Their music is rock-pop sounding, with synthesizers and a few experimental elements in it as well. Songs generally contain lyrics about the standard sex, drugs and rock and roll aspect that has prevailed in rock music over the ages, but they also satirize politics on occasion, if just a lyric or two in the song (see "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZgglOKNl-g Stoned]]," which pokes fun at then-President Creator/BillClinton's claims that he "did not inhale" marijuana).
