* SampledUp: Good luck watching ''anything'' on Website/YouTube that has Arthur Brown's "Fire" in it without the inevitable "Lord of the Game" reference in the comment section.

* [[FanNickname Fan Adjective]]: ''Noided'', a word that's [[OlderThanTheyThink been around since the 90s]] to mean "annoyed", but has been repurposed in the lyrics of "I've Seen Footage" to mean "paranoid". In practice, most Death Grips fans use it in the context of "excited" or "psyched".

* TrueArtIsIncomprehensible:
** Don't try to "get" Death Grips lyrics. Just don't.
--->'''Deep Web:''' ''I'M THE COAT HANGER IN YOUR MAN'S VAGINA!!!''
** In their farewell note, a portion of it read: "Death Grips was and always has been a conceptual art exhibition anchored by sound and vision. above and beyond a 'band'."
** Their Instagram often falls under this; strange images are uploaded with zero context, sometimes repeatedly (with the most extreme example being a bottle full of cigarettes being posted '''45 times in a row''').

Renamed one trope.


* QuestionableCasting: Collaborators that worked alongside the band for ''Year of the Snitch'' include [[HarshNoise Lucas]] [[{{Squick}} Abela]], [[Music/{{Tool}} Justin Chancellor]], and, of all people, '''[[WesternAnimation/{{Shrek}} Andrew]]''' '''[[Film/TheLionTheWitchAndTheWardrobe Adamson]].''' [[Creator/RobertPattinson Robert Pattinson's]] appearance on "Birds" could also count as this.

* FaceOfTheBand:
** MC Ride, although Hill is this to rock fans.
** In the few interviews we have of the band, Hill does all the talking with Andy chirping in every so often. MC Ride remains silent. However, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7kWdpEnJfxI in this Pitchfork interview]], it's actually inverted; Ride (although it's really more of Stefan) does all the talking in his natural voice, and Hill remains silent.

* CreepyAwesome: MC Ride. Probably best demonstrated with his absolutely batshit performance in the "You Might Think" music video video.

Uncanny Valley is IUEO now and the subjective version has been split; cleaning up misuse and ZCE in the process


* UncannyValley: The Music/{{Bjork}} samples on ''Niggas on the Moon'', which are twisted and looped in a way that makes them sound creepily inhuman.

Added DiffLines:

* CryForTheDevil: Make no mistake, MC Ride’s persona is a violent, SocialDarwinist lunatic, but it’s become clear just how utterly he’s been driven to the brink by his lifestyle, to the point where his existence is essentially AndIMustScream by “Centuries of Damn.”


Added DiffLines:

* JerkassWoobie: MC Ride’s stage persona is a violent, deranged criminal, but his sheer degree of increasing madness, depression and existential despair are tragic, to the point where he’s openly begging for death in “Come Up and Get Me”.

** "Inanimate Sensation" is a completely ridiculous song on paper, what with its production that has been compared to "A chorus of screaming [[WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy Peter Griffins]]" and the weird funhouse effects MC Ride puts on his voice throughout the song, but the band manages to make it a CrazyAwesome banger when it could have been an unlistenable mess.

Mondegreen the trope is In-Universe-Examples Only


** Ride screaming "MY MAN!" in "Turned Off", mainly because [[{{Mondegreen}} it sounds like he's saying "MOMMY!"]]
