Autosuggestion are Tropers JHM and Jokerman 215's Totally Not-A-Fake Band. Their music is not easily described, though "post-rock" is close enough. Sometimes.
In March 2011, they changed their name to "(Untitled Track)", and then to "Therapy Tapes".
Some samples of their music can be found on bandcamp.com, still under their original name.
Autosuggestion provides examples of the following tropes:
- All Drummers Are Animals: Averted.
- Catch Phrase: See Running Gag.
- Epic Rocking: Frequently.
- Fake Band: Depends on the day.
- Five-Man Band: As demonstrated in the "Other" section, each band member fits quite nicely into this.
- Genius Bonus: A natural side-effect of most of the band being...
- Hipsters: Rare affable examples.
- I Am the Band: While there is a greater band (see above), JHM and Jokerman215 are basically the only consistent members.
- Lyrical Dissonance: No matter how light and fluffy the chords are, the lyrics are still guaranteed to be at least moderately sinister. Often overlaps with...
- Mind Screw: Listening too carefully is bad for your sanity.
- Neoclassical Punk Zydeco Rockabilly: "We sound like Bügsküll jamming with Charles Hayward in Tom Greenwood's basement. With a viola."
- Genre Roulette: More so in their earlier material, as demonstrated by their Myspace page [dead link].
- Old Shame: The Supernovacaine C Dr is basically one giant Non Sequitur Episode. This isn't always a bad thing.
- Running Gag / Mythology Gag / In-Joke: So very many...
- Three Words: "The Rain Song".
- "Alana has been captured by ninjas. Again."
- (A Nightwalker Production.)
- "God damn it, Randy!"
- The use of quarter-tones.
- Cream Puff and Bondage Boy. They Fight Crime.
- "I like beans!"
- "Quagga."
- "This song is not in E."
- "I hate modes!"
- The spatula incident.
- Stylistic Suck: The entire m.o. of Autosuggestion's Alter Ego, The Happy Snuffles.
