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 |
