* VindicatedbyHistory: Despite the beginning entry, ''Earthling'' has a contingent of fans defending the album on its own merits and hold it in better regard within Bowie’s 90s input, highlighting potential strengths and highlights such as "I'm Afraid of Americans" or "Little Wonders".

Added this because the YMMV page of Bowie’s “hours…” album seemingly implies that this is Vindicated by History. So I added here as to avoid potential confusion. If anyone wants to remove both mentions on both pages however feel free if necessary.

* ValuesResonance: Initially written as a commentary on Americentrism and the colonialist undercurrents of corporate globalism (with Bowie specifically citing his irritation at seeing UsefulNotes/McDonalds come to Java), "I'm Afraid of Americans" remains the album's most popular track in large part because of its resonance with 21st century disillusionment with American exceptionalism and anxiety towards the increasingly chaotic state of the country.

* SignatureSong: "I'm Afraid of Americans" remains the best known track, thanks in large part to the heavy airplay its music video got on Creator/{{MTV}} and its lyrics' resonance with 21st century "dumpster fire" discourse about American politics.

Added DiffLines:

* ContestedSequel: Compared to ''Music/{{Outside}}'', which is widely considered one of Bowie's best post-Tin Machine albums, ''Earthling'' sees more divided responses, in large part thanks to it diving into DrumAndBass at the peak of the genre's popularity. Over 20 years since it released, fans, critics, and biographers alike are still split on whether the album is an adept evolution of its predecessor's {{industrial}} rock style or if it lacks the innovation that Bowie is known for.
