History YMMV / Zedd

* HilariousInHindsight: When the title track of Zedd's sophomore album ''True Colors'' was first premiered, many people mistook the singer to be Kesha, and the track even listed her as a feature on it before the error was corrected. A year after the album was released, not only did Kesha sing the song live during Zedd's Coachella set, ''True Colors'' was actually ''re-released as a single'' with Kesha's vocals replacing the original uncredited one. Doubles both as this, HeartwarmingInHindsight, and as a massive SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome for Zedd for helping Kesha get back on her feet after her publicized trial against her manager Dr. Luke (whom she accused of sexually abusing her).

* FandomEnragingMisconception: His name is Zedd, not DJ Zedd as some media outlets have recently taken to calling him.

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: "Clarity", "Codec", "Stars Come Out", "Stay the Night", "Addicted to a Memory", "Follow You Down", the Legend of Zelda remix... take your pick.

* AllStarCast: Played straight with ''True Colors''.

* BrokenBase: There's a split between the fans that miss his earlier electro-house influenced material that is seen in ''Clarity'' and those that embrace his newer sound that is prominently featured in ''True Colors''.

* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: Or rather, Americans Love Zedd. He's one of the most popular [=DJs=] in the United States, but in his success back home has been extremely limited and he is seen as just another DJ. For example, his sophomore album ''True Colors'' debuted in the Top 5 on the U.S. album charts, but in Germany it only barely made the Top 50!
* HilariousInHindsight: When the title track of Zedd's sophomore album True Colors was first premiered, many people mistook the singer to be Ke$ha, and the track even listed her as a feature on it before the error was corrected. A year after the album was released, not only did Ke$ha sing the song live during Zedd's Coachella set, True Colors was actually ''re-released as a single'' with Ke$ha's vocals replacing the original uncredited one. Doubles both as this, HeartwarmingInHindsight, and as a massive CrowningMomentOfAwesome for Zedd for finally helping Ke$ha get back on her feet since her Pitbull collaboration with ''Timber'' in 2013.
* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: The pop influenced sound that has permeated his newer material has had its share of detractors.
* SignatureSong: "Clarity" may well be his most well known mainstream hit, but Beautiful Now, I Want You To Know, Stay the Night, and Spectrum are among that list as well. There's also many non-radio hits from ''True Colors'' that personify Zedd's musical influence, which includes the likes of Addicted to a Memory, Bumble Bee, Transmission, Papercut, and Daisy.
