* [[Memetic Badass]]: In-universe. A major contributing factor to the success of Krauser and co. is the way the details of their various fan-pleasing exploits (e.g., the Tokyo Tower incident) are exaggerated to divine proportions (e.g., Krauser becoming the supposed father of the Roppongi Hills) by their more rabid followers. |

* [[Weirdness Censor]]: Usually inverted; DMC's fans seem to have a Normalcy Censor. In one case they ignore a radio report of an incoming storm, only to later attribute the storm to {{spoiler|the original}} Krauser's demonic powers. |

** [[Science Marches On|The unplugged electric guitar is also]] [[Truth in Television]] [[Science Marches On|to some degree now]], [[Captain Obvious|though you could not play full songs without the rest of the band with it]] in [[Real Life]]. Battery power and a wireless amp (or an amp wired into a guitar itself) could allow for such - though the sound would definitely be weaker. |

** Leaving concerts you are playing in without being mauled by disappointed fans? Also [[Truth in Television]]. See [[Guns N' Roses]] or [[X Japan]] for quite a few examples of this. It depends on how much the audience understands the reason and how good the band is at getting out of there fast (or canceling at first) |
