Style and themes

In an interview with Revolver magazine, Stephenson defined Machine Girl as "fucked-up electronic punk" and stated that they didn't like the "industrial" tag for being "very goth, and very black and white" considering the project "a lot more colorful".[7] Kerrang! listed them as one of the "bands expanding the definition of hardcore", and described the project as "a particularly punky and ferocious breed of the electronic sub-genre breakcore that could easily pass for hardcore when they rip it live".[8] Pitchfork defined their style as "relentlessly smashing together bits of punk, grindcore, rave, industrial, and more" and "unpredictable and dangerous, full of animalistic rage and uncontrollable energy".[9]

The project is named after the 2008 Japanese film The Machine Girl.[7]
