J.G. Thirlwell/YMMV


 * Crazy Awesome: Thirlwell's stage persona comes across as some lost, forgotten avatar of looney tunes rock.
 * Crowning Moment of Funny: Go ahead, read the translated lyrics to "¡Chingada!".
 * Ear Worm: For a "band" that largely eschews simple genre definitions, Foetus sure do put out a lot of catchy tunes:
 * "I Hate You All" was a song originally commissioned by Atsushi Sakurai of Buck Tick, and is a great example of Thirlwell's love for psychotic Big Band tracks.
 * "Suck on this, squarehead!"
 * Hey, if you're gonna have a race war, why not at least play this in the streets?
 * Hell Is That Noise: Especially his instrumental tracks.
 * High Octane Nightmare Fuel: Hold on to your pants, folks...
 * "Kreibabe" is the unofficial theme song to all nervous breakdowns.
 * Likewise, "How To Vibrate" should be the anthem to horrifyingly bad drug experiences.
 * "LONG LIVE THE NEW FLESH!"
 * Lostalgia: We're never going to see Foetus on tour again. The closest us fans can even get to a live performance, is the extremely infrequent NYC instrumental concert.
 * Memetic Sex God: Dated Lydia Lunch and several other beautiful rock stars. Former bandmate Marc Almond obviously fancied him, too. Once snogged David Bowie, which is like that trope squared.
 * So Bad Its Good: The music video to "Blessed Evening". Knowing Thirlwell, this may have been intentional.
 * Squick: Wait, where is that red stuff coming from?
 * Too Good to Last: Praise Satan, it's been averted! By all means, Jim Thirlwell should have followed his fellow No-Wavers and become a historic fragment of the 1980s art-rock underground. Instead, the bastard has been chugging along and defying expectations, making more records per year than most mainstream artists.
 * True Art Is An Alcohol And Acid Fueled Self-Destructive Meltdown That Lasts Three Decades: Welcome to the party, folks!
 * True Art Is Incomprehensible: The music video for "(not adam)" could give David Lynch a run for his money.
 * True Art Is Offensive: Every once in awhile, Thirlwell will deliberately christen one of his songs with a attention-grabbing title, like "The Only Good Christian Is A Dead Christian".
 * Furthermore, KILL WHITEY!
