Line 1: {{~~trope~~creator}} [[File:Leetstreet_Boys.jpg\|~~frame~~thumb\|350px]] ''[[LeetStreet Boys'']] (also known as ''L33tStr33t Boys'') is an [[Anime]] otaku fantasy band most well known for its single and music video "Yuri The Only One". Founded in 2007 by vocalist/songwriter Matt Myers, and guitarist/producer Ryan “Frogs” McCormack, the band centers around a prep school punk singer (Matt), a metrosexual elf guitarist (Justin), a lesbian healer bassist (Rose) and a fire breathing dragon drummer (D-Dos). [[Don't Explain the Joke\|Its name]] is a spoof on [[Backstreet Boys]], with the number 3s replacing the letter Es to form the popular gamer slang word, "l33t". Line 16: Japan itself mocked the ''LeetStreet Boys'' and the related Wapanese phenomenon on ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YBLawAtIpyg Netstar]''. Strangely, the group seems to be totally unaware of this, thinking that they have gained prominence in Japan and this was a tribute. They also have a [https://web.archive.org/web/20131017032718/http://www.leetstreetboys.com/2009/05/leetstreet-boys-1/ webcomic.] {{creatortropes}} === This (fictional) band provides examples of: === * [[Fake Band]] * [[Instant Awesome, Just Add Dragons]]: D-Dos. It's stated that he's not the only dragon in the universe. * [[Only Sane Man]]: Rose. * [[Lipstick Lesbian]]: Rose * [[Real Men Wear Pink]]: Justin. * [[Stalker ~~With~~with a Crush]]: Justin to Rose * [[Shout-Out]]: Matt wears a [[Ouran High School Host Club]] uniform. * [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]: Rose, who has pink hair. Line 28 ⟶ 31: === The songs provide examples of: === * [[Analogy Backfire]]: In "Yuri the only for me": {{quote\| [[Neon Genesis Evangelion\|You're my Angel straight out of Tokyo-3]].}} * [[~~Autotune~~Auto-Tune]]: Used frequently. * [[Concept Video]]: Most of their official music videos are to some degree, but the one for "[[Guitar Hero]] Hero" is the best example. * [[Cover Version]]: They released a cover of Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up" (under the title "Rickroll") for April Fool's Day 2009. Line 41 ⟶ 44: * [[Reading the Stage Directions Out Loud]]: A partial example in "The Fanboy Of The Opera": one line is literally sung as "I g2g now frowny face emoticon". * [[Save the Princess]]: In the video for "Guitar Hero Hero", and mentioned in "Otaku Anthem (I Wanna Live)". * [[Shout-Out]]: Common given their style. "Guitar Hero Hero" namedrops "Through The Fire And Flames" in the lyrics, and one of the songs is called "Haruhi" (though fan opinion is divided as to which Haruhi they're referring to). Lots of video games and anime are also mentioned by name in the lyrics, usually in a punny way. "The Fanboy Of The Opera" contains the line "Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain", a standard [[Shout-Out]] to ''[[The Wizard of Oz (~~Film~~film)\|The Wizard of Oz]]''. "LeetStreet Fighter" even gives a [[Shout-Out]] to ''[[Penny Arcade]]''. * [[Subverted Rhyme Every Occasion]]: From "Lady And The Trap": {{quote\| A J-pop song comes on we start to rock, (wo-oh)~~<br />~~ She reached up my leg to grab my... hand. (wo-oh) }} * [[Talks Like a Simile]]: Constantly. {{reflist}} [[Category:~~Leet Street~~LeetStreet Boys]] [[Category:Music]] [[Category:Musicians]] [[Category:Pages needing more categories]]
