For information about blood types, see [[AB Negative]].
Founded in 1988 upon the ashes of [[Face of the Band]] Peter Steele's earlier band Carnivore, [[Type O Negative]]'s [[Signature Style]] was [[Neoclassical Punk Zydeco Rockabilly|an unlikely mixture]] of [[
{{creatortropes}}
* [[Anti
▲* [[Anti Christmas Song]]: "Red Water (Christmas Mourning)," which may just be the single most depressing Christmas song ever.
▲* [[Anti Love Song]]: "Black #1."
* [[Author Existence Failure]]: Steele passed away April 14, 2010. [[Funny Aneurysm Moment|They weren't kidding this time.]]
* [[Broken Record]]: From "Christian Woman": "''Jesus Christ looks like me.''"
Line 19 ⟶ 17:
* [[Creator Breakdown]]: ''World Coming Down'' and ''Dead Again''.
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Peter Steele.
* [[Deal
* [[Despair Event Horizon]]: ''World Coming Down'' is the epitome of this. Three of the four interludes are extremely realistic portrayals of death brought upon by cocaine, alcohol, and cigarettes, while all of the actual songs (save for the Beatles medley at the end) deal with depressing subjects.
* [[Disco Dan]]: Guitarist Kenny Hickey is a bit of a [[Real Life]] example.
Line 28 ⟶ 26:
* [[Epic Rocking]]: The rule rather than the exception.
* [[Even the Guys Want Him]]: Thanks to posing in ''Playgirl'' in 1995, Peter has quite a bit of attention from males (which eventually became the basis for [[Have I Mentioned I Am Heterosexual Today?|"I Like Goils"]]).
* [[Exactly What It Says
* [[Expospeak Gag]]: Most of the song titles on ''Slow, Deep and Hard''.
* [[Face of the Band]]: Peter Steele.
* [[Fetish Fuel]]
* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: "Wolf Moon" isn't about werewolves. It uses werewolves as a metaphor. It's about the narrator [[Intercourse
* [["God Is Love" Songs]]: Parodied by "Christian Woman," by bringing out the mentioned-on-the-trope-page [[Unfortunate Implications]] in the open: the song is about a woman harbouring [[Perverse Sexual Lust]] for Jesus Christ.
* [[Gothic Metal]]: [[Trope Maker]] and [[Trope Codifier]].
* [[Greatest Hits Album]]: Two of them, one compiled by the band themselves, and another put together by their by-then-former record label, both largely covering the same material. In line with the band's occasional use of [[Self-Deprecation]], the former was called ''The Least Worst of Type O Negative'', and started with a completely silent filler track from one of their albums ([[Don't Explain the Joke|the implication being that]] they considered ''39 seconds of silence'' to be among their best work).
Line 41 ⟶ 39:
* [[I Am the Band]]: Averted. Though Peter Steele was without question the [[Face of the Band]] and main songwriter, many decisions were made by other members (such as using programmed drums on three of their albums).
* [[In the Style Of]]: Their cover of "Cinnamon Girl" is probably the best example.
* [[Intercourse
** Many of their songs on their October Rust album qualify.
* [[Large Ham]]: Peter Steele's singing has elements of this.
Line 56 ⟶ 54:
* [[Painting the Fourth Wall]]: ''The Origin of the Feces'', a fake live album.
* [[Perverse Sexual Lust]]: "How Could She?" humorously discusses this.
* Polyamory: "My Girlfriend's Girlfriend" (presented with a heavy dose of [[Girl
* [[Post Modernism]]: Tracks like "Bad Ground" and "Skip It" have no other purpose than to be "meta."
* [[Pun-Based Title]]: ''The Origin of the Feces'', "We Were Electrocute" and "The Profits of Doom".
* [[Rated "G" for Gangsta]]: The ''Bloody Kisses'' album shamelessly mocks this phenomenon by way of [[Mood Whiplash]], ''October Rust'' is a [[Stealth Parody|seemingly]] straighter example, and ''World Coming Down'' an [[Inverted Trope|inversion]]. When they apparently tried this genuinely with ''Life is Killing Me''...another [[Creator Breakdown]] happened and they made the dark, aggressive ''Dead Again''.
* [[Refuge in Audacity]]
* [[Signature Song]]: "Black No. 1"; "Christian Woman".
