Musical style

Yung's musical style has been described as "genre-blending"; on Zombie-Change she rapped "over new wave-derived beats". Later on Gang!, she delivered a performance that was J-pop-esque.
Yung was initially a folk singer, but her musical style eventually gravitated toward punk and rock. She discovered punk through listening to The Ramones. Her early music under her Zombie-Chang moniker was a blend of electro and lo-fi aesthetics. Yung has cited French bands Sexy Sushi, La Femme, and Salut C'est Cool as influences on her work.
Yung has stated that "her albums are full of memories and songs about personal experiences," and her music contains a mix of minimal electronic and live beats. She has experimented in a range of sounds from "ethereal psychedelic indie pop to live band arrangements and heavy dance."
