* ACappella: A few tracks have Jeff singing without an instrumental for a few seconds, including "Sort of Like Being Pumped" and "Everybody That You Love."

* IAmTheBand: Jeff, who writes all the songs and, for the first two or three albums, played all the instruments.

* NeoclassicalPunkZydecoRockabilly: They started out as a ska-punk band with an indie rock influence and heavy use of synthesizers and Music/{{Chiptune}} elements, but the indie part of them slowly became more and more pronounced, while the ska part faded.

In 2004, Jeff Rosenstock was faced with a conundrum. He wanted to record a song, but his band, The Arrogant Sons Of Bitches, was taking a break. He eventually used his laptop to record it in the bedroom of his parents' house, uploaded it to the internet, and credited to Bomb the Music Industry!. After TASOB broke up, Bomb the Music Industry! became Jeff's main musical focus.

By 2008, BtMI! had become more of a musical collective, featuring a slightly different lineup for every song on ''Scrambles''. Over the next three years, the collective trimmed itself down to five more-or-less consistent members with a lot of guests. However, it would only last for two more years, and Bomb the Music Industry! called an indefinite hiatus after their final show on January 19th, 2014.
