Line 1:
{{work}}
* [[Crowning Music of Awesome]]: The soundtrack (featuring Kay Hanley of Letters To Cleo fame on lead vocals) was very well received, went certified Gold within a month and a half of its release, and still holds a place in the top 100 best-selling albums at Amazon.com ''almost a decade later''.
* [[Cult Classic]]: The film has gained a devoted following for its awesome music and how ahead of its time it was.
* [[Funny Aneurysm Moment]]:
** Has a reptuation among some of Rachael Leigh Cook's fans as the film that derailed her career (though ironically, they tend to enjoy the actual movie itself).
** It's shown that the record label kills those who find out about the subliminal messages. Now, take a look at the recent wave of celebrity deaths. [[Paranoia Fuel|Kind of makes you not want to be famous, doesn't it?]]
* [[Ham and Cheese]]
* [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]: Hey, do you remember a time when it wasn't that unrealistic to say that the record industry and [[MTV]] commanded the tastes and buying habits of the youth of America? Like, say, the year this movie was released? [https://web.archive.org/web/20100412113758/http://www.rollingstone.com/news/story/15137581/the_record_industrys_decline Welcome to the future.]
** Also, the movie was ''dead-on'' in predicting [[Deader Than Disco|the death]] of [[Boy Band|boy bands]] and the rise of [[Pop Punk|pop-punk]] in the early [[Turn of the Millennium]].
* [[Large Ham]]: [[Parker Posey]] and [[Alan Cumming]] are practically ''dueling'' for this title.
* [[Les Yay]]: The friendship between Josie and Valerie seems a lot more fleshed-out and real than Josie and Alan M, who are [[Strangled by the Red String|just about ready to turn pass out from asphyxiation]].
* [[Misaimed Marketing]]: The marketing just showed Josie and the Pussycats without bothering to show the plot.
* [[Moral Event Horizon]]: "Puppies turn into dogs who grow old and '''''die'''''."
* [[Needs More Love]]
* [[Strangled by the Red String]]: Alan M seems like a genuinely nice guy, and apparently he and Josie have a history full of chemistry and common interests, but most of their relationship shown in the movie is them staring deeply into each others' eyes as they realise they love each other, with none of the relationship actually ''visible''.
** Which ''might'' have been ''[[Stealth Parody|intentional]]''.
* [[Values Resonance]]: 20 years since it came out, the subliminal message themes aged well as a warning for future generations.
