsFuel: "Just Watch the Fireworks", "23", "Sure and Certain" and "Pol Roger". And that's not even scratching the surface of how many songs that are considered this to fans.
12* TearJerker: "Hear You Me" which was written about two girls in the Weezer fan club who died in a car accident.
