* BrokenBase: Mid '90s PostGrunge Silverchair fans vs. late '90s/'00s experimental art pop Silverchair fans.
* EnsembleDarkHorse: An interesting example where ''the band itself'' is considered this for the PostGrunge genre. In any music discussions, when Silverchair is brought up, they seem to be remembered more fondly compared to other bands, possibly due to the fact that they managed to pull off a well crafted album at the age of fifteen and partially thanks to the GrowingTheBeard below.
* FanonDiscontinuity: Ask a fan of the mid-90s grunge style Silverchair if the band has released anything since their hiatus (2003-'06). Go on, we're waiting.
** ''Diorama'' falls into this for some fans.
** Conversely, many fans hate ''Frogstomp'' and ''Freak Show'' for being watered-down, derivative post-grunge, but love them from ''Neon Ballroom'' on.
* GrowingTheBeard: A gradual process they have been going through throughout their career. Their first two records see them being "Music/{{Nirvana}} in [[Series/BananasInPyjamas Pyjamas]]", but on their third album, ''Neon Ballroom'', you see them starting to experiment with their sound. And by the time they released ''Young Modern'', they had graduated to ProgressiveRock, being gritty, yet elegant and eclectic at once.
* HarsherInHindsight: Across the Night off of the ''Diorama'' album mentions Daniel hugging a man's arthritic shoulder. In an eerie coincidence, Daniel would come down with a bout of reactive arthritis not too long after the album came out.
* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: ''Young Modern'' for some fans for being completely different to a majority of the band's previous work. ''Diorama'' can fall under this to a lesser extent.
* ViewerGenderConfusion: Apparently, a local Australian paper published a paparazzi photo of Daniel Johns and Natalie Imbruglia out together and holding hands, and, only recognizing one half of the couple, concluded that Natalie was in a same sex relationship. This of course was when he could still be considered {{Bishonen}}.
* TheWoobie: After all that Daniel has been through in his career, being bullied at school, being falsely accused of stalking twice, falling victim to anorexia, coming down with reactive arthritis and going through a divorce with his wife, it's hard not to feel for the guy.
