The list may make the group sound a little cooler and more interesting than it really is.
The influence onof Nirvana ofon 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 as you are". (Probably an indication that Trent is a limited guitar player, since this intro is not all that difficult.)
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 was then, this is dumb" he and Jesse compare the CD and vinyl editions of Frank Zappa's song "My guitar wants to kill your mama".
