History YMMV / LemonDemon

** The dad from "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_MHwFrt6IIo As Your Father]]." Is he a genuinely awful parent behaving in a childish way and blaming his child for things they didn't even do? Or is he a normal parent as viewed by a rebellious teenager vastly exaggerating how nagging he is?

* HarsherInHindsight / HilariousInHindsight: "Lifetime Achievement Award" certainly feels...''different'' in the era of using AI generated voice filters to make songs/covers "sung" by dead artists.

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: The dad from "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_MHwFrt6IIo As Your Father]]." Is he a genuinely awful parent behaving in a childish way and blaming his child for things they didn't even do? Or is he a normal parent as viewed by a rebellious teenager vastly exaggerating how nagging he is?

%% * FoeYayShipping: It seems to be going on in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfsb5HUFMQ0 "Ben Bernanke,"]] [[WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs from what can be]] [[MindScrew understood of the song]].

* AcceptableTargets:
** The song "eBaum's World dot Com" is essentially one long TakeThat at Eric Bauman, who the Internet is not exactly fond of.
** "Reaganomics" is a TakeThat at the 80s economic concept of the same name, the effects of which are largely understood to have contributed to the financial crisis of the late 00s.

** Although not mentioned explicitly in the song, it's very common for fan designs of Cabinet Man to have "arms" made of wires, likely to explain how he can do things like hurt cheaters and eat maintenance men.

** "You're at the Party," a bonus track, which ([[AmbiguousSituation possibly]]) deals with the listener ''dying''.

** Spirit Phone also falls under this category, due to the violence described and generally disturbing songs that can go into NightmareFuel territory.

* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForKids: Lemon Demon does have mild cursing and violence in his other works, but is usually pretty family-friendly. But it is surprising when the "Nature Tapes" EP only has 2 non-explicit songs.

** The song "[=eBaum's=] World dot Com" is essentially one long TakeThat at Eric Bauman, who the Internet is not exactly fond of.

** ''Indie Cindy and the Lo-Fi Lullabies'' ends with Cindy giving up on making music because she thought nobody cared.

** "Reaganomics" is a TakeThat at the 80's economic concept of the same name, the effects of which are largely understood to have contributed to the financial crisis of the late 00's.

* SignatureSong: "The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny" for Lemon Demon as a whole. If we're just talking the songs on ''Spirit Phone'', then "Touch-Tone Telephone" is this by a long shot, followed closely by "Cabinet Man".

** Audio bites from ''Spirit Phone'' (and occasionally other albums) are popular to [[ManipulativeEditing remix]] in POV videos, often [[MemeticPsychopath depicting Neil]] [[https://youtu.be/tWKAmQ-k-VQ threatening]] [[https://youtu.be/N5Sy4Yrl9_A the]] [[https://youtu.be/SRxz4rGS6Hc viewer]] [[https://youtu.be/na2DbSmA_nU in]] [[https://youtu.be/TkeFh1j9xZ0 some]] [[https://youtu.be/x18WKBYqSoI way]].

* GrowingTheBeard: ''Spirit Phone'' was a large step forward in songwriting and scope compared to Lemon Demon's more novelty-driven early output. In turn, it was the band's first LP to be positively noticed by music fans and professional critics as a full album, breaking it from its "meme two-hit wonder" status into legitimately respected synthpop project.

* MemeticMutation: "The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny" is probably the most well-known Lemon Demon song due to the popular flash animation based upon it, and "BRODYQUEST" also gained notoriety to the point of receiving multiple remixes and being noticed by the actual Adrien Brody. Two Trucks has also somewhat reached this status.

** "You're at the Party," a bonus track, which ([[AnbiguousSituation possibly]]) deals with the listener ''dying''.

* SignatureSong: "The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny" for Lemon Demon as a whole. If we’re just talking the songs on ''Spirit Phone'', then "Touch-Tone Telephone" is this by a long shot, followed closely by "Cabinet Man".

Or is he a normal parent as viewed by a rebellious teenager vastly exaggerating how nagging he is?

** "When He Died", off ''Spirit Phone'' might be one of the scariest songs Neil's written due to the SurrealHorror of the lyrics contrasting with the bright and happy instrumentals.
** "You're at the Party", a bonus track, deals with the listener ''dying''.
** "Cabinet Man", about a man who converted himself into a bizarre human/arcade cabinet hybrid that looks like a perfectly ordinary arcade cabinet. [[ImAHumanitarian He survives on a diet of maintenance men]].

* SignatureSong: ''The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny''.
** If we’re just talking the songs on ''Spirit Phone'', then ''Touch-Tone Telephone'' is this by a long shot.

* {{Fanon}}: A popular interpretation of Touch-Tone Telephone (especially in fanmade music videos or animation memes) is that the main character also had a crush on the radio host they kept trying to contact.

* TearJerker: Depending on how much you relate, [[MeaningfulName SAD]], a song about Seasonal Affective Disorder, can be this.
