* NotChristianRock: ''Modern Vampires of the City'' contains many religious themes: the song "Ya Hey" is about the name Yahweh, and other songs bear titles such as "Worship You," "Unbelievers" and "Everlasting Arms."
** This continues with ''Father of the Bride''. Of course, as Koenig (who writes the vast majority of the band's lyrics) is [[UsefulNotes/{{Judaism}} Jewish]] and heavily draws on his personal experiences with questioning and reaffirming his faith and pride in his heritage, one could argue that it's not ''Christian'' rock, it's ''Jewish'' rock.

Badass Mustache and Badass Beard were merged into Manly Facial Hair. Examples that don't fit or are zero-context are removed. Having facial hair is not enough to qualify. To qualify for Manly Facial Hair, the facial hair must be associated with manliness in some way. Please read the trope description before re-adding to make sure the example qualifies.
