{{
* [[Awesome Music (Sugar Wiki)|Awesome Music]]: Tons. Many of his songs could be pointed to as "awesome", but the ambient 10-minute-long epic "Strobe" is often cited as his best song by many fans. Other popular choices for "awesome music" include "Ghosts 'n Stuff" (both the original and the vocal mix), "I Remember", "Raise Your Weapon", "Professional Griefers", and "Cthulhu Sleeps", but it's safe to say that nearly ''any'' song of his, especially those released in the last few years, could be a viable contender for being awesome.
* [[Broken Base]]: A minor example. While [[Flame War|Flame Wars]] hardly ever break out, there is nevertheless a distinct rift between the old guard (usually ''Random Album Title'' and earlier) and the new fans (usually ''For Lack of a Better Name'' and later). This was brought about by his sudden swell in popularity following the release of "Ghosts 'n' Stuff" in 2008, new fans brought in by his newer albums such as ''4x4=12'' (which generally isn't well-liked among the old guard), and his changing style over time, as seen in "Early Album Weirdness" on the main page.
* [[Fan Dumb]]: Upon announcing his South Africa tour, some fans were making stereotypical comments about the place and complaining. Needless to say, [http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=10150465059432527 he wasn't happy about it].

** [[Broken Base|On a broader note]], you have some older fans who cry [[They Changed It, Now It Sucks|He Changed It Now It Sucks]] and [[
* [[Fandom Rivalry]]: Dubstep fans who don't like [[Skrillex]] tend to embrace deadmau5 instead. Ironic in that deadmau5 isn't really a dubstep artist (what with only two dubstep songs actually released as opposed to the ''many'' house tracks) and that he was the one who signed on Skrillex's Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites EP onto mau5trap and kickstarted his career.
** Doubly ironic in that Skrillex is credited (under his real name Sonny Moore) as one of the writers for Raise Your Weapon.
* [[Friendly Fandoms]]: His fandom tends to overlap with that of [[Skrillex]]'s. This is especially evident in how you can spot mau5head-wearing fans at Skrillex concerts.
** A lesser example occurs with anyone who's released stuff on mau5trap - Feed Me, SOFI, and Excision, for instance, have differing degrees of overlap with deadmau5's fandom. SOFI in particular shares many of her fans with deadmau5 because her vocals on "Sofi Needs a Ladder" and "One Trick Pony" started her professional career.
** And in a rare example of crossing genres, his fandom is getting some overlap between his own and that of the [[
* [[Harsher in Hindsight]]: Any jokes about him loving his cat more than his girlfriend were quickly made this when they broke up.
* [[Ho Yay]]: Often has it with [[Skrillex]] and especially [[Motley Crue|Tommy Lee]], the latter of which was taken [[Up to Eleven]] when the two of them were blatantly flirting with each other on Twitter.
** The above mention with Tommy Lee is summed up pretty well by [http://designyoutrust.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/829.jpg this image].
** The [[Ho Yay]] between him and Tommy Lee was also lampshaded by Tommy Lee's girlfriend, SOFI, after deadmau5 and Tommy Lee were discussing going to Fiji on Twitter:
{{quote|
'''Tommy Lee''': "@SOFIofficial @deadmau5 Busted!" }}
** And after Tommy Lee tweeted him asking about [https://twitter.com/#!/MrTommyLand/status/174912827876843521 what looks like a model head] of him (used for making mau5heads) in his garage, the ''first sentence'' he tweets back is "[https://twitter.com/#!/deadmau5/status/174941138036338688 you no like when i give you head?]"
Line 20:
** At the 2012 Grammys, Skrillex said that he loves him in one of his acceptance speeches. And earlier, deadmau5 said "[https://twitter.com/#!/deadmau5/status/168809713931255808 hahaha love u!]" in a Twitter post about how he's going to troll him at said Grammys.
** He also has some with [[Minecraft|Notch]].

** Aaaaand his friend Steve Duda. Deadmau5 ''loves'' this trope.

* [[Jerkass Woobie]]: On one hand, you have the "cranky", [[Cluster F
* [[Memetic Mutation]]: "Go to bed Joel" is an injoke in the fandom after it was spammed incessantly on a Q&A session he was having on /mu/ and is usually used as a response against one of his trolling attempts.
** "[X]mau5 - [Y] 'n' Stuff", such as "Breadmau5 - Toast 'n' Stuff", which is a parody of "Deadmau5 - Ghosts N Stuff". Variations are often posted all over the place in the comments for mau5-related [[YouTube]] videos.
Line 32:
* [[Portmanteau Couple Name]]: Skrillmau5 for [[Slash Fic]] involving him and [[Skrillex]].
* [[Ugly Cute]]: The mau5heads, when not [[Nightmare Fuel]].
** [http://www.djmag.com/images/top100djs/detail/1189.jpg This one]{{Dead link}} stands out.
* [[Visual Effects of Awesome]]: His [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tcxNIfVIUdU live shows] have to be seen to be believed. [[
