* PinkIsForSissies: Subverted; Part of her ethos is taking often disrespected and dismissed aspects of pop culture (most things associated with girls), like girliness, kitschiness, plasticity, and saccharinity, and embraces them whole-heartedly.

Her SignatureStyle, both in her music and her photography, is her focus on hyperreality, cuteness, and sleek, heavily-produced, synthetic qualities that ''just'' toe the line on becoming UncannyValley, combined with very sincere (almost primitive) lyricism. In addition to releasing music, [[http://studio.hannahdiamond.com/she is also a photographer and visual designer]], designing her own cover and promotional art, and occasionally provides artwork for other acts within the label. She considers both her musical and visual work to be interrelated, and treats the entirety of her persona as an "audiovisual experience." Imagine an A.I.-generated popstar--but with no A.I. involved, and you have Hannah Diamond.

* SpiritualAntithesis: To another Music/PCMusic affiliate, GFOTY. While Hannah Diamond warmly embraces kitschiness, girliness, and plasticity with full earnesty, GFOTY is an abrasive {{Satire}} of pop music and American culture, poking at the hollowness of it through an ironic HardDrinkingPartyGirl character. Hannah Diamond's beats are sugary sweet, while GFOTY's are bizarre and occasionally abrasive, which is also ironic since a good portion of both of their music was produced by the same person: A.G. Cook.

** Hannah Diamond's approach to SillyLoveSongs also entails when the love ends up not working out, featured in tracks like "Fade Away" and "Invisible". All of them are more bittersweet than outright sad as usually they find some kind of closure, such as in "Love Goes On" where -- as the title implies -- [[SecondLove she finds solace in moving onto newer pastures.]]

Her SignatureStyle, both in her music and her photography, is her focus on hyperreality, cuteness, and sleek, heavily-produced, synthetic qualities that ''just'' toe the line on becoming UncannyValley, combined with very sincere (almost primitive) lyricism. Imagine an A.I.-generated popstar--but with no A.I. involved, and you have Hannah Diamond.
