YMMV / Jimmy Eat World

---

• Capcom Sequel Stagnation: Many fans weren't pleased with the repetition of their original Bleed American-era sound on Damage.
• Ending Fatigue: The ending to "Goodbye Sky Harbor" is an ambient, trippy mix of layered vocals, glockenspiel (yes!) and processed drums that goes on for about 10 minutes after the rest of the song is over. It doesn't stop it from being pure Awesome Music, however.
• Funny Moments:
  • The band warns other bands not to pick a name with a confusing acronym. The Sharp Shadows, Giants in the Sky, and Saves the Day respond in agreement.
  • The band Mannequin Pussy suggests that all bands add "pussy" to their name to avoid censorship. Jimmy Eat World retweets them with nothing but an "eyes wide" emoji.^note "Eat Pussy" is a common slang for cunnilingus
• Growing the Beard: Clarity was generally viewed as their turning point from being just another generic pop-punk act to a mature, fully-realized emo act.
• Heartwarming Moments: The band showing their support for a trans woman fan who said she interpreted "The Middle" as a "trans girl anthem."
• Moment of Awesome: The album Bleed American was entirely self-funded by the band while they were in between recording contracts. It ended up being their biggest hit.
• Signature Song: "The Middle" is this to most people, due to its immense popularity. "Sweetness" and "Pain" may also qualify - "Sweetness" is particularly iconic to NHL fans, as it's been the Florida Panthers' goal horn song since 2017.
• Sweet Dreams Fuel: "Just Watch the Fireworks", "23", "Sure and Certain" and "Pol Roger". And that's not even scratching the surface of how many songs that are considered this to fans.
• Tear Jerker: "Hear You Me" which was written about two girls in the Weezer fan club who died in a car accident.
