The style of black tape for a blue girl is generally described as "gothic", though their long catalog of music does not often gel with all of the contemporary standards of gothic or darkwave music over time. Much of the lyric writing is done by Rosenthal himself and often explores powerful emotions of love, vulnerability, isolation, loss, jealousy, and passion.
