The Russian band Little Big:

  • Americans Hate Tingle: The video for the anti-war song "Generation Cancellation" attracted a lot of negative critism in Ukraine, where it has been perceived as incredibly tone-deaf at best and playing into the theses of the Russian propaganda (knowingly or not) at worst. The portrayal of the war as "big money-hungry politicians playing with the lives of little people for their own interests" has been pointed out as not representative of the situation at hand at all, as well as equating the victim and the aggressor. The shot with an Obviously Evil American-looking politician grinning as he gives a sandwich with a rocket to a surprised child wearing a backpack in the colors of Ukraine was the most decried, as it was perceived as a call to stop helping Ukraine. An example of analysis of the video from a Ukrainian perspective can be found here (with English subtitles).
  • Bizarro Episode: "Polyushko Pole" is weird because... it is not weird at all, instead it is rather somber. The video consists of shots of Russian cities and fields along with Ilich, Gokk, Olympia and Sonya simply standing in a field. And, by the way, if the name wasn't enough indication, most of the song is in Russian, and Sonya's voice in this song is rather mesmerizing.
  • Suspiciously Similar Song: After the release of "Sex Machine", listeners were quick to point out the similarities between it and "Beep, Beep, I'm a Sheep" by LilDeuceDeuce, based on TomSka's ASDF Movie series. TomSka himself commented on the video with a single "sheep" emoji.
  • They Changed It, Now It Sucks!: Many fans feel this way about the band's shift into Lighter and Softer territory, with some even blaming it on Olympia's leave.
