They debuted with their first EP Trespass on May 14, 2015. In March 2017, Monsta X released their first studio album and final part of The Clan series The Clan Pt. 2.5: The Final Chapter. Since 2018, the group had four Japanese singles certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of Japan, while since 2019, ten of their Korean albums and extended plays had been certified platinum by the Korea Music Content Association. In 2020, the group's first English album All About Luv placed number five on the US Billboard 200 and number seven on the US Rolling Stone Top 200. Since debut, they had been known for their aggressive style, combining elements of hip hop, EDM and pop. This aggressive style with "tracks centred around loud, clattering, electronic instrumentals, vicious rap verses, and striking vocals" had also been influential across the fourth generation of K-pop, and being credited in breaking gender norms before it was a trend. Since then, Monsta X had been called the "Next Generation Beast Idol".
