When you take a look at a the opening and Jaspers description of the Crystal Gems when they land on earth, Jaspers wording is given context, and can basically be considered foreshadowing. "Defective pearl" Implying Pearl had some sort of imperfection In comparison to what can only be inferred as other pearls. In "Friend Ship" she further fits into this theory when she describes herself as "Just a pearl" and "Useless on [her] own" She also says she wants to feel "Confident, secure, and complete" Whether that means pearl is lonely in a romtantic sense or is "imperfect" by being incomplete is still hard to tell.

Garnet also has a bit of backstory foreshadowed through the extended comic-con intro and Jaspers description. "Shameless display" seems to reffer to the act of fusing being looked down upon in homeworld, or at least for those gems from homeworld sent to earth. In the intro, Garnet says she'll fight for the place where she can be "free" and "live together." It's heavily imlpied that she fought for earth originally so that ruby and saphire can stay fused as garnet. Whether this is universal for all gems wishing to fuse or just for a "forbiden love" scenario between the two gems is unknown, though its implied homeworld doesn't respect the sanctity of fusion, shown in "keeping it together" where garnet says "So this is what homeworld thinks of fusion" and the fact that they basically prefformed inhumane experimentation on fallen gems

I'm going to guess the word overcooked in Amethysts description is relevant to her backstory in one way or another. The gem monsters may be those gems from the kindergarden, so something maybe "overcooked" is the reason amethyst isn't a monster while the others appearantly are. Of course, this is much less credible than the other theories for garnet and pearl.
