* [[Cult of Personality]]: Their hit song of the same title explores the phenomenon of a cult of personality from the point of view of the subject of one, although at the same time it subverts the trope by encouraging its followers to break free of its groupthink.
* [[Elvis Lives|Elvis is Dead]]
* [[One-Hit Wonder]]: For "Cult of Personality". Although "Glamour Boys" also reached the top 40, that song may not even be their second most-well known song.
* [[Pop Culture Isolation]]: [[Invoked|Criticised]] in the song "Wall".
* [[Protest Song]]: "Open Letter to a Landlord", "Time's Up".
* [[Revival by Commercialization]]: "Cult of Personality" popped up in ''[[Guitar Hero|Guitar Hero III]]'' and ''[[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]]'', but when CM Punk switched to this theme (which he used in Ring of Honor) in the WWE in the midst of a red-hot storyline and persona change, it resulted in the song cracking the Top 200 on the iTunes download list and increased airplay on major rock stations such as KROQ.
* [[Sampling]]: Hit single "Cult of Personality" samples speeches by [[Franklin Delano Roosevelt]], [[Martin Luther King]], and [[Malcolm X]].
* [[Special Guest]]: Guest vocalists have included [[Public Enemy]] ("Funny Vibe"), [[Queen Latifah]] ("Under Cover of Darkness") and [[Little Richard]] ([[Elvis Has Left the Planet|"Elvis Is Dead"]]).
