Music Genre dissonance happens when a work features a song with an informed style that does not fit with the actual genre it belongs. Most of the time it fit into two categories: The music heard falls into Informed Ability, the work claims it to belong to a certain style but the actual song belongs to another. A character claims to like a certain music genre, belongs explicitly or implicitly to a music subculture but the music he or she listen to differs to said genre. Do not confuse with Scary Musician, Harmless Music. Both tropes can overlap but the main difference is that this trope happens when said genre does not fit with the stated standards and the later is when a musician looks more hardcore than the music they play without necessarily saying that their style is different. Note that this trope is part Truth in Television, since music genres are generally named by the press, and thus, the definitions of the style are very subjective. A band early associated with a genre may not seem like that by later standards. (Note: No real life examples unless if intentional, such as a band releasing a song with a genre mentioned within the lyrics or the title that does not sound as the style mentioned) Compare to Artistic License – Music and In the Style of |

Most of the songs Marceline from Adventure Time sings are softer than her punkish appearance suggests she would. | |

Tom and Jerry: "Rock'n'Rodent" really should've been called "Jazzin' Jerry"; the music in the cartoon sounded closer to upbeat jazz than what rock & roll sounded like when the cartoon was released in 1967. | |

S4E21 of Bones, "Mayhem on a Cross", concerned a murder within the Black Metal scene. However, none of the music heard in the episode was actual black metal. For example, one of the real-life bands who guest-starred in the episode, Droid, plays Groove Metal. | |

The YTPMV "Big Beat Mario" received a lot of clout when it was released for being an elaborate, entirely original Big Beat song comprised entirely of samples from Hotel Mario. Naturally it spawned a lot of video responses using other sources with "Big Beat (Source Name)" in the title. However, the vast majority of the responses only took the "elaborate, original composition made entirely of source samples" part to heart, and most of them were not of the big beat genre despite having "Big Beat" in the title. | |

A season three episode of Disney Channel's Wizards of Waverly Place ("Eat To The Beat") had Alex connive to get a heavy metal band named UGGH (Expy of real-life shock-rockers GWAR) to play mood music at her school's cafeteria during lunch. Another teenaged wizard surreptitiously casts a spell to make them play smooth jazz, leading Alex to conclude, "You guys look hard but rock soft. Like cafeteria Mexican food." | |

Jem: Jem and the Holograms are considered as a rock band in-universe, but their music is plain pop. The Misfits met a similar mislabel: They look like tough glam punkers, and have been classified as punk rock in some instances, despite of playing New Wavenote New Wave as a genre does have its roots in punk, but the kind of new wave that the Misfits play is clearly more akin to the poppy styles of Duran Duran and The Go-Go's than say, Devo. The Stingers are clearly supposed to be a rock or metal band, and Riot looks like a glam rock or hair metal singer, however their music is pop. |

Phineas and Ferb: Love Handel are referred to as a Glam Metal band but their signature song "You Snuck Your Way Right Into My Heart" is a pop ballad. Averted by the rest of the songs we hear from them in the show. With songs like "The Ballad of Klimpaloon" and "Robot Riot" being a lot closer to the songs you'd expect a Hard Rocking glam band to make. So it even has a little basis in reality, as a lot of real life glam metal or hard rock bands have a Black Sheep Hit that's softer than their usual material. Zanzibar is a New Wave band, but their music is plain pop. Vanessa is punk, but she listens to Hard Rock, and her signature song, "I'm Me", is very hard sounding rock that does not sound at all like Punk Rock. |

Tuesday X from The X's looks like a standard punk rocker, but in an episode where she forms a band, the music she plays is a much more badass extreme Hardcore Punk, in an inversion of Scary Musician, Harmless Music note Standard Punk Rock bands tend to look with the typical spiky, unnaturally dyed hair and extravagant fashion, while members of the Hardcore Punk subculture tend to wear more plain looking clothing, mixing less color as standing out less, since one of HCP statements is to focus more on music rather than looks | |

On NewsRadio, Matthew goes through a punk phase, but the bands he thinks are punk are '80s hair bands like Whitesnake and Poison. Dave, who was an actual punk fan in his youth, found this repulsive. | |

Cytus II has the two bands that the character Cherry has fronted: Cherry PuNK and Crystal PuNK. Despite the names, very few of the songs associated with them sound anything like Punk Rock, having a few Pop Punk songs at most. Cherry PuNK is closer to Alternative/Indie Rock, and Crystal PuNK is similar, although with a few Heavy Metal songs thrown into the mix. | |

Ember from Danny Phantom has a punk-looking band but her Villain Song, "Remember", is a pop song. Sam even refers to it as such. Even her other song "Girls' Night Out", which is much closer to rock than "Remember", is still very poppy and doesn't sound remotely punk. | |

Brütal Legend: Done in-universe with Kabbage Boy. They call themselves a heavy metal band, but they actually play a mixture of pop, Metalcore (which, despite the name, is often treated as closer to Hardcore Punk than "real metal"), and Nu Metal (another genre whose metal-ness is highly contentious), much to the disgust of the old-school metal-loving Eddie. | |
