* DreadlockRasta: In most live performances of "Stefania", several members of the Orchestra are depicted in costumes that resemble head-to-toe dreadlocks, serving as visual representations of the titular mother character but also their rebellion against their oppressors.
* NationsAsPeople: Although "Stefania" was not written as such originally (it was written by Oleh Psiuk for his mother, its namesake), the song took on a new meaning amid the Russo-Ukraine war as a symbol for the people of the nation and could easily be interpreted as an ode to Ukraine resilience.
* SignatureHeadgear: Frontman Oleh Psiuk is rarely seen without his signature hot pink beanie.
* TheSquadette: The "Stefania" video follows various female soldiers carrying out heroic actions, [[EnforcedMethodActing filmed on-site in Ukraine in actual active battlegrounds]].
