Just a fun joke I came up with, but let's be honest, it's probably true.


* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForKids: In the late '90s/early 2000s, the band somehow became seen as a "family-friendly" band due to stuff like the [=Rock'n'Rollercoaster=] at the Disney Hollywood Studios theme park, their appearances on the Kids Choice Awards, and even a song on the Rugrats Go Wild soundtrack. Of course, nobody ever thought to read the lyrics of their albums, which are full of explicit sex (as well as isolated songs about violence and drug abuse). Heck, this is the group that had a song titled "Love In An Elevator"...A song that has the immortal line "Living it up when I'm going down". And it's featured in said rollercoaster (though retitled "Love in a Roller Coaster"). As well as other IntercourseWithYou songs, such as "Young Lust" and "F.I.N.E."

If Steven and Joe had written "Bikini Bottom Boogie", the song they wrote for Theatre/TheSpongebobMusical, in the '70s, odds are it would have an ''entirely'' different meaning.

* SignatureSong: Many, but "Dream On" is ultimately this, as it's easily their most popular and recognizable song overall, as well as one of the biggest classics in rock music history. The closest contender is "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing", technically their biggest hit on the charts and their second most streamed song on the Internet, although it's kind of a BlackSheepHit and wasn't even written by the band.

* FanonDiscontinuity: As listed above, the fandom often squabbles on what to acknowledge in their discography. [[CreatorBacklash The band itself agrees]] ''Night in the Ruts'' and ''Rock In a Hard Place'' should be ignored.
