19!! Soak contains examples of:
20* AlbumIntroTrack: "64" is (just barely) the shortest track on the album and introduces the album with some riffs and samples of ''VideoGame/SuperMario64''.
21* EmoMusic: Falls into "Emo Revival". Musically, it uses distorted guitars playing either MathRock-tinged riffs or power chords and the lyrics are emotional, blunt, and often yelled.
22* LastNoteNightmare: Ginger Ailment starts out as a surprisingly calm song right after Teens//Candle, one of the harder songs up to that point. About halfway through, it [[spoiler:stops for a second before launching into heavily distorted NoiseRock and stays that way for the last half of the song.]]
23* MathRock: There's some distorted math rock style riffs on the lighter songs on the album, like 64 and Stay Hydrated, Fuck Em.
24* NoiseRock: The last half of [[spoiler:Ginger Ailment. The first half is calmer and almost ambient, but the last half launches into heavy distortion and noise with no warning]].
25* NonAppearingTitle: All of the songs, except a sample in My Friends Are My Power and the HarshVocals ending of Tea And Crumpets.
26* RereleaseTheSong: Stay Hydrated, Fuck Em was released as a demo in June of 2019.
27* {{Sampling}}:
28** 64 samples VideoGame/SuperMario64, mainly Mario's voice lines and... elevator noises?
29** My Friends Are My Power samples a line from when [[spoiler:Sora battles Riku]] in VideoGame/KingdomHeartsI.
30---> ''"How will you fight without a weapon?" "I know now, I don't need the keyblade, I got a better weapon. My heart!" [...] "I don't need a weapon, my friends are my power!"''
31** Both Teens//Candle and Dr. Robot use samples from Anime/{{FLCL}}, with the latter using the "guitar hit" noise. What would you expect from a band called Guitar Fight From ''Fooly Cooly''?
32* ShoutOut: Many, throughout the album. Also see {{Sampling}}.
33** My Friends Are My Power samples a line from VideoGame/KingdomHeartsI and the lyrics talk about "feel[ing] like a Heartless" and asks "will I ever find my keyhole".
34** 4th Gen:
35--->''We're in Sinnoh and I'm fighting Team Galactic again / But you know / It won't be for too long / I'm far too distracted / Yeah / No [[VideoGame/PokemonDiamondAndPearl Diamond, Pearl, or Platinum]] for me''
36* TextlessAlbumCover: Aside from some labels you can barely make out, the cover is completely textless.
