* TheAlcoholic: Wes Scantlin had a bad drinking problem for much of TheNewTens. It got so bad that [[https://www.thefix.com/puddle-mudd-abandon-lead-singer-wes-scantlin-after-latest-stage-meltdown the rest of the band actually walked out on him mid-show]] after a particularly bad outburst. Eventually, he checked himself into rehab and is now making an effort to turn his life around.

* FollowTheLeader: The group were heavily influenced by Music/AliceInChains and {{Nirvana}} to the point where despite forming in 1991, they were seen as too similar to reach massive popularity until both bands were inactive, and a new generation was discovering grunge. Several tracks on "Life In Display" are done in exactly the same acoustic style of AliceInChains ' Jar Of Flies EP.

* {{Jerkass}}: Scantlin has gained a reputation as this in recent years, due to meltdowns on stage and repeated run-ins with the law. He's now sober, though, and seems to be trying his best to turn his life around.
* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: Their independent first two albums "Stuck" and "Abrasive" were limited runs, and have never been reissued despite Scantlin saying he wants to many times over the years. Similarly a number of leaked 90s demo tracks are unlikely to be officially released.
* OlderThanTheyThink: They first formed in 1991 at the height of the grunge scene, but it took until 2001 for them to get a major label deal.

They're named after the fact that their practice space was ruined by the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Mississippi_and_Missouri_Rivers_Flood_of_1993 Mississippi River flood of 1993]] and left a muddy mess (allowing {{Cracked}} to joke that they missed a great opportunity to name themselves "Mississippi River Flood").
