Monetochka music provides examples of:
- Art Shift: Her trademark, her videos jump from style to style multiple times in just a few minutes, going from live action to animation, most notable in the video for "Падать в грязь" (Fall into the mud), which features dozens of different animation styles.
- Literal Music Video: Several of her music videos are just a literal lyrics-to picture adaptation.
- Riches to Rags:
- the music video of "Нет монет" (No Coins) narrates the story of her going from being broke to becoming a superstar.
- In the song "Крошка" (Baby), the lyrical heroine has a modest origin and begins her career as a singer by playing guitar on the street and writing poetry on a napkin in a bar, and ends up with her face appearing on all billboards.
- The '90s. The song "90" is inspired by the 90's era Russia.
- Black Comedy:
- It is actively used in the song "Украинский вопрос" (The Ukrainian question), where the father and daughter are literally trying to kill each other because of different political positions, and the mother left home because of their constant fights.
- In "Риски и Ириски" (Risks and Toffee), the lyrical heroine is upset that, according to statistics, she has more chances to die because of toffee than in a duel with a pirate.
- In the song "Коза" (Goat), the nursery rhyme that children who do not want to eat porridge are gored by a horned goat turns first into a description of a demon eating children, and then into a satire on the norms of upbringing in some Russian families.
- In the song "90", stories about lawlessness in the 90s in Russia are exaggerated so much that it is impossible to take them seriously.
- The Big Bad Wolf: In the song "Переживу" (I will survive) there is a line "And a hungry, hungry wolf will not eat me".
- The Devil Is a Loser: In the song "Чайлдфри" (Childfree), Satan is more concerned about his everyday problems, like getting fat, than about torturing sinners.
- Gruesome Goat:
- In the song "Чайлдфри" (Childfree), Satan has horns and hooves.
- In the song "Коза" (Goat), the horned goat is an infernal evil.
- Affectionate Parody:
- The song "Нет монет" is a parody of rap tracks about a difficult creative path, which ridicules them with its uncharacteristic naivety and simplicity for the genre.
- "Козырный Туз" (Trump Ace) parodies a Blatnaya pesnya, but unfair Russian laws are ridiculed more than prison culture.
- The Determinator: literally the whole song "Переживу"
