Bedroom Pop

Bedroom pop is soft, home-recorded pop made by solo artists on laptops and cheap gear, usually with a hazy, intimate, lo-fi sound.

The name describes where it is made. Typical tracks have mellow guitars or keyboards, simple drum machine beats, close and often quiet vocals, and a slightly fuzzy finish. The style took shape in the 2010s as artists uploaded songs straight to Bandcamp, SoundCloud and YouTube. It shares the homemade sound of lo-fi indie but leans toward gentle pop and R&B melodies rather than rough rock.

Artists it is known for: Clairo, Cuco, Rex Orange County.
