* CampStraight: Admit it, Ronnie totally comes across as this.



* TitleConfusion:
** Ronnie's [[https://www.discogs.com/Rainbow-Rider-Beautiful-Dazzling-Music-No-1/master/111826 last album before launching Joy Electric]] got hit with this, hard. The cover has small text in the upper corner reading "dance house children", then massive, hand-drawn letters in the center reading "Rainbow Rider", and then smaller text again in the lower corner reading "Beautiful Dazzling Music No. 1". The name Dance House Children doesn't appear anywhere else on the album; the spine and CD label just bear the text "Rainbow Rider / Beautiful Dazzling Music No. 1". Thus fans couldn't agree if this was supposed to be Dance House Children's third album, with the long title ''Rainbow Rider: Beautiful Dazzling Music No. 1'', or if Ronnie had changed the band's name to Rainbow Rider, and the album title was just ''Beautiful Dazzling Music No. 1''. Making it even more confusing, Ronnie's actual intentions are unknown. Some sources claim that he did want to rename the band Rainbow Rider, then [[ExecutiveMeddling Siren Records nixed that idea]], but added "Rainbow Rider" to the album title as an attempt at compromise. Other sources claim Ronnie just wanted to give the album a long, two-part title for some reason, but when fans [[IAmNotShazam kept mistaking "Rainbow Rider" for the band's name]], Ronnie eventually [[SureLetsGoWithThat gave up correcting them]]. In any case, Ronnie ''did'' officially use Rainbow Rider as the band name on two other releases on a different record label: the "We'll Last So Long" 7" single, and an expanded reissue of ''Beautiful Dazzling Music No. 1''.
** ''The Otherly Opus'' has a longer title exclusively on the iTunes music store: ''The Otherly Opus / The Memory of Alpha''. In fact, this was the album's WorkingTitle, and reflected its organization as a [[DistinctDoubleAlbum Distinct Double EP]].
* TrueArtIsIncomprehensible: ''The Tick Tock Companion'' EP. No vocals, no melodies or discernable song structures; just three guys improvising drones on monosynths, live in the studio.

Tastes Like Diabetes is no longer a trope. Moving examples to other tropes when applicable.


* TastesLikeDiabetes: JE's upbeat, candy-coated albums make Music/OwlCity look like TestosteronePoisoning. There's a song named "Sugar Rush", and it's every bit as sickeningly sweet as the name implies.
