What is Hyperpop? The genre is tough to put into boxes, being described as sort of a hybrid of pop, dance, and EDM music, taking influences from emo, techno, punk rock, and also hip-hop. Names you’ve probably heard of from the genre are 100 Gecs, Grimes, A.G. Cook, Charli XCX, and Rina Sawayama. The genre’s rise to fame wasn’t so much of a random rise but a subtle one that was always in the background of our generation’s heads. Made primarily for and by the “Internet generation” of Gen Z, Hyperpop established an aesthetic reminiscent of 2000s Tumblr and a sort of glitch-core vibe that they had going on back then.

I am definitely fan of hyperpop — though I think my favorite artist is brakence. His music is not fully hyperpop, but takes my favorite elements of it and combines it with other elements which I really like in music. You should check him out!
