History WesternAnimation / GrojBand

** Although she claims she hates girly things, Laney is a closet GirlyGirl and her bedroom is full of girly things. She forbids her friends from entering her room in fear of being exposed.[[note]]This is actually heavily implied in the show proper, but never touched upon. The few shots we get of Laney's room reveal stuffed animals and a lot of pink; Trina is also seen catching her wearing a unicorn costume in "Grin Reaper".[[/note]]
** Kin and Kon were born ConjoinedTwins via a cesarean.[[note]]This is alluded to in the show when Kon shows Corey his "back nipples" in "Indie Road Rager"), which according to Todd Kauffman, were actually Kin's nipples before the twins were separated.[[/note]]
** Kin and Kon constantly insist to others that they are identical twins (although no one believes them). The two also claim to have a secret twin language and to be able to finish each other's sentences, but they constantly botch any attempts at them.
** Kin is an expert in pyrotechnics, while Kon's ditzy qualities are actually a case of ObfuscatingStupidity.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Corey has blue hair, Mina has teal hair, and Trina has pink hair.

* SignatureInstrument: While each of the four members of Grojband occasionally use different instruments for specific songs, all four of them are typically associated with a particular instrument: Corey has a red-and-yellow electric guitar with a red strap, Laney uses a bluish-green electric bass guitar, Kin uses a blue keyboard (sometimes a keytar), and Kon uses a red dumset with the band's skull symbol visible on the bass drum.

* AllThereInTheManual:
** Co-creator Todd Kauffman has [[https://neptoonstudios.tumblr.com/ a Tumblr blog]] where he answers questions about the show. Some of the questions he answers involve the names of background characters.
** [[https://grojband.blogspot.com/ The show's official production blog]] contains biographical information for all the major characters in its posts on them, with much of the information never being highlighted in the series proper. Laney, Kin & Kon, and Mina's last names are a good example, as their surnames are never actually stated in the show; same goes with the names of Kin and Kon's Newmans counterparts, Kim and Konnie Kagami.

''Grojband'' debuted on June 10, 2013 on Creator/CartoonNetwork in the United States and later came to Creator/{{Teletoon}} in Canada on September 5, 2013. The series suffered from [[ScrewedByTheNetwork some rather wonky scheduling]] during its time on air, with only the first 13 episodes being shown in 2013 and the rest of the first season being delayed for nearly two years. The remaining episodes finally arrived on TV on February 22, 2015 on Creator/{{Boomerang}}, but the show's cancellation was announced shortly afterwards. [[ShortRunners At only 26 episodes]], it is Fresh TV's shortest-lived standalone series. While this wild and offbeat little series did ruffle some feathers during its brief but intense life on the small screen, it nonetheless has an immensely loyal and passionate fanbase.

* RomanticTwoGirlFriendship: In "Math of Kon", Mina has one with Trina's nerdy alter ego Trigonometrina.

%% ** To a lesser extent, Corey as well.

* RageBreakingPoint: Trina writes in her diary in Anger Mode whenever she reaches this.

Quirky and charismatic 13-year-old Corey Riffin starts a GarageBand with his best friends, the snarky tomboy Laney Penn and zany non-identical twin brothers Kin and Kon Kujira. However, the newly founded [[MyspeldRokband Grojband]] has a problem: Corey's not good at coming up with lyrics. He just can't think of anything songworthy to write... that is until he finds the SecretDiary of his bratty 16-year-old BigSisterBully Trina and realizes that her handwritten teenage angst is a goldmine of songwriting inspiration!

[[TheStinger Thanks for coming out, everyone!]]

** Kon, according to WordOfGod. This is hinted at a few times in the show however, as he frequently displays BookDmb and GeniusDitz tendencies that suggest he may be intelligent in his own unusual way.

* StatingTheSimplySolution:

** The series is very aware of itself, and the fourth wall is broken in pretty much every episode. Every episode even ends with Corey addressing the audience directly as he turns to0 the viewers and says "Thanks for coming out, everyone!".

* SuperOCD / AttentionDeficitOohSHiny: Corey has both OCD and ADD[=/=]ADHD, according to WordOfGod. He's known for booking a gig at every chance he gets and not letting even one slip by, and his quirky but charming personality well reflects it.

