Have a question about how the TVTropes wiki works? No one knows this community better than the people in it, so ask away! Ask the Tropers is the page you come to when you have a question burning in your brain and the support pages didn't help.

"Amen, Brother" is the name of the song itself; the Amen Break is just the frequently sampled drum break, so I'm not sure if the Music namespace is right for just part of a song. Either way, I'm starting to wonder if tropes about parts of music (samples, reused riffs, etc.) have the same problem as appearance tropes, by which I mean context is hard to provide in text form.
Edit: Clicked on the music index and ended up checking Bo Diddley Beat to see if my hunch is correct. Indeed, most examples in the Music section of that trope are Weblinks at best and ZCEs at worst.

Here are a couple things I've noticed with the page Amen break:
- The page consists almost entirely of zero-context examples. One of the examples listed is "DE-SIRE alternative - "Trip Machine PhoeniX", which doesn't explain how or where the amen break is used in the song.
- It might not be in the correct namespace. Generally, lists of every appearance of a song go in the Music/ namespace. Examples: Ode to Joy, Pachelbel's Canon, Ride of the Valkyries, The Cancan Song. Should we move Amen break to the Music/ namespace, or is it fine in the Main/ namespace?
