* ShoutOut: In "Pop 101", the lyrics directly reference TheBlackEyedPeas, ImogenHeap, and MumfordAndSons and indirectly reference JustinBieber. The music video references [[{{Kesha}} Ke$ha]] and Robin Thicke, among others. Given the [[SarcasmMode sarcastic]] tone of the song, it may qualify as more of a TakeThat.

* NeverLiveItDown: Josh Ramsay wrote the music for the BreakoutHit [[CarlyRaeJepsen "Call Me Maybe"]] and has apparently caught a lot of hell for it.

* TheWoobie: Josh, although it's probably more along the lines of IronWoobie. He was sent to rehab in high school for getting addicted to heroin, suffers from depression and anxiety alongside insomnia, struggles with eating disorders, and in the video for the making of ''Astoria'' he explains that the reason for the band's long absence is because he hit a major writing block when his wedding was suddenly cancelled and he was sent to the hospital for gall stones.

YMMV is not and was never a trope. Do not link to it for any reason. That aside, Broken Base is a fan reaction trope. It does not go on the main page for a work or creator.


* BrokenBase: {{YMMV}}, but there are plenty of fans who believe their earlier work - particularly ''[[DarkerAndEdgier Fix Me]]'', is better than their newer, happier work.

* LyricsVideoMismatch: "Say Anything" is about self-harm and self-loathing, but the video is hammy and about Josh selling the embarrassing secrets of his bandmates to the press. "Shake Tramp" is about what [[SlapSlapKiss may or may not be]] [[UnfortunateImplications an abusive relationship]], and the video is...about Josh hallucinating being a smooth operator?

* LyricalDissonance: "Here's to the Zeros" sounds like it would be a rallying underdog song with a catchy beat, but in addition to a [[DeadpanSnarker snarky]] TakeThat directed at the success of "Call Me Maybe", there's also some self-deprecating humor aimed at lead singer Josh Ramsay himself.
