Oddly enough, out of two of his best-known mainstream hits (that'd be "Come to Daddy" and "Windowlicker"), one has experienced [[Creator Backlash]] and the other is a [[Black Sheep Hit]].

=== Tropes present in Aphex Twin's works: ===
 
* [[Affectionate Parody]]: The cover art for ''Mike & Rich'' [http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_uo_eC6uZluY/RlGjoGKY6WI/AAAAAAAAAD0/KAew9P4i4e4/s400/mikerich.jpeg parodies the box art for the Milton Bradley game Downfall.]
* [[Bread, Eggs, Milk, Squick]].
Line 147 ⟶ 144:
** When a representative for the band [[The Lemonheads]] came to his house one morning asking for the remix he was commissioned to do, he went to his studio, ripped a random song which was irrelevant to the song he was requested to do, and gave it to him for in exchange for thousands of dollars. Supposedly, this was due to Aphex completely forgetting about the remix he was commissioned to do, but apparently, he didn't demand money.
** He looks and acts incredibly annoyed on several interviews.
*** On the other hand, there's [https://web.archive.org/web/20080521045506/http://www.space-age-bachelor.com/features/99/aphex.htm this]. He shows a few [[Jerkass]] traits (and quite a few [[Hedonist|hedonistic]] ones) during the interview, but they just make it that much more real and personal.
** Oddly enough, when there was a snafu regarding [[The Lonely Island]] sampling Avril 14th for "Iran (So Far Away)", Aphex Twin didn't mind and was "cool" about the whole thing. His label, however, wasn't.
** On the other hand, he once criticized the desciption of his music as "Intelligent Dance Music", as it implied everyone else's music was stupid, before joking it was "really nasty" to everyone else's music.
