Tropes don't bother me, as long as they are skillfully executed, or subverted in some way, etc.
For example what you describe about use of music reminds me of "500 days of Summer" (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1022603) where I the "musical segment" is used to great effect.
For me 500 days of summer is a documentary movie, it helped me to deal with many stupid ideas I had about relationships.
In the film 500 Days of Summer, Tom (played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt) wears a shirt with this design on it.
I have a similar shirt and had no idea what the design was. I know Joy Division, I was familiar with songs on the album, but had never actually seen the cover. My postman, a man in his mid-50s called me out one day, asking me if I was a Joy Division fan. I said yes and asked why he would ask that and he just pointed to my shirt. I assume he thinks i'm a tragic hipster now...
