Alanis Morissette/YMMV


  • Epileptic Trees: The identity of the ex-boyfriend that Alanis emasculates in "You Oughta Know" has caused enough speculation that a WMG page was created.
  • First Installment Wins: If you don't count her self-titled album and Now Is the Time, then Jagged Little Pill absolutely fits.
  • Germans Love David Hasselhoff: When Alanis released Jagged Little Pill in 1995, she had a tough time getting airplay in her home country of Canada, because she already had a past there as a Debbie Gibson-style teen-pop diva in the early '90s. In fact, Ottawa media outlets were flooded with complaints from disgusted citizens when she was given a key to the city.
  • Memetic Mutation: "Would she go down on you in a theater?"
  • Never Live It Down: Alanis, you may be a great musician, but as long as this page exists, nobody will let you forget about "Ironic".
  • Sequel Displacement
  • Surprisingly Improved Sequel: Going from teen pop to Jagged Little Pill is a hell of a shift.
  • Tough Act to Follow: Despite selling 2.4 million copies in the US, it's tough not to consider Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie a disappointment when compared with Jagged Little Pill's 16 million copies. It didn't help that Junkie was far more experimental than Pill, and a sharp divergence in Alanis' sound, becoming more Darker and Edgier and including elements like creepy Eastern string sections, heavier sampling and louder guitars.
