[16] [113] During live performances, McCluskey developed a frenetic dancing style that has been dubbed the "Trainee Teacher Dance"; [114] he explains that it stemmed "from the perception that [OMD] were making boring robotic intellectual music that you couldn't dance to". [115] Journalist Hugo Lindgren noted that the band were perceived as "oddballs, freaks" on the Liverpool scene, [7] while McCluskey has identified himself and Humphreys as "synth punks" and "complete geeks". [116] [117] Gareth Ware of DIY called OMD "one of the guiding lights of British synth-pop... albeit one with a disarming naivety and warm characterful nature at odds with the sleek, chic image cultivated by the likes of [the] Human League and Depeche Mode." [106] Critic Andrew Collins said the group represented a wave of "uncool" pop stars who would eventually "become cool" in the public eye. [23] Sherwin, Adam (16 October 2020).
