1* DiedDuringProduction: Darby Crash died in December 1980 (notably, the day before John Lennon was murdered), and Lorna Doom died in early 2019.
2* ColbertBump: ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoV'' introduced the band to a new generation of listeners by featuring "Lexicon Devil" on its Channel X radio station.
3* HeAlsoDid: Pat Smear went on to play with Music/{{Nirvana}} and Music/FooFighters.
4* PromotedFanboy: Drummer Don Bolles famously drove from Arizona to audition for the band; fortunately for him, he was better than the others who auditioned before him and was hired.
5* ShortLivedBigImpact: For a band that only existed for three years and never left Los Angeles on tour, they've still got a pretty decent fanbase. The reunion, movie, and their performance in ''The Decline of Western Civilization'' helped.
6* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
7** Music/TheGerms had auditioned (along with several other bands) to be in the movie ''Film/UpInSmoke''. However, due to their chaotic live shows and an unscripted food fight that broke out during their set, they were the only band that played that never received a call back.
8** One of the early members of The Germs was (or would have been, if she hadn't been laid low by mononucleosis for a year) Music/BelindaCarlisle, who went on to front Music/TheGoGos.
