Agoraphobic Nosebleed's music is often described as cybergrind, i.e. grindcore utilizing drum machines and other electronic sounds. The use of drum machines has enabled the band to play songs with tempos of thousands of BPM. The lyrics usually revolve around very politically incorrect subjects, such as drugs and violence.
