Musical style

While frequently described as a leading Hyperpop and digicore artist,[4] Ericdoa has said that he is hesitant to place a genre on his music. He stated to VICE that “I think for people who aren’t very well-versed in music it’s just a cushion to fall back on ... Instead of genre-less music, they have something to call it.”[15]
