She is also [[God]]. Or at least, she played Her in ''[[Dogma]]''.

* [[Abusive Parents]]: "Perfect" is about parents who live vicariously through their kids and humiliate and berate them for not meeting expectations.

* [[AcCENT Upon the Wrong SylLABle]]:
** "Uninvited" does this quite a few times. "I am flat''tered'' by your fascination with me"... "an unfor''tun''ate slight"... "must be somewhat hear''ten''ing"...
Line 48 ⟶ 42:
** ''Under Rug Swept'' is a line from "Hands Clean".
** And ''Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie'' can be found in "So Pure".
* [[Award Bait Song]]: "Wunderkind" from ''[[The Chronicles of Narnia|The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe]]'', and "I Remain" from ''[[Prince of Persia:
* [[Bowdlerise]]: "You Oughta Know" is a classic case of Bowdlerization not working. The song was very popular among teens, but of course, there's an F-bomb in it. At school dances and similar functions, the radio edit version would play where the offending word was simply muted. So what would happen when that spot in the song came up? Everyone in the room would shout out the offending word at the muted point.
** To be fair, most radio stations played it such that it went, "When you ffffff- her." Which actually sounded good too.
* [[Break Up Song]]: "You Oughta Know" is the most famous one, but there's also "Are You Still Mad" and "Hands Clean".
* [[Canada, Eh?]]
* [[Canon
* [[Catholic School Girls Rule]]
* [[Cerebus Syndrome]]
* [[Friends
* [[Godiva Hair]]: The music video of "Thank You".
* [[In the Style Of]]: The [[
* [[Isn't It Ironic?]]: The [[Trope Namer]], though not an example.
* [[Mood Whiplash]]: ''Jagged Little Pill'' can induce this, as the themes and moods shift drastically from song to song.
* [[Motor Mouth]]: She has this obsession with fitting as many syllables as possible into a line...
* [[Neoclassical Punk Zydeco Rockabilly]]: Starting with ''Junkie'', Alanis incorporated electronic and world influences into her music. Which is not to say ''Jagged Little Pill'' wasn't already pretty genre-fusiony, with its combination of lots of drumloops and electronics filched from [[Beck (
* [[New Sound Album]]: Both ''Jagged Little Pill'' and ''Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie''; the latter was an even larger departure.
* [[Pass the Popcorn]]: "Front Row" makes a reference to this in the song's chorus:

* [[Parody Retcon]]: Her infamous song "Ironic".
* [[Precision F-Strike]]: "You Oughta Know." Although the song has a number of sex references, none are as blatant as the line "Are you thinking of me when you fuck her?"
Line 72 ⟶ 66:
* [[Signature Song]]: "You Oughta Know" and "Ironic".
* [[Stage Mom]]: "Perfect" is about this trope.
* [[Stalker
* [[Subverted Rhyme Every Occasion]]: Alanis, in a show of support, altered the lyrics of her song "Ironic" to:
{{quote|
It's like meeting the man of my dreams... and meeting his beautiful ''husband'' }}
** What would be rhyming couplets in the chorus for "Hand In My Pocket" are instead jumbled so that the second line from couplet A is instead the second line in couplet B, and so forth.
* [[Surreal Music Video]]: "You Learn".

* [[Word Salad Lyrics]]: While there might be a meaning behind it,<ref>It's a pretty obvious meaning to This Troper: She's given up binge-eating processed foods, and wants a prize - the "ever-elusive kudo" - for doing so.</ref> "Thank U" has verses that qualify in this trope:

How 'bout stoppin' eatin' when I'm full up?
How 'bout them transparent danglin' carrots?
How 'bout that ever-elusive kudo? }}
