Continuity Cameo: "Teen Idle" features a verse in which Electra Heart laments about how she knows her narcissism will wind up being her downfall. Due to narcissism being the primary trait of the Primadonna/Beauty Queen archetype, some fans believe that archetype made a cameo during the bridge.
Critical Dissonance: Electra Heart was negatively reviewed by critics, but it was well received by fans, resulting in the album charting #1 in the UK and Ireland.
Death of the Author: Although she's basically disavowed the record, its fanbase stays strong. To be fair, she's attested to the genuine creativity she poured into the record; the problem with the era really lay in Executive Meddling and Marina feeling pressured into entertaining the masses as her more public-friendly alter ego rather than as herself.
Harsher in Hindsight: The rampant assumptions or accusations of Marina using Electra Heart as a pseudo-intellectual excuse for selling out is this after she later said that she actually did feel lots of pressure to adopt a more public-friendly sound and look. Her lack of creative authenticity and liberty during the era was apparently enough to make her consider quitting music altogether.
(from "Primadonna") "I really don't know why it's such a big dildo."
Misaimed Fandom: Due to the heavily stylised aesthetics of the era, as well as the fun mainstream pop sound, it amassed a devoted cult following. Many people remain big fans of Electra Heart to this day. However, plenty such fans also tend to miss the tongue-in-cheek, sometimes even brutally satirical, nature of its songs.
Signature Song: The two strongest contenders for this within her discography come from this album: "How To Be a Heartbreaker" and "Primadonna."
