Tropes used in Red Hot Chilli Pipers include:
  • Bolero Effect: This is a favorite trope of the Red Hot Chilli Pipers; start with a haunting melody by a lone piper, then the other pipes join in, then the drums and the electric guitar. They even have a piece (track 3 on Blast Live) called "Celtic Bolero".
  • Early Installment Weirdness: Their first (self-titled) album has no rock covers. Later albums are almost nothing but rock covers.
  • Neoclassical Punk Zydeco Rockabilly: They coined the term "bagrock".
  • Punny Name:
    • The Red Hot Chilli Pipers themselves, playing off of the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
    • Music for the Kilted Generation, playing off The Prodigy's album Music for the Jilted Generation.
  • Refrain from Assuming: Played With on Music for the Kilted Generation. Their cover of "Baba O'Riley" is titled "Baba O'Riley"; their cover of "Gonna Make You Sweat" is titled "Everybody Dance Now".
