* BrokenAce: Gahan and Fletch. This was most true in the early '90s when Gahan's drug problem culminated in him nearly dying of an overdose, and Fletch's continuing problems with clinical depression resulted in a full-fledged nervous breakdown. Dave seems better adjusted and happier these days, as did Fletch at the time of his death.
** This can also be said for Alan around the ''Music/SongsOfFaithAndDevotion'' era: Feeling underappreciated by the rest of the band despite doing the arranging and playing the majority of keyboard parts for both the album and subsequent tour, plus not getting on with anyone except then drug-addict Dave, he felt like he had enough and left after the end of the Devotional Tour.

* AudienceParticipationSong: "Everything Counts" is their longest-standing. Dave Gahan also loves to get concert crowds to sing the choruses to the band's other songs.
** Also several other songs qualify, such as "Enjoy the Silence", "Personal Jesus", and of course, the handwaving motion in "Never Let Me Down Again", popularized by the "101" film.

* RuleOfCool: Pretty much the only real explanation for their songs sounding how they do is because Dave and Martin want it to sound "cool" for the sake of it. After all, what other reason is there to make everything intensely atmospheric all the time like they do, even for something as basic as a pop song? Or in certain situations, pop-rock or outright alternative rock.

* EightiesHair: In TheEighties, the whole band, but Martin's blond "halfro" (which he still has, toned down a little) has to be seen to be believed.
** Dave's dye job in the mid-'80s is probably the second worst.

* IntercourseWithYou: Many of their songs.

to:

* IntercourseWithYou: Many of their songs.songs are outright about sexual relations with a woman or the idea of such things. They are of a unique variety, in that they choose lyrics that speak to the ''[[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou listener]]'' rather than the subject in-universe and use entendres and euphemisms that are ''way'' beyond "double" to communicate this. There are some exceptions to this rule, like political complaints.
