Musical style

While frequently described as a leading Hyperpop and digicore artist, Ericdoa has said that he is hesitant to place a genre on his music. He stated to Vice Media 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." According to The New Yorker, Ericdoa's musical style might be more accurately described as "hyper-rap".
