AFI/YMMV

• Fan Community Nickname: The Despair Faction
• Ho Yay: They love making suggestive jokes during interviews. Davey also tends to be rather publicly affectionate with his male friends compared to most other straight guys.
• It's Popular, Now It Sucks: Their major-label debut coincided with a major change in sound. Overlaps with They Changed It, Now It Sucks below.
• Nightmare Fuel: The spoken word hidden track at the end of Sing the Sorrow.
• They Changed It, Now It Sucks: Given the fact that their sound from the beginning of their career to the present day has pretty much completely changed (even consecutive albums can sound substantially different,) it's to be expected that a fan of a particular album might not like all or any of the others. See It's Popular, Now It Sucks.
• True Art Is Angsty
• True Art Is Incomprehensible: Try to figure out what their short film "Clandestine" is about. Just try.
