History YMMV / Ladytron

** It's safe to say that the fandom of the {{racing game}} series ''VideoGame/NeedForSpeed'' has a great appreciation for Ladytron and vice versa, after "Fighting in Built Up Areas" and "Sugar" were used in ''VideoGame/NeedForSpeedCarbon'', and "Ghosts" in ''VideoGame/NeedForSpeedUndercover''. Even a "Pepega" mod for ''VideoGame/NeedForSpeedProStreet'' (which originally had no Ladytron songs) adds "Ghosts" to the game.

** "Fighting in Build Up Areas" usually tends to bring up people mentioning ''VideoGame/NeedForSpeedCarbon'', in which it's used as the {{Leitmotif}} for one of the game's bosses, Kenji.

* TestosteroneBrigade: The group certainly seems to have a enclave of male fans that best remember them as "that electronic band fronted by two cute chicks". Comment sections on their music videos tend to feature comments about people looking up their music videos to look at Helen, Mira, or both.

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: While it has been long assumed that "Seventeen" is about the fashion industry (especially given the lyrics "They take a Polaroid and let you go / Say they'll let you know..." implying an audition), a later interpretation of the song (especially when it re-emerged on [=TikTok=] in the early 2020s) that focuses on its first two lines ("They only want you when you're seventeen / When you're 21, you're no fun") makes it about a sexual predator preying on young women. Some even TakeAThirdOption and argue that it can be about both things, especially since sexual misconduct in the fashion industry has been known to be pervasive.

** "Ghosts" for its use in ''VideoGame/LittleBigPlanet 2'' and ''VideoGame/NeedForSpeedUndercover''.[[note]]It's safe to say that the ''Need for Speed'' community has a great appreciation for Ladytron, since a "Pepega" mod for ''VideoGame/NeedForSpeedProStreet'' (which originally had no Ladytron songs) also adds "Ghosts" to the game.[[/note]]
* SuspiciouslySimilarSong: "He Took Her to a Movie", their very first song, features a beat that it's very similar to the one in Music/{{Kraftwerk}}'s "Das Model".

* FaceOfTheBand: {{Subverted|Trope}}; while Helen and Mira by far feature the most on artwork/merchandise, as well as both being the main singers, anybody who can name more than two songs by the band can probably tell you who the other members are. That being said, it's still telling that [[https://i.discogs.com/CgsAODc8D1SnaKyTmQr8vIVb-yD8X2pjWhd4cHeLwmI/rs:fit/g:sm/q:40/h:300/w:300/czM6Ly9kaXNjb2dz/LWRhdGFiYXNlLWlt/YWdlcy9SLTIyNTA3/OC0xMTMyMzQzNTY3/LmpwZWc.jpeg the original cover]] for ''Light & Magic'' was replaced in subsequent reissues with [[https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/AugAAOSwc-tY5UqD/s-l500.jpg a cover featuring Helen and Mira]] (originally used for the U.S. release) with Daniel Hunt and Reuben Wu [[https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51HRmw1C3-L.jpg on the back]].
