TRS has decided that Schoolgirl Lesbians is no longer a valid trope. Removing all links to the page and changing them to more appropriate pages if one can be found

!! Tropes found in Pretty Balanced's music:
* DepravedBisexual: In "Genuinely Bad", it is mentioned that the singer's lying and manipulative ex liked both the ladies and the gentlemen.
* GayAesop: "Floating", a song about two male students who love each other, but are unable to confess their feelings to each other because of fear of judgment.
* GenderBlenderName: Simon in "Simon's Sleeping" is actually a girl.
* GrayingMorality: In "Genuinely Bad": "There's a point at which you realize that nobody is all bad."
* GrowingUpSucks: The character Erica in "Station Waggin" has to face adult life for the first time after moving away from home and starting college.
* IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming: All their album titles are rhyming pairs of words.
* ItCameFromTheFridge: Downplayed. The couple in "Green Beans" has an expired can of generic-brand green beans in their pantry, and they're "both afraid to go near it".
* LastChorusSlowDown: Inverted with "Amtrax", which has a Last Chorus Speed Up.
* LoveNostalgiaSong: "The Skin".
-->I loved her then
-->Like kids will love each other
-->And want to get married
-->When they don't have a chance.
* LyricalDissonance: Most definitely. They have "Cheap Drunk" (a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech delivered to a cheating boyfriend), "Acid In[di]gestion" parts 1 and 2 (about a girl who dies from drinking acid), and Emyli (about a victim of abuse trying to hide her bruises), among others.
* MinisculeRocking: They have many songs that are shorter than 3 minutes. "Ode to an Electric Fan" is only 1:14.
* NonAppearingTitle: Several, including "Cheap Drunk", "Floating", "Concertgoing", "Amtrax", "Hyphen", and "Survivor".
* PrecisionFStrike: There's one in "Floating":
-->Isn't it tough that those one out of ten have to suffer
-->While everyone else can enjoy their free fucking in public
* SchoolgirlLesbians: Implied in "The Skin". "Floating" has the gender flipped version of this trope.
* SoleSurvivor: The narrator of "Survivor" seems to be this, although it's never said what happened to everyone else in her town.
* TooDumbToLive: "Acid In[di]gestion". Drinking chemicals from the school science lab out of curiousity? Sure, what a great idea that could not possibly go wrong!
* YourCheatingHeart: "Cheap Drunk".
