Tropes concerning his work "In my bathtub, in a dark pose
 * Banned In the US: Not his music, but Pogo himself, due to certain events. However, there is a chance for the ban to be lifted.
 * Bishonen: ...yeah, actually.
 * Everything Is an Instrument
 * Executive Meddling: Currently being essentially held hostage by Disney- any Disney-related remixes have to be commissioned by them, or they'll sue him. This is the main reason his Pirates of the Caribbean remix, "Swashbuckle", will never see the light of day.
 * It Will Never Catch On: Nick was reluctant to upload his track "Gardyn" to YouTube, since people would find it a little... unnerving to see him stray away from his original form. However, it gained a lot of praise, and it even became one of the top 25 videos of YouTube Play 2010.
 * Self Deprecation: He has a video where he showcases (and mocks) tracks he made when he was younger, most of which he doesn't like. Here.
 * Signature Song: "Alice"
 * Word Salad Lyrics: Nearly all of his songs. "Buzzwing" is a notable example:

Great idea (loserface)

Great, I got a dark pose

Buzz!"


 * Also "Mellow Brick Road," which has clearer lyrics than most of his other songs.
 * X Meets Y: Todd Edwards meets either Nujabes, Owl City, or both.
