Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.
/wiki/Deftonescreator
  • Ear Worm - "GUNS! RAZORS! KNIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVES! WHOOO!"
    • "SHOVE IT! SHOVE IT! SHOVE IT!"
    • "TIME WILL SEE US REALIGN! DIAMONDS RAIN ACROSS THE SKIES!"
    • "So go get your knife! Go get your knife!"
  • Ensemble Darkhorse - The band itself. Deftones are the most well-respected band to be labeled Nu-metal.
  • Epic Riff - Where do we begin?
  • Magnum Opus - White Pony and Diamond Eyes are frequently cited as the band's best albums.
  • Nightmare Fuel - Nearly all of White Pony, but especially the final three songs "Passenger", "Change (In the House of Flies)" and "Pink Maggit".
    • "Riviere" and "Beware" are also pretty chilling
    • Rodleen Getsic's One-Woman Wail in "Knife Prty". She sounds genuinely terrified.
  • Rescued from the Scrappy Heap - Fans argue that Deftones is not really Nu-metal; either they were never a part of the genre to begin with, or they've moved away from the genre entirely.
  • Squick - Annie Hardy's monologue at the end of "Pink Cellphone", which is extremely NSW and full of Nausea Fuel.
  • Tear Jerker - "Anniversary of an Uninteresting Event", which is apparently about the death of someone close to the band.
    • Cheng's accident.
    • "Deathblow" and "Teenager".
  • Uncanny Valley - the heavy distortion on Chino's vocals in "Elite".
