History Music / MotherMother

* {{Crossdresser}}: The first verse in "Verbatim" describes a man who likes wearing women's underwear.

* LyricalDissonance: Certainly not unheard of from the band. A number of their songs have laid-back or fun instrumentals, but are as apt as the rest of their catalogue to delve into some rather nihilistic and less-than-cheerful lyrical content.

* UnusualEuphemism: "Arms Tonite", in which the singer describes dying in their lover's arms in a way that sounds rather, ah, ''Shakespearean'', especially given that while they're distressed afterward to be "dead" while said lover is still "alive", they get the impression their partner finds the situation ''cute.''

* AntiLoveSong: "Let's Fall In Love" doesn't have an especially high opinion of the titular emotion, describing it as a commonplace yet unlucky and thoughtless thing that just kind of ''happens to'' people and animals, whoever they are, and that leaves them with regrets.

* TakeThat: "Aspiring Fires" is a sardonic admonishment of those with romanticized, commodified, "quirky" views of mental illness.
-->''Maybe you're watching too much TV\\

* AbusiveParents: The dad in "Hayloft", assuming the last verse isn't hyperbole, judging by how he responds to finding out his child and their sweetheart are shagging in the eponymous location by grabbing his gun to ''go kill both of them.''

Mother Mother is a Canadian IndieRock band from British Columbia. The band was originally named "Mother", but they later changed their name to "Mother Mother".

In early 2020, Mother Mother blew up in popularity due to their songs - particularly "Hayloft" - gaining traction for use in [=TikToks=]. Their music often carries a spooky feel, and tends to deal with niche and emotionally dark subject matter.

* BreakUpSong: "Ghosting" is about the process of really, truly letting go of a lover on an emotional level and accepting your separation after having clung to them past the point of it being healthy, [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy especially for them]]; "Very Good Bad Thing" is about breaking off a DestructiveRomance despite the thrill and sense of power both parties derived from it; and "Love Stuck" is about working to get over a bad breakup and learn to make oneself happy.

** "Let's Fall In Love" is an energetic, confident-sounding rock tune... that makes its titular declaration ''very'' cynically.

* BreakUpSong: "Ghosting" is about the process of really, truly letting go of a lover on an emotional level and accepting your separation after having clung to them past the point of it being healthy, [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy especially for them.]]

** "Oleander" has an intensely dependent narrator who counts on their partner to support them and clean things up the fallout for them as they engage in destructive behavior, stating that they'd die without them.

[...]

* VocalTagTeam: While the majority of their vocals are provided by Ryan Guldemond, you're just about sure to hear Molly Guldemond and Jasmin Parkin on any given track as well, whether simultaneously, on backing vocals, or with all three vocalists taking turns on a song.

* FromNewYorkToNowhere: "Dirty Town" is about someone moving from their town to live on a farm in the country, and "Bit By Bit" is about a person setting out to leave a life surrounded by other people behind and make a minimalistic new home for themselves (and maybe a "mistress") in the mountains.

* QuirkyHousehold: The subject of "Family", an ode of loyalty, love, and support to a clan of wild outsiders.

* ''Inside (Deluxe)'' (2022; a rerelease of Inside with the addition of "Hayloft 2")

* ''Inside (Deluxe)'' (2022; a rerelease of Inside with the addition of ''Hayloft 2'')

* BreakUpSong: "Ghosting" is about the process of really, truly letting go of a lover on an emotional level and accepting your separation after having clung to them past the point where you should've gone your separate ways.

* LyricalDissonance: Certainly not unheard of from this band. A number of their songs have laid-back or fun instrumentals, but are as apt as the rest of their catalogue to delve into some rather nihilistic and less-than-cheerful lyrical content.

* OverProtectiveDad: The dad in "Hayloft" seems to be this.
-->''Young lovers with their legs tied up in knots\\
With his long, tall gun, Pop went a-creeping,\\
To blow their hayloft dead-heads straight off''

* LoveNostalgiaSong: "Mouth of the Devil" is a little of an unusual example. The protagonist reminisces about wild, troubled, substance-fueled days spent with a past flame with whom they acted as mutual {{Living Emotional Crutch}}es, and ironically fears they'll relapse into their old ways without what they had.
