** The "Popscene" single recieved negative reviews at the time and was a commercial flop - enough so that Blur decided not to include it on ''Modern Life is Rubbish'' - but grew in esteem over time and is now considered a classic that was the TropeMaker for {{Britpop}}.

* SuspiciouslySimilarSong: Done deliberately with "Song 2", which the band made as a parody of Music/{{Nirvana}}'s [[Music/{{Nevermind}} "Smells Like Teen Spirit"]].

!!The Band




!!The Game
* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: Thanks, Ninja Tune Records!
* FriendlyFandoms: With ''VideoGame/ModNationRacers'' and ''VideoGame/SplitSecond2010'' due to having similar premises and being released at the same month.
* GameBreaker: There's a playlist in multiplayer for novices at level 10 or lower. However, if you never leave this playlist, then you can't get kicked out, so there were level 50 players beating up on level 1 novices as a result.
* OlderThanTheyThink: The ''VideoGame/MidnightClub'' games (''3'' in particular), which came out before this game, also had a similar premise with realistic cars using kart-racing power-ups. Unlike ''Blur'' though, it was an optional feature.
* ShallowParody: The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=08dbXQFyOLI commercial]] did one of these directed at the ''VideoGame/MarioKart'' series.
** Funnily enough, [[MisaimedFandom a lot of people have expressed that they have more interest]] in the ShallowParody of ''Mario Kart'' compared to Blur.

Added DiffLines:

* SignatureSong: "Song 2", obviously. If it's not that, it's probably either "Parklife" or "Girls and Boys"

* FaceOfTheBand: Damon Albarn. And Graham Coxon, for people more in the know of the band.

Added DiffLines:

* ObviousBeta: A rare music example in ''Parklife'''s "Far Out". Compare [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DTd5j6S337s the song that ended in the album]] against [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E9UYA2EY2DQ its demo]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RUWEzsKqPJE a remix that completes the album song]]. Chances are that you will prefer either the demo or the remix over the final track due to how they basically ''chopped half the song'' on its way to the album.
** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z2NorSMvNzA Alex's Song]]" from the same album's B-sides also suffers from this, due to Alex James {{Corpsing}} heavily against the pitch distortion and eventually giving in and dropping out of the mic to laugh. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v9g7zM_HSIc The demo]] has some extra content compared to the "finished" song. It seems Alex James tends to get the short end of the stick when it comes to his songs...
