14	!!Tropes
15
16	* AliceAllusion: "Blue Alice" is ''Literature/AliceInWonderland'' themed.
17	* AudienceParticipationSong: "My Revenge on the World" becomes one live, where the audience is encouraged to count along with Jennifer Parkin and punch the air during the "Strike!" chant.
18	* BigShutUp: Several times in "The Gun Song"
19	* BreakupBreakout: After leaving Epsilon Minus the band fizzled out after a couple years, while Parkin has gained much more notoriety with her solo project, still going strong after a decade.
20	* BreakupSong: "Three Months"
21	* BrokenBird: The songs "Girl on the Floor", "Lovely Day" and "1000 Transmissions" are good examples.
22	* EpicRocking: "Lovely Day". Though in this case it's Epic Trancing.
23	* FracturedFairyTale: "Blue Alice" is, as the song itself says, one [[PrecisionFStrike fucked]] up fairy tale.
24	* FunWithAcronyms: Parkin once playfully suggested that "Ayria" stands for "'''A'''wesome, '''Y'''eah '''R'''eally '''I''''m '''A'''wesome."
25	* GirlsWithGuns: The album cover and photo shoots for ''Hearts For Bullets'' played this trope up to it's fullest, even though "The Gun Song" is a DoesntLikeGuns song, and apparently Jennifer Parkin is in fact very anti-gun.
26	* GriefSong: "1000 Transmissions", "Letter From an Angel"
27	* LyricalDissonance: Some Ayria songs are uncannily the catchiest {{Tear Jerker}}s you'll ever hear, when you listen to the lyrics.
28	* TheManIsStickingItToTheMan: The subject of the song "Selling Rebellion".
29	* MsFanservice
30	* ObligatoryBondageSong: "Bad List" and a cover of "Hurting You Is Good For Me".
31	* OneWomanWail: "Counterblow", in which Parkin just begins vocalizing in the middle of the song.
32	* PerkyGoth: Jennifer Parkin herself.
33	* SelfBackingVocalist: On quite a few of the songs. In concert though, Parkin's female keyboardist provides backup vocals.
34	* TheSomethingSong: "The Gun Song"
35	* SynthPop
