Manic Street Preachers/YMMV

-->
 * Creator Worship: Richey to the point of absurdity, Nicky to a lesser degree.
 * Never Live It Down: Even if the band admit it's an Old Shame, people probably won't forget that "worse than Hitler" quote anytime soon. Or wishing Michael Stipe would die of AIDS.
 * True Art Is Offensive: used frequently, notably controversial examples being the line "I laughed when Lennon got shot" from "Motown Junk", and the performance on Top of the Pops of "Faster" where James Bradfield sported a balaclava, which received hundreds of complaints due to their use by the IRA - though the fact that James' had his name written on it in Tipp-Ex does make that seem a little silly.
