* BadassBaritone: Johnny 3 Tears and especially Funny Man. The latter of which is lamp shaded in some songs.

Added DiffLines:

* HellishLA: A whole lot of their songs are about how Los Angeles chews up and spits out everybody who tries to make it there, luring them in with false promises of glamour before destroying them, unless they're willing to sell their souls to get ahead. "California Dreaming" is even linked at the top of that trope's page to serve as a soundtrack for it.

* RefrainFromAssuming: A kind of weird example. The song that has "This love, this hate is burning me away" as its chorus? That's Knife Called Lust. The song that uses the line for its ''bridge'' is This Love, This Hate.

* EpilepticFlashingLights: First started out okay during the Five era, gradually got cranked up, and well… take a quick look at the [[UpToEleven “Already Dead”]] [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=P3ffCGtFGsY music video]]. At least “Empire” toned down the effects, but still is present.

Considered by many to be fairly polarizing, Hollywood Undead got their start writing rap songs about [[EmoTeen Emo Teens]] and posting them on Website/MySpace. After gaining a following, the band's founders decided to officially form a band with anyone who happened to be in the room at the time, no, seriously. The band was the first act signed to [=MySpace=] Records, then switched over to [[Creator/AAndMRecords A&M/Octone Records]], where they released their first album, ''Swan Songs'', in 2008, which had a mostly HipHop-oriented sound with a few rock songs. This was followed by a live album mostly consisting of songs from their debut and a few covers (including Music/LedZeppelin and Music/MotleyCrue).

* {{Dissimile}}: For those of you who are not aware of the slang term "down with the dick" (which is not on Website/UrbanDictionary but apparently means [[AllWomenAreLustful a female who loves to sleep around]]), this band's use of the line may introduce [[{{Transgender}} another image]] into the listener's head. It doesn't help that Hollywood Undead once collaborated with another [=MySpace=] celebrity, [[DragQueen Jeffree Star]].

* PrettyFlyForAWhiteGuy: Some of Especially in their material early albums, exhibits this.this trope all over their music with the over-the-top way they act and their use of the word "gangsta". In an interesting example of a ZigzaggedTrope, some of the band members fit the surburban wannabe stereotype, while others come from impoverished and crime ridden neighborhoods.
