== History == Founding members Zac Carper and Elvis Kuehn met while working at a recording studio in which Carper was employed as an engineer and Kuehn was an intern.

== Musical style and influences == According to Jason Lymangrover of AllMusic, FIDLAR's music incorporates elements of "classic" skate punk, thrash metal, and "surfy" lo-fi indie rock. The instrumentation is described as "punchy, fast, loud." The band's influences include the Offspring and blink-182.<ref>{{Cite web |title=FIDLAR Songs, Albums, Reviews, Bio & More {{!}} Al... |url=https://www.allmusic.com/artist/fidlar-mn0002674457#biography |access-date=2024-12-21 |website=AllMusic |language=en}}</ref> The band's first studio album contains "slacker subject matter" pertaining to topics such as substance abuse, surfing and skateboarding. ''Yardbarker'' stated that "the band paid homage to the pillars of rock ‘n’ roll: hedonism, drugs, and booze." Stylistically, the album has drawn comparisons to Angry Samoans, Fear, Surf Punks, the Ramones and Circle Jerks. The band's music has been categorized as pop-punk.<ref>{{Citation |title=FIDLAR - FIDLAR {{!}} Album {{!}} AllMusic |url=https://www.allmusic.com/album/fidlar-mw0002450831 |access-date=2024-12-21 |language=en}}</ref><ref name=":0" />
