{{quote|''I am not into that whole, "Well, you don't like my music so I am going to get you!" Who cares? I don't like my music! It's all about being an asshole and not all the testosterone you can handle. Look at me, I am just a skinny little nothing, somebody's grandmother could kill me!''|'''Jimmy Urine''', lead singer}}
Line 5:
Formed in 1997, Mindless Self Indulgence (usually shortened to MSI) was at first described by themselves as 'Industrial Jungle Pussy Punk', but have since denounced the term. It really is hard to describe their music, on the grounds that they never seem to adhere to a single set genre. Basically, they're a rock band.
Not usually for kids though, since the majority of their songs involved [[Refuge in Vulgarity|repeated profanity]] of some sort.
{{smallcaps|Current Members}}:
* Jimmy Urine: Main vocalist, song-writer and programmer. The band's name actually came from his first solo album.
* Steve, Righ?: Guitarist, co-writer with Jimmy. Sometimes does vocals, such as "Whipstickagostop" and "Z," and even has some programming credits under his belt.. Has worked with [[
* LynZ: Bassist from 2002-present. Married to [[My Chemical Romance

* [[Anything That Moves]]: Jimmy Urine. When asked about sexuality once, he made a comment about not caring what revs his engine, be it a man, a woman, or a chicken.
* [[Audience Participation]]: On the intro song "Backmask," Jimmy tells the audience "When I say we, you say suck! We!" "Suck!" "We!" "Suck!" "WHEN I SAY WE, YOU SAY SUCK! WE!" "SUCK!" "WE!" "SUCK!" {{spoiler|"DICK."}}
Line 34 ⟶ 33:
** Heck, for a non-Left Rights example: The opening and closing scenes of "Shut Me Up" were scored with a different loop from "Bullshit."
** Also, in their cover of "La-Di Da-Di", they referenced "Bitches":
{{quote|
** The Left-Rights song "Why You In My Phyzical" has not one, but TWO shout-outs to MSI, from "Tornado" and "I Hate Jimmy Page" respectively:
{{quote|
"No need to ask..." and later "When you look me upside down..." }}
** "I Hate Jimmy Page" contains a reference to "Panty Shot," then an obscure song that had no officially released recordings:
{{quote|
* [[Camp Gay]]: Urine is known to mock this on stage.
* [[Captain Obvious]]/[[Shaped Like Itself]]: "M."
* [[Careful
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: Steve, Righ? was this in the early years.
* [[Cluster F
* [[Depraved Bisexual]]: Jimmy Urine.
* [[Exactly What It Says
* [[Faux Yay]]: First for shock, then for humor.
* [[Fetish Fuel Station Attendant]]: A hot, tattooed, incredibly bendy girl who dresses as a schoolgirl? Hubba!
* [[Groin Attack]]: Allegedly, Jimmy once attempted to light his junk on fire live.
* [[Hypocritical Humor]]: From a sticker found on the clean version of "Frankenstein Girls Will Seem Strangely Sexy:"
{{quote|
* [[I Can't Believe
** Jimmy seems to eat enough sugar (he's noted a specific fondness for Cherry Coca-Cola and Reese's Peanut Butter Cups) to explain his extremely high energy, ADHD-like actions on stage. During some interviews, he seems to drink enough soda to go through several cans.
** Jimmy's snorted Pixie Stix on stage on multiple occasions.
* [[Indecipherable Lyrics]]: The beginning of "La-Di Da-Di."
** During the second verse of their song "Played," Jimmy starts rapping incoherent gibberish for the rest of the verse.
* [[Intercourse
{{quote|
* [[Keet]]: Jimmy.
* [[Large Ham]]: Jimmy Urine, Steve, Righ?, and (to an extent) Lyn-Z during live performances. They jump around, make random vocalizations, stage dive, stand on (and leap off of) stage equipment, and perform all sorts of other antics.
Line 67 ⟶ 66:
* [[Neoclassical Punk Zydeco Rockabilly]]: Their style combined, at various points in their career, punk rock, shock rock, drum and bass, hip-hop, industrial, metal, synth-pop, dance, and even noise rock.
* [[The New Rock and Roll]]: Subverted with intent to parody. Play "Backmask" backwards,and you hear {{spoiler|a middle-aged mother telling the listener to do things like "Go to church", "Do your homework" and "Eat your vegetables". Ironically, the last phrase you'd hear playing the song forwards is "Don't listen to this song" backwards}}
* [[N
* [[Panty Shot]]: They have a song with this trope as its title.
* [[Parental Incest]]: In "Royally Fucked".
{{quote|
* [[Punctuated!
* [[Refuge in Audacity]]: What they've been doing currently.
* [[Refuge in Vulgarity]]: Where they started. Hell, in early shows, Jimmy would regularly put on a show that would put Kunt and the Gang to shame.
* [[Sampling]]: By the barrel, when they started.
* [[Screw Yourself]]: From "Make Me Cum:" "I'm the one who makes me so happy, and I wanna be all just for myself"
* [[Self
* [[Self
** One show had a noticeable guitar flub which prompted Jimmy, without missing a beat, to add "oop, should've practiced."
* [[Self
* [[Shout
** "Clarissa."
{{quote|
** Golden I may be a nod to [[GG Allin]].
* [[
* [[Studio Chatter]]: The end of "Diabolical" contains a pair of comments from Steve, and Kitty after they finished recording:
{{quote|
'''Kitty:''' That was... That was the best we're gonna do. }}
** From Whipstickagostop:
{{quote|
* [[Take That]]: "F"
{{quote|
** Jimmy frequently pokes fun at various subjects on stage including [[Miley Cyrus]], [[Twilight]], goths/emos, and [[Panic!
* [[Tempting Fate]]: One trademark aspect of Jimmy's get-up is a jacket with one phrase or another (it varies) written on the back. One of the phrases? "Kick Me."
* [[Who Writes This Crap?]]: In "2 Hookers and an 8 Ball": "Can you believe that I write this shit" (Basically the whole song, too.)
