  • Epic Riff: Say what you want about Robyn, she played some damn cool basslines like in "American Made", "Everything's Brown" or "Lollirot".
  • Even Better Sequel: Clear Hearts, Grey Flowers has a more thought-out concept and better production than Sexless Demons and Scars.
  • Fan Nickname: "The Patron Saint of Self-Injury" for Jessicka.
  • Funny Moments: One of the reunion shows starts with Jessicka having to be dragged onto the stage.
    • When asked what she would say to her younger self, she said this:
    Jessicka: And for fuck’s sake don't write songs like "Cumdumpster" and "French Kiss the Elderly", knowing fair well the much-older you will have to sing them with a straight face...
  • Harsher in Hindsight: Clear Hearts, Grey Flowers is a lot more uncomfortable in light of the accusations she's made against her ex, Twiggy Ramirez.
  • Misaimed Fandom: "Strawberry Gashes" appears to be about a suicidal lover/friend, but the titular phrase is slang for the red marks left on heroin users' skin from needles, so it has gained a large following of mistaken "emo" fans.
  • Narm: Most of their lyrics are just strung together because they sound cool, which can lead to some really absurd, nonsensical results like "Cockroach Waltz", "Cherry Scented" or "Horrible". Most of the time it works out though, because the vocals are unintelligible or the guitar riffs are awesome enough to distract.
  • Nightmare Fuel: Now has its own page.
  • Signature Song:
    • "My Cat"
    • "Strawberry Gashes"
    • "When I Am Queen" has gotten a strong following as well, and was the opener for all of their reunion shows.
  • Suspiciously Similar Song: "Losing His Touch" to Marilyn Manson's "Little Horn". It doesn't help that they're both Religion Rant Songs.
