Liquid Stranger provides examples of the following tropes:
- Big Creepy-Crawlies: “Creepers Crawlers” seems to be about this from the title, but the actual lyrics themselves are more-or-less just nature-themed Word Salad Lyrics.
- Cluster F-Bomb: Most of “Bully”’s lyrics are comprised of nothing but assorted swears and slurs.
- Killer Robot: "Destroy Him My Robots", which has a threatening vibe and robotic voices saying things like "destroy", and "Robot Rox", which features dark strings in the intro and more robotic voices, involve these.
- "Psycho" Strings: “Exit The Vault” features what sounds like a digitized version of these just before the drop and after it, as well.
- Sampling: In a lot of his tracks. For example, "Jolt" uses voice clips from Half-Life 2.
- Sci-Fi Kitchen Sink: Liquid Stranger incorporates a lot of sci-fi themes into his works.
- Stuffy Old Songs About the Buttocks: "Shake My Ass", as you would expect from the song's title. Just try not to imagine someone shaking their butt to the bassline.
