Musical style.
The band have coined their musical style as "fucksia rock", a combination of electronic, dance and rock genres. The band stated that they coined the term out of disdain of being put into one genre, with Rober Bueno stating in an interview, "we didn't see ourselves pigeonholed into any [genres]... [it] encompasses several styles. We like pop or rock and we express our tastes in our songs. And it has a mix of all that". In another interview, the band described their music as "the perfect mix between the sinister and cotton candy".
