* [[Cerebus Syndrome]]: Sort of a self-contained example. The songs start out fun and even uplifting, but at about the halfway point after {{spoiler|Jet Star and Kobra Kid die}}, things start sounding [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge|angrier]], sadder rather sinister, and the storyline ends with a positively ''grating'' [[Last Note Nightmare]] [[Downer Ending]].

* [[High Concept]]: How Gerard gets out of claims that the band has created another concept album after early interviews quoted them as avoiding that. What many fail to realize, of course, is that descriptions of the album in early interviews refer to the scrapped first attempt.

* [[Ho Yay]]: Many fans interpret the relationship between Dr. Death Defying and Show Pony this way. Also, in the song "Save Yourself, I'll Hold Them Back", the lyrics, "I'm the only friend that makes you cry/ you're a heart attack in black hair dye/ so just save yourself and I'll hold them back tonight," are sung. Considering {{spoiler|Jet Star and the Kobra Kid are already dead at this point}}, and considering that the lyrics are being sung by Gerard Way, whose alter-ego is Party Poison, and considering Frank Iero's character Fun Ghoul has dyed-black hair, this is interpreted as ho-yay between Party Poison and Fun Ghoul by [[Yaoi Fangirl|some fans.]]

* [[LARP]]: Overlaps with [[Audience Participation]], since the band encourages fans to come up with their own Killjoy names and costumes. A "secret" part of the Transmissions page on the official site also encourages fans to send in their own; some of these videos are then broadcast from Dr. Death Defying's WKIL channel.
