Electropop
Electropop is pop music made mostly with synthesizers, drum machines and other electronic sounds.
Songs keep pop's verses and choruses but replace guitars and live drums with programmed beats, synth bass and processed vocals. The style began as a harder, more electronic branch of synth-pop in the early 1980s and came back strongly in the late 2000s, when it filled the charts. Compared with classic synth-pop it tends to sound harder, and compared with dance pop it leans more on the electronic texture itself.
Artists it is known for: Lady Gaga, Robyn, Charli XCX.
