While the song wasn't originally intended to be about gender dysphoria, this interpretation got ApprovalOfGod and the band put out a music video for it a year after the song was released that leaned into this interpretation.

** "Linda Ronstadt," "People."
** Even though they're fairly depressing songs, the empathy and kindness of "People II 2: Still Peoplin'" and "Zombie by the Cranberries by Andrew Jackson Jihad" can put a smile on your face.
** "Temple Grandin."
** Their live concerts, which are so intense and cathartic that [[http://www.sfbg.com/noise/2014/07/30/tears-beers-and-bruises-slims-andrew-jackson-jihad one reviewer noted]] that he'd "never seen more people cry at a show." There's something kind of sweet about seeing so many people [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F9xc8nIxpCU screaming along to "Love in the Time of Human Papillomavirus."]]
** "Maggie" is an incredibly sincere and vulnerable song about love and depending on one another, made more heartwarming by the fact that it's told from the perspective of a dog. Sean has done livestreams together with the dog who inspired the song.
--> "Because I know that you know what I need better than I do, and I know that you need me more than that."

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: Most of People Who Can Eat People and Knife Man count, especially if the song includes the word "people" in the title.
* CrossesTheLineTwice: Frequently and enthusiastically. They tend to tackle extremely loaded and personal topics such as alcoholism, suicide, homelessness, racism, and even Sean's dad abandoning him with a great deal of black comedy.
* CultClassic: ''People Who Can Eat People'' and ''Knife Man'' especially, but all of their studio albums could qualify.
* EnsembleDarkhorse:
** They're one of the few bands in folk-punk that have managed to break free from the label and gain fans even among people who don't like the genre.
** Their most famous songs, "People II: The Reckoning" and "Big Bird," were never released as singles or given music videos.
* EvenBetterSequel: ''People who Can Eat People'' is this to ''Candy Cigarettes and Cap Guns.''

** The description of God in "Rejoice".
** The opening verse of "Bells & Whistles".
** The frantic "Bad Bad Things," from the perspective of a serial killer, can be seriously unsettling if heard in the right mood.
** "A Song Dedicated to the Memory of Stormy the Rabbit," a creepy, dirgelike waltz backed up by off-key horns. The strangeness of the lyrics just adds to the nightmarish atmosphere.
** They managed to find a way to make ''kazoos'' unsettling- they're the odd buzzing noise in the background of "A Song Dedicated to the Memory of Stormy the Rabbit" and "Bad Bad Things."
** "Coffin Dance."
* OldShame:
** Sean has said that he feels like some of the songs on ''Candy Cigarettes and Cap Guns'' were too judgmental, which is why the band doesn't play them live as much anymore. In particular he's mentioned being uncomfortable with the early track "Ladykiller."
** In [[http://wqhsradio.tumblr.com/post/34514038650/were-like-a-56-year-old-dog-a-conversation-with this interview]] he expresses a dislike of "Scenesters" for its generally mean-spirited tone.

** In spite of their comic titles, "Love in the Time of Human Papillomavirus" and "Love Will Fuck Us Apart" definitely qualify.
** From ''Christmas Island:'' "Do Re and Me" (about the Heaven's Gate suicides), "Angel of Death," "I Wanna Rock Out in My Dreams," and "Linda Ronstadt" (which is more of the TearsOfJoy variety).
