** That said, "Harness Your Hopes" was only a B-side yet is pretty much their SignatureSong today. Which is both a subversion of the trope and an example of ChartDisplacement.
* SignatureSong: "Harness Your Hopes", despite being a B-side, has become their most popular track after becoming viral on social media and its huge increase on streaming platforms, especially Spotify. Otherwise, there's their hit "Cut Your Hair".

** "Ann Don't Cry" from their final album ''Terror Twilight'', especially because it's sometimes interpreted as having RealitySubtext: on the surface it's a BreakupSong about a troubled romantic relationship, but it can also be read as being about the band itself breaking up.

* NauseaFuel: The first music video for "Rattled by the Rush" doesn't have any disgusting imagery, per se, but it is filled with constant, quick-moving camera movements meant to make the viewer dizzy. This worked a little ''too'' well, and it was actually pulled from MTV as a result.

** Honestly, about two-thirds of their songs could probably qualify for someone, especially starting around ''Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain'', when they started doing a lot more ballads. "Stop Breathing", "Newark Wilder", "Fillmore Jive", "Grounded", "Father to a Sister of Thought", and "Pueblo" are particularly pertinent examples from their second and third albums.
