Gathering the techno-culture elements of Turkish immigrants, YK formed his own music. Arabesk, rap and techno can be considered as main noticable elements of YK's sound. These are used to be the main trends of respectively the first, the second and the third generation living in Germany. Also rock and turkish folk music are found in some of the YK's songs like "Allah Belanı Versin" (Eng: God Damn You). It can be heard a zilgit (a scream/severe tongue-lashing used in folk music) behind a guitar solo.
Modernist sides reacted to YK after "Şappur Şuppur" was released sensationally in Turkey. They blamed YK being a post-modernist. YK answered to the rumours claiming that his music is not art politically, saying "I lost one of my gloves.".(He usually wears only one glove)
Fusion of various types of music which are symbols of generation conflict created YK's music. On the other hand, generation conflict is a theme in YK's songs. In "Şappur Şuppur", he tells us a tragedy about a horny teenager shot from home since he went to a bar hoping to get laid. Now YK breathes influence on all Turkish musicians living in Germany.
His hit Bombabomba.com is one of the primary songs about internet and tells us a tale about a horny teenager's excitement in a coupling website.
Ceviz

Karsimdakine bak gecmis oynuyor
Aklima takildi girmis cikmiyor
Oglum söyle bana,
Bana neler oluyor
Tam on ikiden vuruyor
Vuruyor beni, yakiyor beni
Anlattigin bu mu? -
Ooo ooo bir kirabilsem
Su cevizi ooo ooo
Dedigin gibi cok zor biri
Ooo ooo lastik gibi oynatiyor beni
Ooo ooo bana inat
Ahh yapilirmi bana inat
Ahh yapilirmi bana inat,
Bana inat, bana inat, ahh yapma

Karsimdakine bak gecmis oynuyor
I see my past playing in front of me
Aklima takildi girmis cikmiyor
It got stuck in my head and won't leave
Oglum söyle bana, Bana neler oluyor
Son, tell me what is happening to me
Tam on ikiden vuruyor
It hits me exactly at thirteen
Vuruyor beni, yakiyor beni
It hits and burns me
Anlattigin bu mu? - Yutuyor beni
Is this what you talked about? It's swallowing me
Ooo ooo bir kirabilsem
Oh if only I could break free
Su cevizi ooo ooo
This walnut, oh oh
Dedigin gibi cok zor biri
Like you said, it's a very hard one
Ooo ooo lastik gibi oynatiyor beni
Oh oh, it's bouncing me like a rubber band
Ooo ooo bana inat
Oh oh, out of spite
Ahh yapilirmi bana inat
Oh, can you do this out of spite to me?
Ahh yapilirmi bana inat, Bana inat, bana inat, ahh yapma
