1	* BrokenBase:
2	** Many parts of Calvin's fanbase prefer him more when he was a pop singer/disco producer than what he is now. People who don't know his previous work are split between thinking that he's a reliable producer who makes great dance hits, or is a generic and bland rich DJ who makes the same music over and over again.
3	** The base became even ''worse'' when he started dating Music/TaylorSwift. Many Swifties seem to think that Calvin is a very attractive and likeable guy, while others think that Taylor shouldn't waste her time on him.
4	* FriendlyFandoms:
5	** Typically is associated with Music/DavidGuetta, Music/{{Zedd}}, Dillon Francis, and Music/TaylorSwift (which Calvin used to date and even co-wrote "This Is What You Came For" under the pseudonym Nils Sjöberg) on the radio, and the same can be said with their fandoms.
6	** If you're into any type of EDM, chances are that Calvin Harris is a well-liked name for playing hits.
7	* GrowingTheBeard: Although already a hitmaker and big within the EDM circuit, [[CriticalDissonance critics didn't care for him]] until the release of ''[[NewSoundAlbum Funk Wav Bounces Vol. 1]]'', a foray into post-disco and funk that was met with praise and got him taken more seriously in a lot of music communities.
8	* MemeticMutation: Wenomechainsama [[labelnote:Explanation]]A mishearing of "When I met you in the summer" from ''Summer'', which became an ironic meme in 2022.[[/labelnote]]
9	* NightmareFuel:
10	** Calvin has been known to make some really weird Instagram posts...
11	** His music video for Slow Acid is creepy as well, with a blue girl stretching and turning into some kind of ghost (which happens to be the album's artwork). It really gets you wondering about what's in Calvin's head.
12	** The music video for "I'm Not Alone" portrayed Calvin Harris as a MadScientist performing horrific experiments on captive females.
13	* SignatureSong:
14	** "We Found Love" featuring Music/{{Rihanna}} is his most famous song. It's the track that got Calvin famous in America.
15	** "Summer" has Harris himself singing the vocals, and is the song that prevents people from getting him confused with another artist. It also got associated with a famous meme, further boosting its popularity.
16	* SuspiciouslySimilarSong: "Thinking About You" is similar to Music/{{Avicii}}/Tim Berg's "Silhouette" and "Seek Bromance".
17	** The guitar riffs in "Pray To God" are reminiscent to that of Stevie Nicks's "One Winged Dove".
18	** Swedish producer and fellow collaborator Alesso criticized "Iron" for being extremely similar to his unreleased single ''Clash''.
19	** "Feels" is often remarked to have the same chord progression as "Let's Groove" by Music/EarthWindAndFire.
