Budd Dwyer has become the icon of segment of society best described as "Death Freaks". Usually young, the Death Freaks seek to find meaning in death. Because of the public nature of his death the Death Freaks focus on him. This can be a warning sign that people with an abnormal interest in the Dwyer suicide as opposed to other aspects of his life are frequently making a cry for help.
In 1988, Steve Albini 's band Rapeman released an EP called "Budd", addressing Dwyer's suicide directly.
In 1995 , the rock band Filter had a hit with the song " Hey Man, Nice Shot ", which, although not explicitly mentioning Dwyer, was "inspired" by Dwyer's suicide, according to band members.
The Marilyn Manson song "Get Your Gunn", which appears on Portrait Of An American Family contains samples of Budd Dwyer saying "This will hurt someone".
