Line 31:
** In "Americana", with the line "distorted in Americana, my way, well...FUCK YOU!"
** "Da Hui" is just one big [[Cluster F-Bomb]]:
{{quote| I won't fuck with Da Hui!<br />
I won't fuck with Da Hui!<br />
I won't fuck with Da Hui!<br />
Because Da Hui will fuck with me!<br />
...<br />
Don't fuck with Da Hui!<br />
Don't fuck with Da Hui!<br />
Don't fuck with Da Hui!<br />
Because Da Hui will fuck with you! }}
** "Nothingtown" has the Precision-S-Strike: "We're breaking out of this ''shitty'' little town..."
* [[Concept Album]]: ''Americana'' is about the degradation of America. ''Smash'' is sometimes interpreted as this because almost all of its songs are about violence in some form or the other. Meanwhile, ''Rise and Fall, Rage and Grace'' is often interpreted as the journey of a school shooter.
* [[Content Warnings]]: ''Ixnay on the Hombre'' begins with a particularly snarky one:
{{quote| Ladiiiies and gentlemen, welcome to the disclaimer! That's right, the disclaimer! This American apple pie institution known as parental discretion will cleanse any sense of innuendo or sarcasm from the lyrics which might actually make you think, and will also insult your intelligence ''at the same time''! So, protect your family! This album contains explicit depictions of things which are ''real''! These ''real'' things are commonly known as "life"! So... if it sounds sarcastic, do ''not'' take it seriously! If it sounds dangerous, do not try this at home or at all! And if it offends you, just... don't... listen to it!}}
** Done by Jello Biafra of the [[Dead Kennedys]], no less
* [[Corrupt the Cutie]]: "Want You Bad".
Line 60:
* [[Gratuitous Spanish]]: "Uno, dos, tres, cuatro, cinco, cinco, seis!" ("Pretty Fly (For a White Guy)")
** Also, in "Why Don't You Get A Job":
{{quote| But she wants more ''dinero'' just to stay at home...}}
* [[Grief Song]]: "Gone Away"
* [[I Ate What?]]: From ''Don't Pick It Up":
{{quote| I saw a little kid<br />
As he walked around<br />
He picked a candy bar up<br />
Off the ground<br />
He chowed about a half<br />
And his face [[Blue with Shock|turned blue]]<br />
Turned out that candy bar was a [[Squick|doggy-doo]] }}
Line 77:
* [[Manipulative Bastard]]: The driving point in "You're Gonna Go Far, Kid". Overcrosses with [[Magnificent Bastard]].
* [[The Masochism Tango]]: According to the narrator in "Self Esteem":
{{quote| Now I know I'm being used<br />
That's okay, man, 'cause I like the abuse<br />
And I know she's playing with me<br />
That's okay, 'cause I got no [[Title Drop|self esteem]] }}
** "Want You Bad" is another example.
* [[Motor Mouth]]: The bridge in "Stuff is Messed Up":
{{quote| Shopping sprees, RPGs, ecstasy, atrophy<br />
Genocide, Pimp My Ride, politize, euphemize<br />
Injustice everywhere, apathy, I don't care<br />
Hurricanes, climate change, huh!<br />
Therapy, I won't tell, rehab and LOL<br />
Worldwide calamity, TV reality<br />
Euthanize, supersize, death squads and boob jobs<br />
VIP infamy, gratify instantly }}
* [[Mohs Scale of Rock and Metal Hardness]]: Usually range from 4 to 7 ("Kristy, Are You Doing OK?" is arguably a 3).
Line 123:
* [[Wangst]]: "She's Got Issues" chews out the titular girl for this.
