Musical style The Presidents of the United States of America have been most frequently described as alternative rock, and pop-punk. They have also been described as post-grunge. Although they have been fairly consistently labelled as grunge by the media, The New York Times at the time of their debut in 1995, considered them "an antidote to the misery and self-absorption of grunge". The Washington Post claimed that the band, "without a hint of angst", "have revived the pleasures of pure pop."
