33	!! Troped Out!
34	* BeingWatched: "Everybody's Watching Me (Uh-Oh)", which is this trope either on a literal level or as a metaphor for fame.
35	* ClingyJealousGirl: "W.D.Y.W.F.M.?" is about a relationship with one, who apparently "took control" before the singer could break up with her.
36	* DeliberatelyMonochrome: Their album artwork and their music videos.
37	* DestructiveRomance: "Ferrari":
38	-->''"You and I are two oceans apart\
39	We're on earth to break each others hearts"''
40	* DisappearedDad: Implied in "R.I.P. 2 My Youth". "Tell my sister don't cry and don't be sad / I'm in paradise with Dad."
41	** And outright stated in "Daddy Issues", which is about Jesse and a girl bonding over their shared issues with their dads.
42	* EpicInstrumentalOpener: "How".
43	%%* EveryoneWentToSchoolTogether
44	%%Can someone explain?
45	* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: "A Moment of Silence" is a 30-second track of... well guess.
46	* FalseFriend: The singer's friends in "Afraid" always lie to him... [[SanitySlippageSong maybe]].
47	* FanCommunityNickname: Fans (and the band itself) generally call the fan community "hoodlums".
48	* FunWithAcronyms: [[AvertedTrope Averted]] by "W.D.Y.W.F.M?", which stands for "What Do You Want From Me?", but does not spell a word itself.
49	* GrowingUpSucks: "R.I.P. 2 My Youth", which compares growing up to dying.
50	** And "Alleyways", which is about growing up and realizing that you've lost part of yourself along the way.
51	* HeartbeatSoundtrack: The drums of "R.I.P. 2 My Youth" turn into the rhythm of a heartbeat, which fades away at the end of the song.
52	* HopeIsScary: "Cry Baby", which is about the singer struggling not to fall in love again after being hurt before, but eventually deciding that if they both admit their feelings things will work out in the end.
53	* IdiosyncraticCoverArt: All of their album artworks feature a symbol consisting of an upside-down house, save for the "Sweater Weather" single.
54	* IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming: Their first two [=EPs=], ''I'm Sorry...'' and ''Thank You'', and their first studio album, ''I Love You.'', are all simple, common phrases people speak to each other in everyday life, followed by punctuation.
55	* TheInsomniac: "Staying Up" is about one, who can't sleep because of all the bad dreams he has, and the fear that there's ''something'' out there.
56	* IntercourseWithYou: "A Little Death".
57	** "Sweater Weather" though not entirely about it, seemed to head in that direction judging by the lyrics.
58	* JustFriends: "The Beach" is about the singer struggling with whether to tell a close friend of his that he has romantic feelings for her.
59	* Letters2Numbers: "R.I.P. 2 My Youth".
60	* LoveHurts: "Prey", where getting a RelationshipUpgrade just made things worse. "It all hurts, it all hurts just the same."
61	* LovingAShadow: In "Flawless", the singer falls in love with a girl because she was 'flawless', and found out once they were in a relationship that he couldn't love her because (being a person) she wasn't perfect.
62	* LuckyCharmsTitle: "$ting"
63	* LyricalDissonance: While most of their songs sound upbeat, their lyrics are often anything but, often talking about SanitySlippage or worry.
64	* MissingMom: In "Baby Came Home 2", instead of the usual DisappearedDad. "Mommy's gone and Daddy's doing his best."
65	* NonAppearingTitle: "Female Robbery", "Sweater Weather", and "Baby Came Home 2 / Valentines".
66	* ObsessionSong: In "Baby Came Home", the singer gets more and more possessive of the girl he's involved with, repeating "She's mine, she's mine" even after she tells him to stay away.
67	* OneSteveLimit: They chose to spell "The Neighbo'''u'''rhood" the British way so they wouldn't be confused with "The Neighborhood", an already existing band who spelled it the American way.
68	* ParentalAbandonment: Jesse's father left his family and then died, which is a theme in several of their songs.
69	* PokeThePoodle: [[http://www.coupdemainmagazine.com/interviews/interview-bryan-sammis-i-love-you-debut-album-neighbourhood?page=8 When Bryan was asked]] what the most despicable thing he'd even done was, he reluctantly admitted that... he'd once graffitied stick figures and smiley faces on a park.[[note]]With spray paint, admittedly, so it did mean that the park service had to send time and money cleaning it off.[[/note]]
70	-->'''CDM:''' Smiley faces are pretty despicable.\
71	'''BRYAN:''' Yeah, I’m super hardcore.
72	* PrecisionFStrike: "Afraid", "Alleyways", "W.D.Y.W.F.M.?" and "Flawless". Like Music/{{CHVRCHES}} and Music/{{The 1975}}, while [=iTunes=] gives "Afraid" an "EXPLICIT" tag, they don't for any other song.
73	* SanitySlippageSong: "Afraid" and "Female Robbery".
74	* SequelSong: Subverted. "Baby Came Home 2" doesn't have any connection to the earlier song "Baby Came Home".
75	* SillyRabbitIdealismIsForKids: In "R.I.P. 2 My Youth":
76	-->''"I was naive and hopeful and lost\
77	Now I'm aware and driving my thoughts"''
78	* SirSwearsALot: Jesse.
79	* SongStyleShift: After the second chorus, "Sweater Weather" suddenly stops in its tracks and comes back with a slower sound.
80	* SpeakingLikeTotallyTeen: All of them, really, but Jesse especially.
81	* StalkerWithoutACrush: The kidnappers in "Female Robbery" ''"Went everywhere I go / Walked into the store right behind me / Stood in line right beside me and followed me to my home"''.
82	* StarCrossedLovers: Mixed with MarriedToTheJob; "Softcore" deals with the bandmates' struggles to conciliate their love life with their on-the-road career as musicians, and how these problems can deteriorate their relationships without meaning it.
83	* TattooAsCharacterType: Jesse and his girlfriend in "Baby Came Home 2", who "Got our names tattooed on each other / Just to prove to each other / That we'd do what we said."
84	* TextlessAlbumCover: ''I Love You.''
85	* ThroughTheEyesOfMadness: It's difficult to tell what's the truth in "Afraid", considering the singer's paranoia and anxiety talking.
86	** The immensely ominous music of "Female Robbery" definitely implies that someone really ''should'' call the police, even though the singer says not to and that he knows he'll be fine.
87	* TheStoner: Their three essentials on the tour bus include: weed, water, and wi-fi.
88	* UnrequitedLoveLastsForever: "Greetings From California":
89	-->''"Handcuffed and I thought of you\
90	Made love and I thought of you\
