Lydia and her works provide examples of:
- Added Alliterative Appeal: Different Devils, Summer Songs, Lydia's Luscious Lizards. Lydia likes her alliteration, it seems.
- Gaia's Lament: One of the songs on Summer Songs has this exact title.
- Genre-Busting: Lydia's music dips in and out of many different musical genres, including Electronic Music, Emo Music and Psychedelic Rock.
- I Am the Band: As well as being the lead vocalist, Lydia is also responsible for the majority of the music and lyrics in her projects, including playing several instruments.
- One of the Boys: One of the Different Devils songs is titled "One of the Boys (I'll Pretend)". However, rather than being about a tomboy, it's instead about a transgender girl having to pretend she's "one of the boys" because she lacks the confidence to be "out" publicly.
- Self-Titled Album: The debut album, Different Devils.
