Tropes associated with Myslovitz are the following:

• Album Title Drop: Averted usually, with exception of "Happiness Is Easy".
• As Long as It Sounds Foreign: Myslovitz, a band from the city of Mysłowice. To make it a tiny bit weirder, the German name of the place^note since it spent a good few centuries in German hands, one way or another is Myslowitz, so it's a corruption of both.
• Britpop: More or less their music is this genre, despite being a band from Poland.
• Fading into the Next Song: All three first songs ("Sprzedawcy marzeń", "Acidland" and "Bar mleczny Korova") from "Corova Milky Bar" album are overlapping each other.
• Greatest Hits Album: The one from 2003.
• Hidden Track: On a special edition of "Korova Milky Bar", "Postcard from an airport" starts playing after a long pause, after a 9 minute mark, although it is listed in a description on the back.
• Live Album: A few. A special edition from first one has a live from Elbląg on a second disc, and "Happiness Is Easy" got one on December 2006, a few months after original.
• Longest Song Goes Last: Played with, usually the second-to-last one lasts for longer than usual 5 minutes. However, "Miłość w czasach popkultury" has the final song "Zamiana" lasting the longest.
• Self-Titled Album: "Myslovitz" is their first one, titled after the town where the band originated from.
• Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism: Leaning more into the optimism, although they also have some more pessimistic songs.
• Shout-Out: "Korova Milky Bar" as a title is a reference to "A Clockwork Orange".
• Surprisingly Gentle Song: The entire output of the band is this, in comparison to other bands in Poland.
• You Are Better Than You Think You Are: "Acidland" is about that, by being a very heartwarming and optimistic song.
  No, don't give up and take life as it is
  Think there's no chance
  That you would live again
• You Are Not Alone: Also "Acidland".
