YMMV / Silverchair

• Broken Base: Mid '90s Post-Grunge Silverchair fans vs. late '90s/'00s experimental art pop Silverchair fans.
• Ensemble Dark Horse: An interesting example where the band itself is considered this for the Post-Grunge genre. In any music discussions, when Silverchair is brought up, they seem to be remembered more fondly compared to other bands, possibly due to the fact that they managed to pull off a well crafted album at the age of fifteen and partially thanks to the Growing the Beard below.
• Fanon Discontinuity: Ask a fan of the mid-90s grunge style Silverchair if the band has released anything since their hiatus (2003-'06). Go on, we're waiting.
  • Diorama falls into this for some fans.
  • Conversely, many fans hate Frogstomp and Freak Show for being watered-down, derivative post-grunge, but love them from Neon Ballroom on.
• Growing the Beard: A gradual process they have been going through throughout their career. Their first two records see them being "Nirvana in Pyjamas", but on their third album, Neon Ballroom, you see them starting to experiment with their sound. And by the time they released Young Modern, they had graduated to Progressive Rock, being gritty, yet elegant and eclectic at once.
• Harsher in Hindsight: Across the Night off of the Diorama album mentions Daniel hugging a man's arthritic shoulder. In an eerie coincidence, Daniel would come down with a bout of reactive arthritis not too long after the album came out.
• They Changed It, Now It Sucks!: Young Modern for some fans for being completely different to a majority of the band's previous work. Diorama can fall under this to a lesser extent.
• Viewer Gender Confusion: Apparently, a local Australian paper published a paparazzi photo of Daniel Johns and Natalie Imbruglia out together and holding hands, and, only recognizing one half of the couple, concluded that Natalie was in a same sex relationship. This of course was when he could still be considered Bishōnen.
• The Woobie: After all that Daniel has been through in his career, being bullied at school, being falsely accused of stalking twice, falling victim to anorexia, coming down with reactive arthritis and going through a divorce with his wife, it's hard not to feel for the guy.
