Nightmare Fuel cleanup; see the thread for details


* HighOctaneNightmareFuel: "I'm Just a Killer For Your Love" is a pretty disturbing song. [[CrowningMusicOfAwesome It is also really cool-sounding.]]

* CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming: After Graham Coxon left, it became a tradition for the audience to sing his part of the fan-favorite song "Tender" live- "oh my baby/oh why/oh my". It became a sort of plea for him to return to the band. This made [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wgo2VwMXdNY the reunion show where the song was performed again]] all the more heartwarming and triumphant.

!!The Game
* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: Thanks, Ninja Tune Records!
* CharacterTiers
* EightPointEight: IGN. Oh, IGN. The reviewer gave it a 7 because he couldn't win online matches of ten to twenty players, and assumed it was the game and not himself. Later, IGN UK gives the game a much higher score, making the American review look even more unprofessional.
* 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 are level 50 players beating up on level 1 novices as a result. No word yet on a patch to fix this.
* MostAnnoyingSound: The high-pitched squeal when a Shunt is coming your way. You better have a Barge or Shield handy, or a Shunt to fire backwards...
* ShallowParody

* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: Notably averted; their {{Genre Shift}}s were mostly well-received.
* VindicatedByHistory: ''Especially'' in America, their critical stature increased as years went by. By the end of the 90's, Many of the same American publications who negatively reviewed their earlier work were now putting records like ''Modern Life is Rubbish'' and ''Parklife'' into their Best Albums of the Decade lists.

This is an In Universe trope. Not a YMMV. Trope is misused.


* {{Mondegreen}}: The folks making RockBand misheard the LoopedLyrics at the end of "Beetlebum" as "He's on it". It's actually "Piss on it," arguably stranger than the mondegreen version. (Or could be a case of {{Bowdlerization}}.)

* LyricalDissonance: "Country House" is a bright, shiny pop tune about a horribly depressed rich man dealing with the emptiness of his existence.
** See the MisaimedFandom example, below - many, if not most of their songs have LyricalDissonance to some degree. They epitomize the very {{Britpop}} tendency of marrying rather melancholy lyrics to bouncy, bubbly pop songs.

The use of Pm Wiki namespaces for both disambiguation of similarly titled works and different aspects of a single work is going to get us in trouble, especially once almost every work page gets its own YMMV page.

* FunnyAneurysmMoment: In the 1999 video for "Coffee & TV" - perhaps the band's [[MusicVideoOvershadowing most famous video]] - The man missing on the back of the milk carton is played by the band's guitarist Graham Coxon. By the time of the 2003 release of their next album, ''Think Tank'', he ''was'' missing from Blur, having quit the band a few years earlier in acrimony.
