Formation and Swan Songs (2005–2009)

Musical style and influences
Hollywood Undead's style has been observed as a revival of rap rock[76] and nu metal,[77] styles that had declined prior to the band's formation.[76][77]The Guardian wrote of the band, "These mask-wearing rap-metallers are an industrialboy band, N-Sync meets Nine Inch Nails".[78]The Brag wrote, "Though the rock half of the band sounds pretty pop-punk, their aesthetic and subject matter is straight horrorcore. I tried to sum up their sound to a friend by calling it 'Good Charlotte fronted by Insane Clown Posse' [...] They rap-sing about murder, suicide, the apocalypse and chloroform while wearing masks like hockey-playing killers or Mexican wrestlers."[79]Digital Beat said that the band combined elements of "rock, industrial and rap" as well as EDM.[80] In a 2011 interview, band member Johnny 3 Tears said that he did not consider Hollywood Undead to be a rap rock band, but rather a rock band that was influenced by hip hop.[76] In a 2020 interview, he said that he considers Hollywood Undead to be an industrial hip hop group, describing their sound as "an amalgamation of Nine Inch Nails and the Beastie Boys".[81]
