More fitting trope, and I don't think Caps Lock is a trope


* CapsLock: The album is stylized in all caps, and so is its title track.



* EasyEvangelism: Subverted. In "Noah Fence", the singer is visited by a door-to-door evangelist. Rather than converting, he tells him off: "Hey now, it's a little too late for me to change now. And even if you showed me the way how, I don't have time tonight."



* KnockingOnHeathensDoor: In "Noah Fence", the singer is enjoying a night in with his girlfriend when a man with "a Bible, a suit, and a cross" knocks on his door. Rather than converting, he tells him off: "Hey now, it's a little too late for me to change now. And even if you showed me the way how, I don't have time tonight."
-->''They keep telling me 'bout Heavеn\\
It sounds a lot like when I'm with you\\
And if I could write a book about you\\
Maybе they would see\\
Exactly why you mean the world to me''



* StopAndGo: In "Tom Holland Oates", after the line "close my eyes and count to ten", the background instrumental stops as the singer can be faintly heard counting. However, "nine, ten!" is screamed, and then it starts a background instrumental again.

* IAmWhatIAm: In "Neutrogena Spektor", the singer is jealous of Hollywood actors of movie stars, hating his "boney-ass self" with "cystic acne". However, he realizes that it's an unrealistic standard, and he has the "best fuckin' friends", so he's happy with his life.

* AlbumClosure: The album ends with "gg", with lyrics that connect to it being the last song ("I've still got lots of things to say / But it looks like we're running out of time / So I'll compile it down the best I can...") The singer acknowledges that he's incapable of changing and won't be able to relate to his girlfriend anymore. However, he still plans to support her.
-->''And it may not be the you I'm used to\\
Some things remain the same\\
Like your hair, your touch, your smile, your voice, your eyes\\
The way you say goodbye''

GAMI GANG is Music/OrigamiAngel's second studio album, released in 2021.

Unlike the positivity of Music/SomewhereCity before it, GAMI GANG hits both ends of the emotional spectrum: from receiving unwanted, demotivational advice when you're at your lowest, to watching your favorite shows with your friends, to accepting that you're incapable of changing for the better.

!! Maybe I'm stuck in this cycle of troping everything I'm around:
* AlbumTitleDrop: "Isopropyl Alchemy" starts with the line "[[PrecisionFStrike Motherfuckin' GAMI GANG!]]"
* BadBedroomBadLife: In "Blanket Statement": "I keep my room just like my life! A fuckin' mess and out of sight! With the curtains closed to block out any light!"
* BookEnds: "gg" incorporates parts of "#GAMIGANG" towards the end.
* BrokenRecord: The words "why you" are repeated 24 times in a row at the end of "Noah Fence".
* CapsLock: The album is stylized in all caps, and so is its title track.
* DarkerAndEdgier: This album is a lot more cynical than ''Somewhere City''. For instance, "Blanket Statement" is about the singer's life being "a fuckin' mess" and him not knowing how to fix it.
* TheDissTrack: "You Won't." is about the singer calling out someone who's backstabbed him, saying that their insults don't hurt and they'll never be as good as him.
-->''And I will take the fall\\
If it means that someone else won't have to hear the shit you say\\
Behind the back of someone else in such a stupid petty way''
* EasyEvangelism: Subverted. In "Noah Fence", the singer is visited by a door-to-door evangelist. Rather than converting, he tells him off: "Hey now, it's a little too late for me to change now. And even if you showed me the way how, I don't have time tonight."
* IAmWhatIAm: In "Neutrogena Spektor", the singer is jealous of Hollywood actors of movie stars, hating his "boney-ass self" with "cystic acne". However, he realizes that it's an unrealistic standard, and he has the "best fuckin' friends", so he's happy with his life.
* LongestSongGoesLast: "gg", at 4:54. The lyrics describe that, while the singer is "incapable of change", and his friend's starting to grow apart from him, he'll never forget them.
* PepTalkSong: In "Kno U", the singer tells a friend that they're "cool as shit" and should be proud of who they are; anyone who says otherwise doesn't know everything they've been through.
* ProductPlacement: Referenced in "Footloose Cannonball Brothers", which is about someone who constantly posts about their life on social media and "acts like they're sponsored by Adidas". The singer says that everyone can see they're overcompensating, and it's just a blatant attempt to look cool.
* TitleTrack: "#GAMIGANG", the first track. It's an instrumental that's hardly 30 seconds.
* SurprisinglyGentleSong: "Greenbelt Station" is a song about the singer's girlfriend, who grows apart from him, although he knows she's happy where she is. It's much more poignant, quiet, and slow than the rest of the album.
