True Art Is Incomprehensible is now an in-universe trope as per TRS.


-->"Give me a pop-song, mate. Give me a fucking pop-song. Not only is it more fun, it's pretty fuckin' hard to write as well. You can bung in as many [[TrueArtIsIncomprehensible out-of-tune oboes]] as you want, but putting chords together so they sound pleasant isn't as simple as it might appear ... What have you listened to for a good time that isn't, after all, a '[[Administrivia/TropesAreTools traditional]]' song? Still playing the Music/{{Mike Oldfield}} records, huh? Still whipping Music/{{Yes}} songs on for a good time? [[TakeThat Wanna count on one hand how many people have fun]] at a Music/SonicYouth gig?"

* {{Jerkass}}: An '''Understatement'''. When they aren't being rude or insulting towards their listeners (With such [[SarcasmMode nice]] song names such as "If You're Ugly, Forget It"), they are doing that to other bands, like Music/{{SonicYouth}} and Music/{{RageAgainstTheMachine}}. Oh, and in their book ''The TISM Guide To Little Aesthetics'', they basically adimit to doing what their kind of music because it [[SellOut sells more]].
-->''Besides which, pop songs sell more.''
