* FifteenMinutesOfFame: Carter wasn't without commercial success -- his second album ''Aaron's Party (Come Get It)'' went triple platinum -- but his fanbase was limited to the preteen demographic. It wasn't long before his young fans became teenagers and sought out more mature music, at which point his career never recovered.

** Also, Nick Carter's heartbreaking statement on social media following his brother's death. He basically said that while it was no secret that they had a troubled relationship, Aaron was still his only brother, and Nick had always hoped that Aaron would one day get his life together which unfortunately would never come to be.

* OvershadowedByControversy: In his final years, he was more well-known for feuding with his siblings (to the point both had restraining orders against him) and his erratic behavior online than for his actual music.

* StuckInTheirShadow: Unlike Music/JanetJackson who successfully made a name for herself independent of her [[Music/MichaelJackson older brother]], Aaron was never quite so fortunate. Commercials for his music and articles about him always took time to remind the public that he was the younger brother of [[Music/BackstreetBoys Backstreet Boy Nick Carter]], reinforcing Nick's FaceOfTheBand status in his group.

* TearJerker: His interviews for Lance Bass's documentary ''The Boy Band Scheme'' are by far the most difficult to watch. He's the only one interviewed who completely defends his former manager Lou Pearlman, whom Carter describes as being a better father figure than his actual father (who, mind you, fired a gun next to his ear forcing him to sign a recording contract, resulting in Aaron becoming partially deaf). Despite this, his attitude and eventual tearful breakdown, combined with allegations that Pearlman sexually harassed many of his clients, both male and female, makes it clear that, whatever their relationship was, it was very complicated and Carter was a deeply traumatized man.