* BeleagueredAssistant: Mina serves as one to Trina, doing all her dirty work due to being too spineless to stadn up to [[BadBoss Trina]]'s cruel and abusive personality.

** Laney really hates that everyone keeps thinking she is a guy. Taken UpToEleven in the episode "No Strings Attached", where she gets a male puppet (which is dressed exactly like her but with shorter hair, no hair clip, a five o' clock shadow and a long body) and what do the other members of Grojband do when Laney comments on this? [[ElephantInTheLivingRoom Act like it's normal]]. Kin even says it's the spitting image of her.

* BigBad: Trina Riffin is he series' overall antagonist and constantly trying to find ways to ruin Grojband's quest for musical fame or her brother's life.

* BigRedButton: In "Helmet", Kin built the eponymous robotic helmet with one, and he warns Corey not to press it. After hearing an golden opportunity to sabotage the band presenting itself, Trina pushes said button, causing the helmet to go rogue. When Laney asks [[LampshadeHanging why he would even build the helmet with a button that turns it evil]], Kin just [[NonAnswer rolls his eyes in annoyance]].

** Also in "Beep Bop A Loofah" when Kin and Kon are maing huge amounts of money selling air fresheners. It was even continued and expanded later in the episode when they sell their profits for magic beans.

** Laney also shows signs of this, such as her gentleness with a bee in "Queen Bee", her fondness for dogs seen in "The Snuffles with Snarffles" and "A Knight to Remember", and her CutenessProximity reactions to Blade Stabbington's pet rat in "Creepaway Camp". However, she seems to make an acception for [[MisterMuffykins "yappy dogs"]].

** Laney gets a puppet of herself with one and a five o' clock shadow in "No Strings Attached".

* GrandTheftMe: The Orb Experience do this to The Newmans in "Space Jammin" .

* InformedAttribute: According to Corey in "One-Plant Band" (and also state din their official online bios), he and Trina are the most popular kids in their respective grades, but we hardly ever see their school lives, and when we do, they don't seem to be treated that differently by other students.

* LyricalDissonance: In one episode, the band sings a song about running away from creepy puppets who want to kill you... in the style of a song you might find on a prechooler show, for an audience of little kids. The kids seem to love it, though!

* MistreatmentInducedBetrayal: In "Hear Us Rock!", [[spoiler:Trina finally pushes Mina to her limit when she leaves her to die along with everyone else on Earth, resulting in Mina betraying Trina and helping Grojband save Earth, as well as givimg Trina a much-needed piece of her own mind.]]

* NiceJobFixingItVillain: After the above happens, the helmet, in its effort to make everything "perfect", uses its ray to fix Corey's cracked voice, allowing the band to promptly defeat it with their imperfectable yodelling in the episode's song.

** In "Duelling Buttons", Corey absolutely LOSES IT when Trina defeats him at the rythym game Solo Shredder, and not even Laney's usual comforting can help calm him down.

** Corey is allergic to cat dander, which Kon uses to get him to sneeze it hypnotic pollen and free him from the mind control of Trina's plant in "One-Plant Band".

** Trina and Nick Mallory also appear to exert power of bodily functions; Trina and Mina can resist sweating and drooling as "it's for farmers" and Nick Mallory is able to stare away his chicken pox because "Nick Mallory doesn't do spots".

** In "Ahead of Our Own Tone", Corey learns afrom Kin and Kon about the electronic music band D-Keizer Zaps and how they were considered "ahead of their own time" for their futuristic-sounding music, leading to this exchange.

* TimeTravelEpisode: "Ahead of Our Own Tone" sees Grojband (sans Kin) go one year into the future to see what music is like so they can return to the past and unleash the trend before it started, only for their plans to be derailed by the discovery that future Peaceville is now ruled by a cyborg version of Trina who ha smind controlled nearly everyone in town.

* TheVoiceless: Every band member of the The Newmans in the first half of season one, save for Carrie and Konnie (with the latter only having a single line in "Space Jammin'"). Lenny gets his first lines in "Rock the House" while Kim only speaks in "Kon-Fusion".
