Is HYPERPOP The Future of Pop? | Mic The Snare

Very well put together

never met by cmten probably fits in this category oh-

i hope not bc it will lose its charm if it becomes mainstream

also the definition of it is massively overgeneralized in this vid so yeah its a lot more than what its said to be

Soulja Boy.

This is basically EDM with extra steps

Hi mic, would you mind adding a recommended listening section to your descriptions?

Also – because I don't really have the spare energy to form a coherent narrative – a few notes:

(0) I mean isn't everything pop nowadays? It seems there no longer is a really coherent pop sound, instead pop today seems more like an ever expanding tapestry of a variety of genre-elements. Rock, Hip Hop, Techno, Dubsteb, Trap (and many more) are still there, they just became elements used in highly produced pop. I don't dislike this development; maybe it would be better to think of genres es sort of epochs instead of as distinct sounds.

(1) This seems to all tie in with with kind of a rise of minority representation on the internet. More then in the past there is increasingly a way for genre-musicians to rise to fame outside the constraints of industrial (in the big-corp sense not the genre) pop. Hyperpop seems kind of funny in that regard, because it actually borrows from pop so it's very meta.

(2) I don't think there is a clear line between satirical music and serious music. Sparks and Knorkator (German band, worth to check out, maybe with translations of the lyrics) immediately come to mind. Zappa too. In fact, since hyperpop ties in with queer culture: Satire is a big part of drag. I think this is a false dichotomy. You can be satirical, emotional all at the same time; in the end satire is just a performance in which the performers are aware of and perform their performance (in a 4th wall break-y way).

(3) Queerness. We had this once before. Remember Hair rock? 70es? And then aids happened. And then there where few queer people left. This is around 25-30 years post-aids. And now we also have the internet. And we now have the internet.

Yeah, lost me at trans and nonbinary stuff

Was Fancy by Iggy Azalea Hyperpop is a legitimate question

Dude can you do music that defined the 2000's please?

And Charlie XCX used to be known as KingCharlz via the Witchouse scene

1:38 nice Bo Burnham reference.

There could not be any hyperpop whatsoever if it hadn't been for Björk! Björk was one of the very first artists back in the 90's experimenting with these kinds of beats. Charli XCX has expressed being heavily influenced by her.
