Musical style
Beauteous, Not Studious possess a sound that, while grounded in metalcore (a portmanteau of "metal" and "hardcore"), includes characteristics of funk and alternative music. Many of their songs feature a mixture of both screamed and sung vocals, bass slapping, and choruses that were written for the sole purpose of "singing along like a madman". Although rare, rap-centric vocals will be brought in regarding the more heavier material, which are usually heard in the background. Sampling and keyboards often play an important part in the band's music, with audio clips taken from various Japanese anime and American independent films; these usually play during the very beginning or end of a song, and last for about 5-to-10 seconds.
