===Musical style===
Describing the album's musical style, ''[[the Quietus]]'' opined "It had to sound passé, it had to be overdone; if you're trying to bulldoze the shiny edifice of western pop culture, you can't do it tastefully or with subtlety, can you? [...] ''Generation Terrorists'' intentionally overplays its hand, overeggs its pudding and spunks its load at every turn".<ref name="The Quietus">{{cite web |url=http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/bolsover/Sean_CDShop_GT_REV.htm |title=Reviews: ''Generation Terrorists'' |last=Ellen |first=Barbara |date=8 February 1992 |website=[[NME]]|access-date=9 January 2013}}</ref> and ''[[Pitchfork (website)|Pitchfork]]'' writer Joe Tangari wrote that ''Generation Terrorists'' "walked a weird line between agit-punk, [[cock rock]], romantic melodicism and glam, and was so obviously patterned after [[the Clash]]'s ''[[London Calling]]'' that it was actually kind of cute."<ref name="Pitchfork"/> Critics have labelled the album as [[glam rock]],<ref name="dowling">{{cite magazine | url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/manic-street-preachers-singer-james-dean-bradfield-returns-to-his-roots-in-east-london-20121107 |title=Manic Street Preachers' James Dean Bradfield Returns to His Roots | magazine=[[Rolling Stone]] | date=7 November 2012 | access-date=20 June 2015 |last=Dowling |first=Stephen}}</ref> [[hard rock]],<ref>{{cite web|last=Erlewine|first=Stephen Thomas|author-link=Stephen Thomas Erlewine |title=''Gold Against the Soul'' – Manic Street Preachers {{!}} Songs, Reviews, Credits, Awards |url=http://www.allmusic.com/album/gold-against-the-soul-mw0000620198 |access-date=31 December 2014 |publisher=[[AllMusic]]}}</ref> [[punk rock]],<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.popmatters.com/review/175574-manic-street-preachers-rewind-the-film/ |title=Manic Street Preachers - Rewind the Film review |website=[[PopMatters]] |date=4 October 2013 |access-date=20 June 2015 |last=Gratt |first=John}}</ref> [[glam punk]]<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.popmatters.com/manic-street-preachers-resistance-futile-2555672983.html | title= 'Resistance Is Futile' Is Manic Street Preachers' Pop Album with Some of Their Most Immediate Songs Ever |last=Carr |first=Paul |date=3 April 2018 |website=[[PopMatters]] |access-date=19 October 2019}}</ref> and [[glam metal]].<ref>{{cite web|first= Kayley |last= Kravitz |title= Archiving Pain: Richey Edwards disappeared 20 years ago, but his genius with the Manics lives on |website= Vanyaland |date= 30 January 2015 |access-date= 19 October 2019 |url=https://vanyaland.com/2015/01/30/lyrical-preacher-richey-edwards-disappeared-20-years-ago-sunday-genius-lives/}}</ref> Other influences on the album's sound include [[Guns N' Roses]] and the [[New York Dolls]].<ref name="dowling"/>
