I remember the first time I heard one of the CD samplers that musicians use, and then started recognizing there unaltered use in pop music. Some sounds were so widely used, it almost felt like a Wilhelm scream intent rather than musical intent.
This happens in every genre. I remember getting a K2000 and playing around with the preset floppy disks, only to suddenly find Hallucinogen leads cascading out of the speakers. In fairness I had read interviews with him where he said he didn't do super fancy programming and just picked sounds that seemed to go well together, but I thought he was just being modest.
