* {{Sampling}}: "Fine Art" samples radio presenter Stephen Nolan reporting on the mural of a burning police car that Kneecap unveiled in Belfast in 2022. The sample ends with Nolan quoting the band's own description of the mural as [[TitleDrop "Fine Art"]], then repeats that line throughout the rest of the song.
-->'''Stephen Nolan:''' On the Nolan show today, a mural of a burning police car and chants of "get the Brits out". ''[crowd cheers]'' And this is ''[[SoundEffectBleep [=[bleep]=]]]''ern Ireland, 2022. Rappers Kneecap say the mural was unveiled as just a piece of... [[TitleDrop fine art]].

* SoundEffectBleep: "Fine Art" doesn't censor any of its many expletives, but does use a bleep to cover "Northern" when it samples radio presenter Stephen Nolan talking about "Northern Ireland".

** "Fine Art" mentions fans (and 'fans') approaching the band while they're out. One Irish lyric is "ordaigh deoch sula labhrann cunt liom" (roughly translated, trying to "order a drink before this cunt talks to me").

The 2024 film ''Film/{{Kneecap|2024}}'' is a fictionalised version of Kneecap's origins, with the band members playing themselves. It became the first Irish-language film to open at Sundance and the first non-American picture to debut in the NEXT strand, and took home an Audience Appreciation award.

* FanDisservice: The cover image of single "Get Your Brits Out" is a cartoon of a very elderly, very wrinkled UsefulNotes/ElizabethI who's only wearing an ermine-trimmed bra. The background of the official lyric video alternates between the same image and a fully dressed version of the queen.

* OdeToIntoxication: "Amach Anocht" ('Out Tonight') covers a wide range of drink and drugs, all part of a wild night out. From drinking Carlsberg and gin on to ketamines, MDMA, cocaine and cannabis. The last line of the chorus, "Sure, cá bhfuil an dochar?", translates as "Sure, where's the harm?", but is presented in a context that suggests it's not quite that simple.

* NorthernIrishAndNasty: Kneecap are a Northern Irish band, but paint a pretty bleak picture of the province snd its people. "Fenian Cunts" centres around Unionist bigotry towards Republicans, "Get Your Brits Out" is a PoliticalRap portraying the DUP leadership as pretty unpleasant, "Gael-Gigolos" and "Your All Legitimate Targets" feature Republican extremists and "Guilty Conscience" and "H.O.O.D." portray the band members themselves as violent thugs. Subverted when some songs dig deeper into the poverty and divisions that fuel drug use and violence within the province.
