* [[Nine Inch Nails]] - as listed in the page quote.

* One of the most famous songs by Italian band ''I Nomadi'' ("The Nomads") is [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|titled just that.]] Except, in this case, "God is dead" is meant as a metaphor, with God standing for near damn every value and ideal. The last part of the song [[Subverted Trope|subverts]] it though, because as long as there's "a newborn hope", as the song itself puts it, "if God dies, it's just for three days, [[Earn Your Happy Ending|and then he's born again".]]

Tootsie Noodles mentions early on that there is empirical proof that science killed God<ref>He'd like to think that when [[Too Dumb to Live|He died, He went to heaven]].</ref>.
