Per TRS, this is YMMV

Added DiffLines:

* RefrainFromAssuming:
** Somewhere, somebody thinks that "Holocene" is called "I Was Not Magnificent," or something along those lines.
** It's called "Skinny Love," not "My My My."
** It's called "The Wolves," not "What Might Have Been Lost."
** It's pretty easy to assume that "Minnesota, WI" is actually called "Never Gonna Break."

8.8 is no longer a thing. AST is now Trivia that needs a citation.


* EightPointEight: The notoriously [[CausticCritic negative]] Robert Christgau's review of ''For Emma'' and ([[FourPointScale unusually]]) Allmusic's review of ''Bon Iver.''
* AuthorsSavingThrow: A rather mild example. Though "Beth/Rest" has since become quite popular among the fandom, it was at first intensely divisive due to its {{Retraux}} style and use of Auto-Tune -- nobody quite knew how to react to it. Vernon responded by performing an entirely acoustic version featuring just him and a piano. This version is universally beloved, even among those who didn't like the original.

* LadyMondegreen: When Bon Iver won a Grammy for "best new artist", many fans of the other nominated artists were confused over just who this "[[http://who-is-bon-iver.tumblr.com/post/18386197913/wanderedoffthefarm Bonny Bear]]" was. By coincidence, there happened to be a children's educational series called Bonnie Bear - youtube videos of the show started getting inundated with joking comments about the fictional animated bear's supposed Grammy win.

* BizarroEpisode: ''22, A Million'' is by far the least insular of Bon Iver's albums.

* MostWonderfulSound: Despite the heavy {{industrial}} influences on ''22, A Million'', the album is actually filled with this, such as the backing distorted vocalizations in "22 (OVER S∞∞N)" that make up much of the main beat, the filtering in "715 - CR∑∑KS" or the distorted crescendo of "29 #Strafford APTS".
* NarmCharm: "Beth/Rest" embodies this, making use of so many [[DeadHorseTrope 80s cliches]] that it would seem horrible on paper. So ''why is it [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming so]] [[CrowningMusicOfAwesome damn]] [[TearJerker moving?]]'' '''Nobody knows.'''

* MagnumOpumDissonance: Slightly downplayed; Vernon has gone on record as saying that "Flume" [[https://twitter.com/blobtower/status/952267625853308928 is the best song that he's ever written]], and considering the song's fan-favorite status, it seems his opinion doesn't stray too far from the public's.

* {{Wangst}}: AVERTED. One would think an album called "For Emma Forever Ago" would be filled with this, but somehow it isn't.

* EveryoneIsSatanInHell: Believe it or not, a large number of the band's more religious fans are sorely convinced that Justin Vernon is now a member of TheIlluminati after the release of the lyric videos for "33 "GOD"" and "666 ʇ".
