Dope have been described as alternative metal, speed metal, nu metal and industrial metal. Dope's influences include Ministry, Nine Inch Nails, KISS, Guns N' Roses, White Zombie and Mötley Crüe. Dope's lyrics are known for being obscene and aggressive. In a review of Dope's album Felons and Revolutionaries, NME said "In American Pie, a boy puts his cock in an apple pie, to let us know that there's something rotten at the heart of the American Dream. Ex-con brothers Edsel and Simon Dope, though, would probably put someone else's cock in the apple pie, cut it off, lace the pie with strychnine, and serve it up at the Clinton dinner table."
