1 | '''Basic Trope''': An opener to a song, preferably one of [[EpicRocking considerable length,]] that is particularly notable, or a song that [[SiameseTwinSongs fades perfectly into the other.]] |
2 | * '''Straight''': The first track on an album by The Alice and Bob Project, a Music/ProgressiveRock band, is an instrumental, that fades into the first performance on the album. |
3 | * '''Exaggerated''': The first track is an [[EpicRocking eleven-minute-long]] raging, metallic instrumental, that devolves into the second track, a [[MinisculeRocking thirty-second-long]] acoustic vocal performance that serves as its denouement, or coda. |
4 | * '''Downplayed''' |
5 | ** The intro is of normal length, but is still more up on the MediaNotes/MohsScaleOfRockAndMetalHardness than the rest of the song. |
6 | ** The intro contains {{spoken word|InMusic}}s throughout it. |
7 | * '''Justified''' |
8 | ** The opener is part of a [[EpicRocking side-long suite]]; if there's lyrics everywhere, it will draw on too long. |
9 | ** The opener serves the purpose to pump the listeners up. |
10 | * '''Inverted''' |
11 | ** LyricalColdOpen |
12 | ** A minute-long vocal performance fades into a three-minute-long instrumental. |
13 | ** The instrumental closes the album or song. |
14 | * '''Subverted''': The track, at first, appears to be instrumental, but then somebody will StepUpToTheMicrophone and sing for a little bit... |
15 | * '''Double Subverted''': ...only for those to turn out to be the only lyrics. |
16 | * '''Parodied''': The first song opens with the lyrics "Well, that got you pumped up, didn't it?" |
17 | * '''Zig-Zagged''': (continued from Double Subverted) The lyrics then turn out to be sporadic, but then after a 15-minute instrumental solo, the lyrics return. Then comes an anti-climactic sudden stop, only for there to still be quiet instrumentation beneath it. Then, the singer will say, "Goodbye!" |
18 | * '''Averted''' |
19 | ** There are no instrumental openers. |
20 | ** There are no instruments; the music is a capella. |
21 | ** There is no band. |
22 | * '''Enforced''': "We have some space left on the record, so why not [[AlbumFiller put something there in it's place?"]] |
23 | * '''Lampshaded''': ??? |
24 | * '''Invoked''': ??? |
25 | * '''Exploited''': The instrumental opener gives time for the rest of the band to do something else, or prepare for the second half of the song. |
26 | * '''Defied''': ??? |
27 | * '''Discussed''': ??? |
28 | * '''Conversed''': ??? |
