Tropes regarding the band

  • Germans Love David Hasselhoff: Developed a pretty strong cult following in Russia, almost two decades after their demise.
  • Refrain from Assuming: With the song commonly referred to as "Angry Son", the name "Angry Son" comes the ending where the vocalist breaks down screaming "I am the angry son!" repeatedly. However Word of God is that NONE of their songs actually had titles, and the title is just a fan creation. Despite this a live recording exists where the band can be heard before playing it saying "This one is called Woolworm" which has led many to believe that "Woolworm" is the official title. note  Today it's a much less controversial issue and most agree that it is OK to refer to the song as "Angry Son" or at least "the song people call Angry Son".
  • Signature Song:
    • The song commonly called "Angry Son" is not only this for them, it's often considered by many to be the single greatest song of the entire Emo genre.
    • "Reflections on Milkweed" is sometimes considered a "runner-up" for this.
  • Values Resonance: The lyrics to "Sugar Pill" seem to be about over reliance on anti-depressants and inability to feel happiness without them. A pretty relevant contemporary topic...so many might be surprised to hear it in a song written in 1993.
