Tropes related to EMC:
- Bathos: Some of the sequences of images in the "Floating" music video could be seen as this.
-
Black Sheep Hit: His most popular song, "On the Melancholy End," is much more laid back and melodic than the majority of his output. - B-Side: "Kiss Kiss"
- Epic Rocking: "eternal (my mother is a poet)" clocks in at 7:09.
- "New Years Day" lasts for 6:40.
- Everything Is an Instrument: "On the Melancholy End" uses the sounds of doors slamming and golf balls being hit for percussion.
- Fake-Out Fade-Out: At the end of "The Twilighters."
- Gratuitous Panning: During the bridge of "Sunny," the percussion track suddenly becomes warped and begins to move back and forth between the channels.
- Inaction Video: "Floating." "Exquisitism" might also count.
- Last Note Nightmare: "In Memory of the Fallen" ends with white noise.
- Minimalistic Cover Art: All three of his major releases so far. Most of his singles, too.
- Miniscule Rocking: "Run Run Run" is exactly three minutes long, and is the only song shorter than four minutes off Floating EP.
- Mood Whiplash: The "Floating" music video has all sorts of different images which can be fairly shocking one after the other. The most notable example is when a peaceful shot of seemingly endless bubbles slowly floating upward is replaced with a power plant being demolished with explosives.
- Precision F-Strike: In "BEARS!!!", as in the article it samples."My neighbor just got fucking eated by a bear, okay?"
- "Psycho" Strings: In "7 Days."
- Re-release the Song: A version of "Moonlight Streets" has appeared on all three major releases from him so far, although it was removed from Floating EP when Exquisitism was released.
- Sampling: "BEARS!!!" features audio from SCP-2875.
- Several other tracks from Saccharine and Saccharine, Pt. 2 feature samples prominently, including "Saccharine," "The Invisible Hand," "Saturn Song," and "Proud."
- The Something Song: "Saturn Song."
- Stage Names
- Surprisingly Gentle Song: The subdued "Floating" at the end of the harsher Floating EP.
- Surreal Music Video: "Floating" and debatably "Sweet Sixteen."
- Tick Tock Tune: "Kiss Kiss."
- Title Track: "Exquisitism."
- Also, "Floating" on Floating EP.
