* VindicatedByHistory: A major change in sound for the band combined with its release coming out at the time of the September 11 attacks meant ''beautifulgarbage'''s release was destined for failure. However in the years since the album has become more fondly remembered by the fanbase, with the two lead singles in particular becoming alternative LGBT-positive anthems.

** There's an absolute genius somewhere that realized "Not Your Kind of People" hit all the same underlying themes as ''Franchise/MetalGear'', and used it in the trailer for ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolidVThePhantomPain''. [[spoiler: One particular lyric about speaking a different language unintentionally foreshadows a major story element in the game.]]

** The positive intent is backed up by the band being incredibly supportive of the LGBT community in general in years since, and even featuring a trans sex worker portrayed in a positive light as the subject of the video for "Anonymous XXX"

* ValuesResonance: "Stupid Girl", 25 years later, perfectly summarizes attention seeking on [=TikTok=] and other social media platforms.

* FandomRivalry: With Music/{{Curve}}. Mostly one-sided, with a lot of Garbage hate coming from the Curve camp, but not the other way around. Garbage themselves are actually Curve fans, and Toni Halliday admitted she liked Garbage but felt they were more "poppier" than Curve. (Dean Garcia hasn't said anything.)
