* SuperWeight: For individual major characters, ranges from Type 0 through Type 2.

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters

* AllDrummersAreAnimals: averted across the board. Zandra of Venus Envy is the sensible, feminine TeamMom, Musa is Maenad's SmartGuy, and Hallbjorn of Seax is a relatively calm and spiritual GentleGiant.

* RomanticTwoGirlFriendship: Victoria and Tea.

* MohsScaleOfRockAndMetalHardness:
** Amalthea's work is generally a 2-4, although her collaborations with Seax are at 7.
** The majority of Laugh of the Medusa's songs are in the 5-6 range.
** Most of Venus Envy's songs would fall at a 6.
** Seax and Maenad range between 7-9 for the most part.
** Sigyn Solefald's early works are at 9 or 10, her later experimental stuff is all over the map.
** Fetal Distress and Aortic Dissection's songs fell into the 9-10 range when Val was a member.
** Thanatocide is at 11 and proud of it.

* {{Transgender}}: Zandra Mackenzie of Venus Envy, Delilah Savage the DPI.

* Venus Envy: a four-piece Canadian all-woman punk band, most active in the late 1980s through the 1990s. Consists of a RedOniBlueOni lesbian couple, a transgendered drummer and a Scottish-Canadian punk rocker, and an EruditeStoner werewolf who can see ghosts. Very loosely inspired by ''Film/HardCoreLogo''.

* {{Transsexual}}: Zandra Mackenzie of Venus Envy, Delilah Savage the DPI.

* TheOtherRainforest: Dee's a Seattle native.

* CaptainErsatz: the Shogglets are based on the Shoggies from TheUnspeakableVaultOfDoom, although they can't talk and are written more as the CosmicHorrorStory version of the RidiculouslyCuteCritter.

Consists of a RedOniBlueOni lesbian couple, a transgendered drummer and a Scottish-Canadian punk rocker, and an EruditeStoner werewolf who can see ghosts. Very loosely inspired by ''HardCoreLogo''.

* NorseMythology: The boys from Seax are fans of it, as is Lilja from Maenad.

* TakeThat: An in-character example occurs when Amalthea's watching a friend play {{Metal Gear Solid}}.

* Venus Envy: a four-piece Canadian all-woman punk band, most active in the late 1980s through the 1990s. Consists of a RedOniBlueOni lesbian couple, a transgendered drummer who's the closest thing a Scottish-Canadian punk rocker can get to a YamatoNadeshiko, and an EruditeStoner werewolf who can see ghosts. Very loosely inspired by ''HardCoreLogo''.

* CaptainErsatz: the Shogglets are based on the Shoggies from TheUnspeakableVaultOfDoom, although they can't talk and are written more as the CosmicHorror version of the RidiculouslyCuteCritter.

** Dee Savage's movie career, from soft-core Swedish PlotWithPorn to HairMetal {{Mockumentary}} ''There Will Be Glitter''.

* PlotWithPorn: Delilah's brief career in "Swedish experimental films."

* FriendlyEnemies: Victoria and Tea. They're sort of a sexually ambiguous {{Bishoujo}} version of Magneto and Professor X.

* InformedAbility / TakeOurWordForIt: side effect of being a musician in a non-auditory medium.

* {{Loads And Loads Of Characters}}

* {{Mohs Scale Of Rock And Metal Hardness}}:

* {{Norse By Norsewest}}: the Venus Envy cast is the only group that has no connection with Scandinavia.
* {{Norse Mythology}}: the boys from Seax are fans of it, as is Lilja from Maenad.
* {{Oscar Bait}}: discussed by Amalthea. "So, does that mean that if I played a tone-deaf person who was good at math, they'd give me an award for it?"
* {{The Other Rainforest}}: Dee's a Seattle native.
* {{Our Monsters Are Different}}
* {{Pink Bishoujo Ghetto}}: the Maenad and Venus Envy stories in particular, but women in their mid-thirties and younger who range from "attractive in their way if you like that type" to outright beautiful do make up a rather large proportion of the cast.

* {{Reed Richards Is Useless}}: averted in various small ways due to the prevalence of Mundane Utility - for instance, medical technology is somewhat more advanced, and most dead languages that left sufficiently large samples of written text have been deciphered thanks to the work of a DPI scholar with universal translation powers.

* {{Slice Of Life}}

* SuperWeight: for individual major characters, ranges from Type 0 through Type 2.
* TakeThat: an in-character example occurs when Amalthea's watching a friend play {{Metal Gear Solid}}.

* {{There Are No Therapists}}: averted, although plenty of characters who probably need help still aren't getting it, and the one therapist to get much characterization has plenty of issues of her own.
* {{Tomboy And Girly Girl}}: Kate Cadaver and Zandra Mackenzie

* {{The Differently Powered Individual}}s: Venus Envy's bassist is a werewolf (which is treated like an exotic medical condition in this universe) who can see ghosts, Seax's guitarist and drummer can sense spirits, and the drummer can also astrally project (powers he inherited from his Siberian shaman ancestors). Then there's Mockingbird, a music savant mutant with sound-manipulation powers, who sometimes hangs out with Seax, and Karma, a mutant healer who manages to benefit from both sides of her EquivalentExchange based healing powers. There's also a quirky group of low tier semi-superheroes who occasionally do in fact fight crime, although they spend more time on various sorts of mercenary work and exploring their own interests.
