Basic Trope: Vinyl records shatter easily, and often make glass-like sounds when they do.
- Straight: Alice accidentally breaks a record by dropping it on the ground, and it shatters like glass.
- Exaggerated:
- Alice accidentally breaks a whole stack of records by bumping into them.
- Alice barely even touched the record, and it shattered into a million pieces.
- Downplayed:
- The record does shatter, but doesn't make glass-like sounds.
- The record only shatters when held notably roughly.
- Justified:
- The record was made of shellac, which actually does break similar to glass.
- The record is made of vinyl but age and poor storage have rendered it brittle.
- Inverted: For some reason, a glass plate breaks more like a vinyl record.
- Subverted: ???
- Double Subverted: ???
- Parodied: ???
- Zig-Zagged: ???
- Averted:
- The record does not break.
- There are no vinyl records in the work.
- Enforced: The Coconut Effect, since many would expect vinyl records to do this.
