* [[Ear Worm]]: Quite a few to be found on their album. Try getting the whistled hook from "Pumped Up Kicks" out of your head upon hearing it… it's not easy.
* [[Estrogen Brigade]]: Each member of the band brings this in different flavors; Mark Foster has an [[Adorkable]] quality to him, Mark Pontius is the [[Everyone Loves Blondes|cute, blonde one]], and Cubbie Fink is the [[Tall, Dark and Handsome|brooding, dark haired hottie]]. 
** Lampshaded in the "Call It What You Want" video; throughout it, Mark (Foster) is shown being stalked by a horde of rabid teenaged girls wearing shirts that spell out "Foster" collectively. 
* [[Face of the Band]]: Mark Foster, seeing as how the band is called [[Captain Obvious|''Foster'' The People]].
* [[Nightmare Fuel]]: "Pumped-up Kicks," being known for its [[Lyrical Dissonance]] about gun violence, this troper was reminded of the [[Columbine]] High School Massacre, because many peoples' comments wondered if this is what the song's about (among other shooting attacks); due to this, I've done a lot more of research on the massacre... and now will never be able to listen to "Pumped-up Kicks" again without picturing Eric Harris' & Dylan Klebold's school shooting taking place.
** Mark Foster was in high school when Columbine went down. This troper (one year older) can assure you: There's pretty much no way he wasn't thinking of it when he wrote the song. 
** There's an available [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-upSHZVcQU instrumental version] of the song. At minute 1:02, right before it gets to the chorus, you can hear a brief, distorted voice. It's hard to understand what it says. To me, it sort of sounds a bit like, "''Leave here when you die''." What's creepier is that I - nor even many of us - noticed this bit in the original!
*** [[It Got Worse|Worse]], it sounded like people were shouting during the chorus... turns out it was rhythmic clapping.
** Crosses over with [[Harsher in Hindsight]] when the song is taken in context with [http://abcnews.go.com/US/chardon-high-school-shooting-gunman-identified-tj-lane/story?id=15799815#.T2JwJRGGp1E the shooting at Chardon High School.]
