The music is hilarious and serious, uplifting and chilling, and could be described as hill-billy style Psytrance.

According to Thick, the name ''Texas Faggott'' comes from a "faggott instrument", which they used to sample on some of their tracks, however their Music and bizarre stage performances suggest otherwise. The "faggott instrument" may refer to Bassoon , which is called ''fagotti'' in Finnish .

''Texas Faggott'' are considered by many of their fans to be the 'gods' of Finnish, or Suomi-Style Psytrance ( Suomisaundi ), and all music that has evolved from it. The group has collaborated with the Australian project The Zealator , the Swedish project Logic Bomb , portuguese artist Snikers and the Finnish projects Mac Mavis and Mullet Mohawk . The group has also remixed songs by famous Finnish pop/rock artists, for example Ultra Bra , Kingston Wall , Hidria Spacefolk and Notkea Rotta , and others such as Capella and Eat Static .
