YMMV / Momus

• Archive Panic: And how. He’s a rare example of an artist getting more prolific with time, and since 2016 has released one album per year.
• Harsher in Hindsight: The song "Enlightenment", written after Momus was being tested for HIV, had a line musing about losing one eye. Four years later, he would end up partially losing his eyesight after contracting a rare contact lens-related infection.
• Hilarious in Hindsight: The sole album Momus recorded with The Happy Family, The Man on Your Street, is a satirical Concept Album about a door-to-door salesman who rises to become president of the free world. More than thirty years later, this became all the more ironic in the wake of Donald Trump's presidency.
• Signature Song: "The Homosexual", "The Hairstyle Of The Devil", "Lucky Like Saint Sebastian" and "A Complete History Of Sexual Jealousy, Parts 17-24"
• Squick: Often, considering some of the stuff he's written about.
• Tear Jerker: "The Sadness Of Things", rather appropriately.
  • "I Was A Maoist Intellectual" is pretty depressing listening to the lyrics.
    • The live acoustic version Momus did on a TV appearance even more so.
  • "Françoise" is a tribute to the late Françoise Cactus of the band Stereo Total, who was a close friend of Momus.
