Broken Record: Quite a few of their songs feature one line repeated several times in the chorus. Averted when they are played as a single song in concert. Bookends: Light Grenades has "Earth to Bella", Parts 1 and 2 (though Part 1 is in the middle of the album instead of at the beginning). Bilingual Bonus: "Pistola" is Italian slang for "penis". Be Yourself: A recurring theme throughout the lyrics of Make Yourself- the album's title even hints at it. Their only reason for picking that name? Randomly skimming a dictionary, and seeing its definition had the word "sex" in it. Indeed, the band members have been less than thrilled with the name in recent times. Artifact Title: The name Incubus seemed more appropriate for their heavier, wilder early music than for their considerably more restrained later sounds. Alternative Metal: Their default genre- ''If Not Now, When?" is the only album of theirs that mostly doesn't count. But former bassist Alex Katunich used the rather quirky nickname "Dirk Lance", and their former DJ Gavin Coppell used the nickname "DJ Lyfe". Aerith and Bob: Most band members have gone by their common first names (Brandon, Mike, Jose, Ben), and their current DJ simply adds "DJ" before his last name (Kilmore). The best examples are in "Clean" (where Brandon repeatedly pronounces the word like "cLAYn" for some reason) and "Have You Ever" ("unabaSHED honeSTAY would be idee-HELL").
Accent Upon The Wrong Syllable: It happens quite a lot.
Incubus and their music provide examples of the following tropes: Alex " Dirk Lance" Katunich - bass (1991-2003).Gavin "DJ Lyfe" Koppell - turntables, keyboards.
