'''Mystik Spiral''' is
They often introduce themselves as, "We're Mystik Spiral, but we're thinking of changing the name." Some of the alternate names have included "Helpful Corn" and "Something-Something Explosion". They also wondered aloud if it would help if they "spelled Mystik with 2 Ys".

"Reburb" also cites Trent is responsible for "clapping", Jesse "lead 'yeah's", Nick "background 'yeah's", and Max "supportive perspiration, lip synch - but he's sensitive about it".
In "[[The Daria Database]]" (circa season 2), Jesse's younger brother [[Danny Moreno|Danny]] was the self-proclaimed "recording secretary" for their fan club - meaning he does all the writing for it - and was desperate to become their fifth member, thinking it would happen "next year". A year later, on the website's Fan Club section, Danny goes unmentioned.

"Reburb" says Jane used to be "director of band graphics until she got fed up with the whole spiral direction controversy and quit".

[[Glenn Eichler]] [https://www.pastemagazine.com/articles/2016/10/youre-standing-on-my-neck-the-life-and-death-of-th.html told Paste] that he wrote most of these songs "just because it was fun".
==Musical influences==
[[Image:Trentroom.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Trent's room at [[Casa Lane]]. A poster for The Sisters of Mercy (the rock band, not the Catholics) appears above Trent's pillow.]]
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 on his wall. In "[[Pierce Me]]", Trent is listening to "Cut You In" by Jerry Cantrell as he is driving Daria to [[Dega Street]].
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.
The influence of Nirvana on Mystik Spiral is obvious, and while the group doesn't play covers, in [[The Invitation]], Jane mentions that Trent has been practicing the intro to their song "Come
A few bands Trent likes are mentioned in the series: He has Korn, Prodigy, Sisters of Mercy and Bauhaus posters in his room. In "[[That
