She Wants Revenge's music is hard to emcompass into a single genre or sound. It draws inspiration from aformentioned bands and various others including: Bauhaus, Prince, Depeche Mode, New Order, The Cure, My Bloody Valentine, The Sisters of Mercy, and etc. The band blends their influences with ever-present electronics (eg. synths and drum machines) in a style most accurately labeled under the umbrella term, "darkwave", a style of music remniscent of the New Wave and Gothic Rock sounds of the 1980s.
She Wants Revenge have stated that they make "dance music" on numerous occasions setting them aside from the contemporary rock bands often falsely linked with the band in the music press.
