** Even at the height of their popularity, some criticized the band's lyrics for objectifying and demeaning women, promoting revenge porn and even making light of ''killing'' women who reject them. When numerous sexual abuse allegations against Dahvie Vanity and the tactics he employed to silence and discredit those that spoke up later came to wider public attention, it made the already problematic lyrics infinitely worse.

* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForKids: In their heyday, Blood on the Dance Floor were largely popular with preteens and teenagers. It made some sense on the surface; the band's aethestic and sound leaned heavily into the scene subculture, which was mostly popular among teens. However, many of the band's lyrics were decidedly not for younger audiences, with strong profanity and explicit sexual references. It didn't stop a lot of young teens from listening to their music, though, to the point they formed the band's primary demographic. This took an especially dark turn with the serious allegations that Dahvie Vanity had been taking advantage of fans as young as ten and abusing them.

* CondemnedByHistory: As of 2018, between the abuse allegations towards Dahvie, scene fashion and {{Crunkcore}} being firmly dead in the water, and fans either outgrowing them or following Jayy Von Monroe after his departure, they have become this. When they ''finally'' formally called it quits in 2019, people were mostly just surprised that Dahvie still had a career after all that time, especially in the era of [=#MeToo=]. Many commenters mentioned that they had heard credible allegations stretching back to over a decade ago and almost seemed skeptical that this was going to finally kill them off, as Dahvie was notoriously good at [[ControversyProofImage not getting controversy to stick to him for very long]].

Spotify also went so far as to remove the band's songs from their catalogue in 2019, stating their lyrics promoted hate speech in violation of their policy; many of BOTDF's detractors had been saying for years that a lot of their songs come off as misogynistic.

** Considering that they're named after a Music/MichaelJackson song, the fact that Jackson's posthumous image was finally tarnished from his pedophilia allegations shortly after Davhie's long-standing ones came to the mainstream is this.

* OvershadowedByControversy: It goes without saying, but what ''is'' notable is that while Dahvie was finally taken out of the running in 2019, there were credible allegations that stretched back to ''2007''. The reason why Dahvie was able to evade any career-ending consequences back during the [=MySpace=] and scene eras can be chalked up to Dahvie cultivating a rabid, cult-like fanbase of impressionable young girls who were quite willing to buy his "people are just jealous and they're just sluts making stuff up for attention" explanation. After the death of the scene era, Dahvie was able to fly under the radar precisely because scene was dead, the band's audience was now niche and he was out of the public eye because of it, and many people had honestly forgotten that Blood on the Dance Floor was even still a thing aside from the occasional weak mention of "the dude from Blood on the Dance Floor" whenever a musician from a famous scene or Warped Tour act was accused of sexual assault.

* AwesomeMusic: Even the band's detractors admit to finding some of their music to be better than expected, with some good examples being "Where's My Wonderland," "The Age of the Young and Hopeless," and "Call Me Master." The common trait among all of these songs is they're some of the band's more melodic and less "party/rave" centric songs, along with having almost no rapping or screaming sections.
