* This part in particular takes many inspirations from Italian artworks and culture during UsefulNotes/TheRenaissance. For example, Araki stated in an interview that Giorno's hair locks is meant to resemble the hair on Creator/{{Michelangelo}}'s ''Art/{{David}}'', while the character Scolippi outright quotes Michelangelo during one of his ramblings.

* '''Pocoloco''''s name could be a reference the band [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poco Poco]], or the song [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Un_Poco_Loco Un Poco Loco]]. Both his [[NamesTheSame Stand and horse]] are named [[Music/{{Outkast}} Hey Ya!]].

* '''[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenzo_Takada Kenzo]]''''s Stand: [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thom_Brennan Dragon's Dream]]

* When coming across the plant that sprouting the Green Baby, Jolyne says that the leaves on it are shaped like [[ComicStrip/{{Peanuts}} Snoopy]]'s head.

** In the dub, he exclaims [[Film/AlmostFamous "I am a golden god!"]] after beating up Sonny Likir.

* '''Josuke Higashikata''''s Stand: [[Music/PinkFloyd Crazy Diamond]]. The official localized name is "Shining Diamond" which retains the [[Music/WishYouWereHere "Shine On You Crazy Diamond"]] reference, though on a more subtle level.

** One of his attacks with Magician's Red is called Crossfire Hurricane, after the first line from Music/TheRollingStones' "Jumpin' Jack Flash" ("I was born in a crossfire hurricane...")

* '''Bruno Bucciarati''''s Stand: [[Music/TheRollingStones Sticky Fingers]]. The ''Sticky Fingers'' album cover has a functional zipper on the sleeve, which Araki states is the inspiration for Sticky Fingers' Stand powers.

* '''Scolippi''''s Stand: [[Music/TheRollingStones Rolling Stones]]

* '''Lang [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wrangler_%28jeans%29 Rangler]]''''s Stand: [[Music/TheRollingStones Jumpin' Jack Flash]]

* The Eleven Nameless Men's Stand, [[Music/TheRollingStones Tatoo You!]].

* '''Music/FooFighters''' (often shortened to just F.F.) and their Stand with the same name.

* In one of Yukako's earliest appearances, she mentions Music/{{Prince}} and asks what the term "funky music" means. For bonus points, the anime episode that adapted the scene aired about a month after Prince passed away.

** Weather's buffalo hat appears to be modeled after the mascot of Music/{{Jamiroquai}}, which was, in turn, designed after lead singer Jay Kay's {{nice hat}}s.

* '''[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gucci Guccio]]''''s Stand: Music/{{Survivor}}

* '''Hato Higashikata''''s Stand: [[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fanatic_(album) Walking]] Music/{{Heart}}

Araki has a marked affinity for non-Japanese music, particuarly classic rock and progressive rock. The sheer number of references in his work is baffling. This was a nightmare regarding translation, since most of the names were copyrighted, so they had to rename a lot.[[note]]And that's not counting years of the fans directly translating the names to the band names when the pronunciation was different, e.g. Wamuu rather than Wham! (Wamu!).[[/note]] And as it went on, a little pop group here, a little rapper there appeared, in addition to more contemporary bands.

* '''Bruno Bucciarati''''s Stand: [[Music/TheRollingStones Sticky Fingers]]

* Sorbet's death and his body being hacked into pieces and preserved in cases filled with formaldehyde is likely inspired by some of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damien_Hirst Damien Hirst]]'s artworks, in which he preserves animal bodies (sometimes chopped into pieces) in formalin solution ([[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Physical_Impossibility_of_Death_in_the_Mind_of_Someone_Living here's an example]]).
* The dialogue in ''Sleeping Slaves'' with the florist asking Bucciarati to avenge his daughter is a probable reference to the iconic opening scene of [[Film/TheGodfather ''The Godfather'']], where an undertaker begs a Mafia don to avenge his raped daughter.

* '''[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gucci Guccio]]''''s Stand: [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Survivor_%28band%29 Survivor]]

* Jolyne references and spoils for the reader the famous twist ending of ''Film/TheSixthSense''.

** The anime adaptation of the Little Feat vs. Aerosmith fight adds [[https://jojowiki.com/File:GW_Ep_11_-_Under_the_Radar.png a shot]] that resembles [[https://i.scdn.co/image/ab67616d0000b27301faa97efee860724dea9239 the cover]] for Little Feat's album, ''Under the Radar''.

* The dialogue in ''Sleeping Slaves'' with the florist asking Bucciarati to avenge his daughter is a probable reference to the iconic opening scene of [[Film/TheGodfather ''The Godfather'']], where an undertaker begs a Mafia don to avenge his raped daughter.
