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. |
