Considered by many to be fairly polarizing, [[Hollywood Undead]] got their start writing rap songs about [[Emo Teen|Emo Teens]] and posting them on [[My SpaceMyspace]]. After gaining a following, the band's founders decided to officially form a band with anyone who happened to be in the room at the time, no, seriously. The band was the first act signed to MySpace Records, then switched over to A&M/Octone Records, where they released their first album, ''Swan Songs'', in 2008, which had a mostly [[Hip Hop]]-oriented sound with a few rock songs. This was followed by a live album mostly consisting of songs from their debut and a few covers (including [[Led Zeppelin]] and [[Motley Crue]]).
 
After a long hiatus (partly caused by one of the founding members leaving the band), they released their second studio LP, ''American Tragedy'', which featured a more rock-oriented sound. Critics and fans alike assert that the album is [[Magnum Opus|their best album to date]], and it has done really well on ''Billboard'' charts (hitting #4 on the ''Billboard'' 200).

{{creatortropes}}
== Provides examples of the following tropes: ==
 
* [[A God Am I]]: Johnny 3 Tears in Undead.
* [[All Men Are Perverts]]: A lot of their songs are about this, most notably, Charlie Scene's antics
Line 34 ⟶ 33:
* [[Crunkcore]]: Mostly their earlier and unreleased material.
* [[Darker and Edgier]]: ''American Tragedy'', which significantly reduced the number of party songs and focused on more serious topics, and had a more rock-oriented production style with less obvious electronic influences.
* [[Dissimile]]: For those of you who are not aware of the slang term "down with the dick" (which is not on [[Urban Dictionary]] but apparently means [[All Women Are Lustful|a female who loves to sleep around]]), this band's use of the line may introduce [[TranssexualTranssexualism|another image]] into the listener's head. It doesn't help that Hollywood Undead once collaborated with another [[My SpaceMyspace]] celebrity, [[Drag Queen|Jeffree Star]].
* [[Kids Rock]]: "[[Subdued Section|Young]]"
* [[Lovable Sex Maniac]]: The entirety of "Everywhere I Go" is about this:
{{quote| ''[[Title Drop|Everywhere I go, bitches always know that Charlie Scene has got a weenie that he loves to show]], [[This Is for Emphasis, Bitch|bitch]]''}}
* [[Lyrical Dissonance]]: Bullet
* [[Malevolent Masked Men]]: Averted. As noted in multiple reviews, their masks and music are not at all menacing. One mask has a butterfly on it. Really.
* [[The Man Is Sticking It to the Man]]: Goes after ''the mainstream'', even though they've gained a lot of their fame through [[My SpaceMyspace|one corporation]] and are now signed to a major label.
** The video for their single "Been To Hell" is a vicious [[Take That]] at the so-called Hollywood Dream.
* [[Metal Scream]]: Have utilized this many times.
* [[My SpaceMyspace]]: First gained steam there.
* [[Pretty Fly for a White Guy]]: Some of their material exhibits this.
* [[Rap Metal]]
* [[Shout-Out]]: To Bob Saget, Ashton Kutcher, [[Tila Tequila]] and [[My SpaceMyspace|Tom]].
{{quote| Paris Hilton said "That's hot" [[Lovable Sex Maniac|when she saw my cock]].}}
* [[Signature Song]]: "Undead", which, ironically, is based on [[Ozzy Osbourne|another signature song]].
* [[Teeny Weenie]]: The ending of the video for "Everywhere I Go".
* [[Title Drop]]: In American Tragedy the song Been to Hell features this line
