* AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents: The whole plot starts going when Homer is one these to his children and they call him out on it and his very antiquated music likes, so Homer tries to make himself cool again by getting tickets for Hullapalooza.

* {{Bowdlerize}}: UK airings of this episode usually edit out the roadie and Peter Frampton's lines "He's gonna be pissed off." and "You're damn right I'm gonna be pissed off!" just after Homer gets hit in the stomach with the inflatable pig.
** Recent airings have also cut out the scene of Homer standing at the music store's front, due its name being "Suicide Notes: Formerly Good Vibrations" and some drug references (Bart and Lisa associating the smell of pot to Otto's jacket and Otto thinking his shoes are talking) are also cut.

* {{Mondegreen}}: InUniverse example, when Homer buys a rastafarian hat and shows it off to his kids, Bart protests that he can't wear that hat, Homer says he's been "safarian" since before his kids were born.

-->'''Homer:''' Got any messages for Music/JimiHendrix?
-->'''Veterinarian:''' Yes: "Pick up your puppy."

* LightFlickerTeleportation[=/=]StopMotionLighting: A flashback shows teenagers partying to a strobe light as young Homer watches from a distance.

Feeling uncool, Homer decides to take Bart and Lisa to the Hullabalooza music festival. But, while feeling more out of place, Homer accidentally takes a cannonball to the stomach. This newfound makes him the sleeper hit of the festival, and a hero to Bart — but at what cost to his health?
