* CreatorBacklash: During some of their early concerts, they would hang an effigy of Music/BarryWhite as a DiscoSucks statement. That quickly ended after [[https://web.archive.org/web/20200918204638/https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/twisted-sisters-dee-snider-on-destroying-disco-why-lemmy-was-an-angel-181187/ one show]] in [[UsefulNotes/NewYorkState upstate New York]], where the mostly White male patrons started cheering and yelling "Hang the n----r!" in approval. As a multiracial band that simply thought disco was overexposed and saw Barry White as a symbol of it, they were shocked by this reaction and quickly removed the effigy from future stage shows.

* MemeAcknowledgment: In Latin America, a popular way to sing the band's hit "We're Not Gonna Take It" is by mispronouncing it as ''[[MemeticMutation "Huevos con aceite (y limón)"]]''. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=35PocLHx534 For a tour around Chile in 2013]], Dee Snider not only encouraged the public to shout the joke lyrics, but even added that the only thing it was missing was "Twisted fuckin' Sister". This is proceeded by both the band and the public playing out the song that way!

* ReferencedBy: ''WesternAnimation/TheSpongebobSquarepantsMovie'' features a parody of "I Wanna Rock" themed around the Goofy Goober theme song that shows up on three other occasions in the film. Dee Snider later stated in an interview that he was initially opposed to licensing the song out for the movie, but acquiesced after being told how much money he'd get paid.

* TwoHitWonder: Technically they're a OneHitWonder as only "We're Not Gonna Take It" reached the top 40, but certainly fit more here as "I Wanna Rock" is just as well remembered.

* ExecutiveMeddling: The band wanted "Stay Hungry" to be a pure HardRock album, but Atlantic Records and producer Tom Werman made them go with a glossy HairMetal sound instead. Twenty years later, "Still Hungry" was created primarily to demonstrate what sound they had intended for that album.

** The band has explained that they were actually already planning on retiring before Pero died (as the standards they hold themselves to when performing are extremely high and physical, they wanted to end before they physically couldn't do what they do anymore).
