27* CoverVersion: Quite a few, including songs by Music/TaylorSwift, Music/FiveSecondsOfSummer, Music/SamSmith, Music/EdSheeran, Music/KatyPerry, Music/{{Paramore}}, Music/TheStorySoFar, Music/CarlyRaeJepsen, Music/EllieGoulding and even Music/{{Drake}} ft. Music/{{Rihanna}}
28* DarkerAndEdgier: "Wolves" is darker lyrically and musically than their normal uptempo anthems and the video features the band in all black clothing with a desaturated colour balance. "Navigate" is similar in tone.
29* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette: Marissa has very pale skin and dark hair and often wears makeup to accentuate the contrast.
30* {{Geek}}: All the members as shown by their own secrets in the "Secret" video - Josh cried twice while watching ''Film/StarTrekIntoDarkness'', Justin loves [[ChickFlick Chick Flicks]], Scott is a ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' master and Marissa secretly wishes she was ''Manga/SailorMoon''.
31* GenkiGirl: Marissa bounces around on stage a lot during their shows.
32* MaleBandFemaleSinger: Since the band's inception, Marissa sings and fronts the band and all the other members have been male.
33* SelfEmpowermentAnthem: "Let It Go" exhorts the listener to let go of negative things in the past and embrace the positive things in the present.
34-->''"Life is what you make it! if you want a good life then let the good things in!\
35Life is what you make it! You need to learn to let it go, let it go!\
36Life's too short to waste it! They are your mistakes to make and your heart to break!\
37It's our time to take it! You need to learn to let it go, let it go!"''
38* ShoutOut: "Punks Don't Dance" has one to the bands Music/{{Set It Off|Band}} and Music/GreenDay, and also mentions the Platform/{{Xbox}} games console, Pop Tarts and that the singer and the guy she just met had the same Vans shoes on.
39* {{Sleepwalking}}: "6 In The Morning" shows the adventures of the band's sleepwalking drummer Scott PlayedForLaughs.
40* TakeThat: "Punks Don't Dance" compares her ex's new girl to a "Pop Tart" and suggests they could "toast that".
