Hello friends! I am on a mission to connect with people on Lemmy who love hyperpop and PC music. Can anyone point me toward decorated communities for this? I hope this is the right place to ask. Thanks!
I literally discovered 100 gecs a few days ago and I’m hooked!
No, but I found this thread! Who are your favorite hyper pop artists right now?
Well, to be honest, my definition of hyperpop is pretty loose. As far as the typical sugary and synth-laden goes: Slayyyter, Charli XCX, Ayesha Erotica, etc. If you’re wiling to accept hip-hop leaning tracks, XIX. And for alt-rock-ish hyperpop, Dynastic.
Excuse me for being a dope, but what is hyperpop exactly? I’ve never heard of it.
It’s fairly loosely defined, but it’s best known for harsh instrumentals, heavy autotune, and intense compression. It’s sort of a meta-genre which exaggerates certain aspects of popular music. At least in my experience, it is very popular with queer people, and there is a lot of remarkable hyperpop from LGBT+ (especially trans) artists. That being said, it is certainly not limited to that demographic. There is a fair amount of hyperpop that breaches hard rock, hip-hop, and even country.
I dont know specific hyperpop artists, but i do have some songs loadedx like I Spy and Ethereal Sakura. A follow up question/ : do you like other internet music like nightcore?
Personally, no. I think nightcore and slowed-with-reverb “mixes” are cheap bastardizations of the original piece of art; typically cranked out by tweens who just got their hands on Audacity. Or maybe I’m just an asshole 😂
Lol, you’re not, I can understand that. I like them because of the vibes, and the “night” energy that you have to get just right, otherwise it’s a random song.
Everyone likes what they like! Honestly, I am nobody to judge, since some of the hyperpop I love the most sounds like an autotuned car accident lol
