Party Banana/Musa a bromeliad, right?

I have scoured the net and can't find an answer to this...Musa is technically a bromeliad, isn't it? Could the ones who know elaborate botanically for me, I'd really like to know the scientific explanation if possible. Thanks fellow banana
enthusiasts!

Of course, pineapples are bromeliads!

By the way, your avatar is hilarious
