Andrew W.K./YMMV

""Aged 17, I set about writing a song for a girl I was obsessed with. When she heard it, she called the police. Have a listen – you'll understand why""
 * An Aesop: The "Party Tips" on his Twitter.
 * Crazy Awesome: In every way.
 * Crowning Moment of Awesome: Andrew broke his foot while on tour promoting The Wolf, but rather than cancel any appearances, he just finished out the tour while rocking out in a wheelchair. Even his TV appearances!
 * Ear Worm: Everything on I Get Wet. EVERYTHING.
 * Epic Riff: It feels like Andrew's pumped out a bajillion of these.
 * "Party Hard" features two of these prominently featured, each of which could've easily been their own song.
 * Epileptic Trees: There's a conspiracy theory about Andrew being a character played by multiple people and that he's actually a Stealth Parody or just a corporate ploy to make money. The "evidence" is that he seems to have a different appearance after 2005, and that the original Andrew WK disappeared and was never seen again after being taken off stage at a show.
 * He Cleans Up Nicely Normally, he's covered from head to toe in dirt, sweat, and party and could use a shower and a shave. Yeah.
 * Memetic Mutation: PARTY HARD
 * Network Decay: Cartoon Network commissioned Andrew to create "Hearing What I Said" to promote CN Real. It wasn’t received very well.
 * Nightmare Fuel: As a teenager, he wrote a song for a girl he had a crush on. Said song led to her getting a restraining order against him. He only made the song available to listen to in 2010, as it became a rather dark Old Shame. In his own words:


 * So Cool It's Awesome
 * Squick: Sometimes he'll tweet stuff like this.
 * They Changed It Now It Sucks: Reviews of The Wolf were mixed since the overall tempo of the album was slower than on its more famous predecessor, I Get Wet.
 * What Do You Mean It Wasn't Made On Drugs
