1* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: Their ACappella cover of [[Music/{{PSY}} "Gangnam Style"]] resulted in more than one listener going "''[[FlatWhat ...What.]]''" then bursting out in laughter and listening to it again.
2* BrokenBase:
3** Whether or not Scott leads too many songs and/or has too many solos. Some fans are fine with it, as the group have made it clear that they openly discuss the solo division, and Avi, Kirstin ''and'' Kevin have also stated that they are comfortable singing back-up. Other fans are disappointed that the other members have only lead a hand-full of songs each, and would prefer to see a more equal division in the future.
4** Their cover of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fdqBqIpuJLs Ride]] by Music/TwentyOnePilots wasn't met too warmly by fans, with some feeling that the group could have gone for a better arrangement, some who felt that the song should have been left alone, and others who liked the cover just fine.
5** Whether the group should move onto original songs or continue doing covers. The group have stated that they'll never stop doing covers, but some fans want want them to leave the covers behind entirely, while others aren't fond of any original material and want things to [[TheyChangedItNowItSucks remain as they are]].
6* EstrogenBrigade: There's a ''lot'' of women who were only at their concerts for Avi.
7* FanNickname: Kevin and Avi are known as "Meat" and "Potatoes", respectively, after a comment from Shawn Stockman christening the duo during their time on ''Series/TheSingOff'' (basically, they're the solid foundation of the band).
8* FanPreferredCouple:
9** Scomiche, for obvious reasons.
10** Then there are some fans who would prefer Mitch and Avi together. It helps that they are the only single people in the group.
11** Despite the fact that she was (at the time) engaged, there were still a great number of fans who wanted to see Avi and Kirstin together.
12* MemeticBadass: ''[[MrFanservice Avi]]'', thanks to a combination of [[ManlyFacialHair the beard]] and the voice. Fans are pretty much in agreement that even just listening to [[SugarWiki/MostWonderfulSound the sound of his voice]] will put [[ArousedByTheirVoice a child in every woman]] and a beard on every man. It's arguably even justified by the fact that he once hit a note so low that he ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eeHRokYRVms blew out a speaker]]'' in the middle of a song.
13* PortmanteauCoupleName: All of the main "ships", platonic or not, such as Scavi, Mevin, Mirstie, etc. The only major exceptions are Avi and Kevin, who are known as ''Meat and Potatoes'', which was a nickname that was given to them during their time of The Sing-Off and Scott and Mitch, who are known as ''Scomiche'', a mutation of their names which they themselves developed on a particularly strange episode of "Superfruit".
14* TearJerker: "Run To You", especially since its association with a very sad ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'' [[https://paperseverywhere.tumblr.com/post/76813105236 fan-comic]] where the Dolorosa loses her adopted son the Sufferer, is MadeASlave, murdered by Dualscar and then reunited with her son in death.
15** Avi leaving the group for many people, especially when you watch the video where he's choked up about it.
