* One example of a band that tried for a new, [[Darker and Edgier]] image and just... shouldn't have is demonstrated in the video and song, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJLsNYDZVXY&fmt=18 "Dirty Dawg"]. Let's just say, it '''really''' didn't go over well with [[New Kids On the Block]]'s established fandom. |

* Similarly, [[Garth Brooks]]' experimental pop album and pre-release soundtrack for a movie that never was, ''The Life of Chris Gaines'', did not go over well with his fandom. Not only was the [[Out-of-Genre Experience]] unwelcome to his country fans, but taking on a new look, and the identity of the title character just made it worse. Even still, while the album bombed, failure is relative. The album itself peaked at #2 on the U.S. charts, went double platinum, and had a top 5 single. |

* And then there's Jewel, who, for a thankfully brief period, abandoned her trademark sensitive folkie singer Lilith Fair poet persona in order to become... a clone of every crappy pop singer of the noughties. She ''claimed'' that her [[Love It or Hate It|violently-impossible-to-like]] song, "Intuition", was meant as a ''satire'' of interchangeable pretty blond pop singers. Sadly for her, that's a little hard to believe, considering she made a bunch of money off said song being used to launch a [[Product Placement|women's razor line called "Intuition"]]. |

* In a rare case of by the band's own admission, [[Oasis]] had at least one of these. Noel Gallagher writes off much of the late 1990s output, and also chunks of the mid-2000s. He even went as far on a Greatest Hits DVD as to ask why somebody didn't just to tell them to "stop", also making much of it an [[Old Shame]]. |
