Hyperpop
Hyperpop is an exaggerated, internet-born style of pop that pushes catchy melodies, pitched-up vocals and distorted electronic production to extremes.
Tracks are fast, loud and crowded: heavily Auto-Tuned or sped-up voices, blown-out bass, bright synths and sudden switches between styles such as trance, emo, rap and bubblegum pop. It grew in the early 2010s out of the London label PC Music and the producer SOPHIE, and the word became common after Spotify launched a playlist called hyperpop in 2019. It differs from ordinary electropop by treating pop's cliches as something to stretch until they almost break.
Artists it is known for: 100 gecs, Charli XCX, SOPHIE, A. G. Cook.
