** "Dancing with the Moonlit Knight" begins in a folk style, probably as a tribute to Genesis' then label-mates Lindisfarne.

** The song "Blood on the Rooftops" has the line "The grime on the Tyne is mine all mine all mine", referencing Lindisfarne's famous "Fog on the Tyne".

** The band itself. They went from prog rock heavyweights with a largely 18-34 year old male audience to ubiquitous soft rock titans popular with housewives and soccer moms everywhere (though, in fairness, the prog rock elements never went away and remained a part of every album and every tour).

* ScrewThisI'mOuttaHere: You could say most departures from this group, outside of perhaps Phil Collins, who left under more amicable terms, was some version of this.

** Anthony Phillips, who partially left due to crippling stage fright that damaged his health, but also left because he felt there were too many songwriters in the group and that his contributions weren't being acknowledged.
** Peter Gabriel, who felt the group was unsympathetic to his wife's challenging pregnancy.
** Steve Hackett, who wanted more songwriting credits and time to do solo work.
** Daryl Stuermer and Chester Thompson both briefly left the band when they asked Tony Banks and Mike Rutherford to become full time members after the departure of Phil Collins in 1996, but Banks and Rutherford refused. Stuermer returned for the reunions in 2006 and 2020 and Thompson for the 2006 reunion, but he left the band for good in 2010 after having a falling out with Phil Collins.

Added DiffLines:

* CharacterizationMarchesOn: Peter Gabriel started out as a typical front man. It wasn't until "Foxtrot" when his personality became much more eccentric and the costumes became a part of the act.
** Steve Hackett had a beard, glasses and sat while he played early on. He also was mainly just the guitarist, with his song writing contributions limited. Bill Bruford helped him develop more confidence during the "Trick of the Tail" tour and by the last album he did with the band ("Wind & Wuthering"), he no longer had facial hair or wore glasses, he stood while performing, and he became the second most important songwriter in the group, behind only Tony Banks.
** Phil Collins went from a drummer providing backing vocals and occasionally lead vocals, to a lead singer who became the face of the band.

Genesis has several distinct eras, though the transitions between them are somewhat more gradual than the popular telling would have you believe. The first period is quite brief, is often forgotten, and is actually a source of CanonDiscontinuity; the band writes their first album, ''From Genesis to Revelation'', out of their official discographies entirely and have commented that it only remains in print because they do not control the rights to it, though this is more a case of dissatisfaction with the arrangements than with the songs. (They featured demo versions of several of its songs on a box set they released in the late '90s and have commented that they are primarily dissatisfied with the saccharine production forced upon them by ExecutiveMeddling.) It features some slight Christian themes and has a more relaxed, poppy sound, which might be jarring for fans who got interested in the band during their later years.
