The band is mainly influenced by alternative rock and alternative metal. Trent's name itself has been suspected of deriving from Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails, with the name Mystik Spiral deriving from the Nine Inch Nails album, ''The Downward Spiral''. Trent's appearance also largely resembles Perry Farrell of Jane's Addiction. According to Reburb, the influences of Mystik Spiral are "Jane's Addiction, Morrissey, The Doors (the band, not the movie, which sucked), Cocteau Twins, Zappa, NIN, Nirvana, Gregorian Chants, thunder, the Banana Splits."
Trent can be seen listening to "Clown" by Korn in "[[The Invitation]]". In "[[Road Worrier]]", Trent and Jesse are heard listening to "A.D.I.D.A.S." by Korn, as well as "I Don't Know Anything" by Mad Season. In "[[That Was Then, This Is Dumb]]", Trent has a Korn poster on his wall. In multiple shots of Trent's room, we see he also has a poster of The Sisters of Mercy
A list of influences shows how a group wants to present themselves to fans and the press, and Mystik Spiral's list of seven cool bands and three more idiosyncratic choices is typical of such lists. The list may make the group sound a little cooler and more interesting than it really is.
