Bubba Love is an allegedly mature professional and family man living in Maine, who uses a computer to make music since computers are (almost) always available, play what he tells them to, and don't have personal problems (e.g. girlfriends, drugs) like bandmates do. Bubba draws on numerous influences in his decades of music experience, including punk, new wave, alternative, electronica, and prog-rock, although it always seems to come out pop in the end. He believes that a computer can be just as personal an instrument as an acoustic guitar, but it's a lot more fun and versatile. He is trying to make pertinent technopop that is entertaining but smart, with lyrics that have some relevance to his own age group, instead of retreading adolescent subject matter. However he can't stand wimpy, mopey grown-up music about supposedly mature themes--to quote Bubba himself, "'Cat's in the Cradle' my ass! I used to be in The Hates, dammit!!"
