* FanHater: Subverted. Often when he's harshly criticizing a song or band, he will admit that he doesn't have a problem with his viewers actually liking what he doesn't. Sadly, this doesn't stop him from getting hate comments (see below). What's even amusing is that Luke has made it clear he doesn't have a ''problem'' with said bands people enjoy (although he doesn't reserve that for Music/LimpBizkit, Music/SimplePlan, or Music/KidRock).

* BrokenBase:
** The later ''Regretting the Past'' post-Music/KidRock reviews. They're either still entertaining and have the same amount of snark and wit Luke is known for...or he spends ninety percent of the time simply repeating himself over how something is "bland" and "boring".
** Some people have become incredibly tired of Luke's borderline cynical nature over Rock music apparently "being dead" simply because it no longer is a staple in radio play. Some people find it valid and he makes a point, while some feel he's simply invoking nostalgic glasses as a BiasSteamroller. [[TakeAThirdOption Others]] see him as being right on a certain level, but feel it's not as dead as he makes it out to be.

* HarsherInHindsight: His video "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovqUxSnniGg Will We Ever Be Happy Again With Linkin Park?]]", where he discusses the future of the band after the negatively received album ''One More Light'', quickly became this when frontman Chester Bennington committed suicide a month later. Surprisingly enough, the video was unlisted or privated after the news broke out.
* HePannedItNowHeSucks: Fans of Music/LimpBizkit and Music/{{Nickelback}} were not happy with his ''Regretting The Past'' videos on these respective artists. He even brings up that he got death threats for insulting the former in his RTP on Nickelback's ''All The Right Reasons.''

** He's also been getting some heat for his Top 10 Worst Love Songs in Rock video, mainly for putting "Is This Love?", "Kiss on My List", "Every Rose Has It's Thorn", and "Every Breath You Take" on there, the latter three placed higher than Hinder's "Lips of an Angel".
*** "Every Breath You Take" ''especially'' since it was pointed out by everyone (including [[Music/ThePolice Sting]]) that the song is from the perspective of a ''stalker'', not a love song.
