So you've just bought a new novel from your favorite author. You've read every book thus far, and are outright giddy about this new book. You pop onto your couch and open it up, and... hey! This doesn't look like anything before it from this author, or, as you will learn later, after it. You've discovered the outlier; the author has committed Genre Adultery. Perhaps the sausage machine producer of crime novels has shifted from a light hearted Great Detective to a hard boiled Dirty Cop or even as extreme as writing in a completely different genre, but not often. Keep in mind that just because it's different doesn't mean it's bad.

Perhaps the sausage machine producer of crime novels has shifted from a light hearted Great Detective to a hard boiled Dirty Cop or even as extreme as writing in a completely different genre, but not often. Keep in mind that just because it's different doesn't mean it's bad. This trope doesn't just exclusively apply to literature, but it's certainly an obvious way to phrase it. Music albums, movie sequels, even tv shows can be a radical departure from the creator's norm. The only thing that matters is that the new style is never return to again in such a manner which is what distinguished it from He Also Did, its Supertrope. For musicians it may lead to a Black Sheep Hit and may occur for when trying for New Sound Albums but never return to that sound.
