* MagnificentBitch: Adagio Dazzle is the leader of the [[EnthrallingSiren Sirens]] and the brains behind everything they do. When they realize Equestrian magic has been brought into this world, Adagio plays a game of XanatosSpeedChess to locate the source of the magic in the Rainbooms and enflare tensions between them to make them fighting, letting the Sirens absorb their magic and regain their full powers. She balances this with using their singing to drive the school into a competitive frenzy, generating more and more energy for them to feed on while they await the Rainbooms giving into fighting. Along the way, save for frustration at her sisters [[TheDitz Sonata]] and [[GrumpyBear Aria]], Adagio stays calm, confident, in-control, and always ready to twist an unexpected turn of events to their favor.

* FountainOfMemes: Sonata's facial expressions, dialogue, and [[TheDitz general personality]] have given the fandom plenty of ammunition for more memes, and it hasn't been wasted. Her blank-eyed stares in several scenes have provided fodder for image macros, "for realzies" is now her CatchPhrase, and tacos are rapidly becoming her TrademarkFavoriteFood in the same vein as Derpy and muffins. And accordingly there are images of her with [[Blog/AskFlufflePuff Fluffle Puff]] (who has had a taco obsession since long before this movie happened).

** Once ''Rainbow Rocks'' proved itself a SurprisinglyImprovedSequel, it set the bar against which all following ''Equestria Girls'' media would be measured. While most subsequent films and specials have been well received in their own right, general consensus is that ''Rainbow Rocks'' is still the high point of the franchise.

* EarWorm: In series tradition.
** "Shake Your Tail!" will no doubt be in the heads of many fans, even long after the film is out.
** [[VillainSong "Let's Have a Battle (of the Bands)"]] as well.
** "Tricks Up My Sleeve" has a very catchy beat to it. Being a song for Trixie, which fans had been demanding get a solo ever since she first appeared, also helped make sure fans wouldn't forget it.
** "Under Our Spell" has about the same effect in real life as it does in the movie.
** Also, the full version of "Awesome as I Wanna Be".
** "Welcome to the Show" is very catchy too.

** Sunset Shimmer's redemption arc and promotion to protagonist of the ''Equestria Girls'' series ended up setting up this trope to Starlight Glimmer, who similarly started as a villain that went through a redemption arc and joined the cast as a supporting character.

** Aria's MegaTwintails have sparked comparisons to [[Music/{{Vocaloid}} Hatsune Miku]]. The fact that she's an EvilDiva certainly helps (though Miku isn't evil [[OCStandIn unless you want her to be]]).
** The Dazzlings have also been compared to another trio of villains from ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender''.

** Fans of ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'' will no doubt find something familiar in a trio of mysterious villains led by a CreepyAwesome manipulator who infiltrate a school to further their plans.
** And then there's their resemblance to the Sanderson sisters from ''Film/HocusPocus''. But don't take our word for it, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rHH60g3p07k see for yourself!]]
** They've also been compared to the Sirens from ''WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack''.
** The Dazzlings are also, albeit jokingly, compared to the [[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventure Pillar Men.]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VoOW1Vvl2oU Case in point.]]
** An aggressive leader with a temper, lots of hair and a warm color palette, a blue-skinned girl who many expected to perform a HeelFaceTurn, and an apathetic SnarkKnight who utilizes a lot of green in her design. Are we talking about the Dazzlings or [[WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse the Homeworld Gems?]]

** Rarity is a pop musician with a keen sense for blending fashions from several eras, inspiring comparisons to Stevie Nicks and Joni Mitchell. As the directors said in the DVDCommentary, "What era is she from?" "I mean, guys, she ''does'' look fabulous."
