  • Alternate Character Interpretation:
  • Awesome Art: The animation for the music videos have some very beautiful visuals and designs.
  • Awesome Music: Where to even start? How about "Eros and Apollo", or maybe "Jenny"?
  • Crack Ship: Cherry has been paired with Miku Hatsune by some- after all, you gotta have virtual musicians with turquoise hair!
  • Fanon: It's widely accepted/theorized that Cherry's singing voice is that of a male singer. Namely, Teemu Brunila of The Crash fame. While it eventually veered into Open Secret territory, the band has ultimately never confirmed it.
  • Foe Romance Subtext: "Ode To The Bouncer" is dripping with this since it's essentially Cherry wondering whether to beat up or sleep with the titular bouncer.
  • Friendly Fandoms: With Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt, due to the familiar themes and musical style.
  • Ho Yay: If their Tumblr is anything to go by, Goldie and Dyna apparently like to "have a nuzzle now and then."
  • LGBT Fanbase: They play thumping club music and are "fronted" by a curvaceous woman who sings about girl-on-girl romance. The band have even described themselves as "LGBTQ content" in their promotional material.
  • Memetic Mutation: "I wanna ruin our friendship. We should be llamas instead." Explanation 
  • Misblamed:
    • "All Men Are Pigs" easily riles up people as a seeming misandry song; in reality, the final lyric is "all men but me..." and in the lyric video, the usually-blue lines that are quotes from the piggish men appear in yellow, revealing that the singer was a guy the whole time. Those who don't read between the lines stumble over this, though.
    • In "Jenny", Cherry steals Jenny's things and intentionally wrecks her relationship with a guy. While a dickish thing to do, as catalogued below, the music video also shows that Jenny's boyfriend was hooking up with other women at a bar, so her actions are a little less negative in that light.
  • Signature Song: "Jenny" is their most recognized song, with "Ode To The Bouncer" a close second.
  • Ugly Cute: The air-humping pigs from "All Men Are Pigs". Cherry herself can also qualify, having what you wouldn't call conventionally attractive features yet still coming off as looking gorgeous.
  • Unintentional Uncanny Valley: The CGI-rendered Cherry in the first two music videos. Something about her cartoonish proportions combined with realistic skin textures just seem... off.
  • Unintentionally Sympathetic: The titular bouncer in "Ode to the Bouncer". Cherry's lyrics paint him as a sleazy pervert letting women into the bars and her tempting him by playing along. The music video, however, plays very little into that game, showing the bouncer being unmoved by her unsubtle flirtations and outright trying to push her off when she engages him. Between Cherry engaging him in sex possibly against his will, repeatedly slamming his head into the ground, and even clawing half his face off, the bouncer comes off as a severe victim of Double Standard: Abuse, Female on Male and Double Standard Rape: Female on Male.
  • Unintentionally Unsympathetic: Just how much are we expected to sympathize with Cherry in "Jenny"? She admits to hacking her friend's email account and stealing her things, all in the name of infatuation. Gender-swap either character and it comes off less as passionate and more like entitled stalking.
