* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: When Alanis released ''Jagged Little Pill'' in 1995, she became a megastar across the border, but had a tough time getting airplay in her home country of Canada, because she already had a past there as a Debbie Gibson-style teen-pop diva in the early '90s. In fact, Ottawa media outlets were flooded with complaints from disgusted citizens when she was given a key to the city.

* ToughActToFollow: Despite selling 2.4 million copies in the US, it's tough not to consider ''Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie'' a [[SophomoreSlump disappointment]] when compared with ''Jagged Little Pill''[='=]s '''16 million''' copies. It didn't help that ''Junkie'' was far more experimental than ''Pill'', and a sharp divergence in Alanis' sound, becoming more DarkerAndEdgier and including elements like creepy Eastern string sections, heavier sampling, and louder guitars.
* VindicatedByHistory: There are many notable parodies of Alanis's singing style during her peak in the 1990s and early 2000s. In 2015 and 2016, she returned to the public eye to promote the 20th anniversary of ''Jagged Little Pill''. Now in her early forties, Alanis's songs from that time period still seem as fresh as they did in the 1990's.

* AssPull: The music video for ''Crazy''. [[spoiler:The only hint that the unnamed blonde is Alanis' girlfriend is the photo by Alanis' bedside near the start of the video, which is small, easily missed, and easily mistaken for a photo of two friends. When Alanis confronts the couple at the club, the girlfriend doesn't remotely react how you'd expect a cheater to. [[DullSurprise She barely reacts at all]], in fact. Even at the ''end'' of the video, she doesn't seem a bit worried about how her violent girlfriend will react. On a RewatchBonus, you may realize ''why'' the guy looks stunned, not guilty, while the bouncer hauls Alanis out of the club, because the blond just presumably told him the truth, but on the first watch it looks like the blonde just dumped him because she learned he was a cheater.]]
