Red Oni, Blue Oni/Music: Difference between revisions

* [[Space]] had Jamie Murphy and Tommy Scott as the respective oni. Jamie was a [[Fiery Redhead]] whose constant partying caused him to have a nervous breakdown, while Tommy was the more sensitive and introverted one of the two. The trope also applies in the musical sense as Tommy's songs were more melodious and romantic - albeit in a rather twisted way - while Jamie's were darker in tone, particularly on ''Spiders'', and more indie rock-oriented.

* During the heydey of [[Britpop]], [[Oasis]] (the loud, outspoken, 70's rock and [[The Beatles|Beatles]]-influenced working class band) were the Red Oni and [[Blur (band)|Blur]] (the quieter, witty, [[The Kinks|Kinks]]-influenced band consisting of University intellectuals) were the Blue Oni. Because of their respective Oni characteristics, Oasis were the more popular of the two, while Blur had more critical acclaim. The two bands also ''hated'' each other for most of the 90's, and so did their hardcore fans.

* In [[The Who]], Roger Daltrey was a more reserved, polite musician while Keith Moon was the [[Crazy Awesome]] drummer. They didn't always get along off-stage.

* Aerosmith: Steven Tyler is the loudmouth, flamboyant frontman (Red) while Joe Perry is the quiet, mellow guitar player (Blue).
