Is Hyperpop The Future Of Pop?

[xyrofen]

Sophie's "Faceshopping" is actually a super interesting track. The part that @Stickfigger linked is really good too; it all feels like these people grew up listening to "the weird electronic shit their friends make fun of," then carved out their niche with the glitch and hardcore they were into along with the irreconcilably catchy pop tracks of the era.

Since this thread is a thing, I feel like I have to bring up Dorian Electra. While I don't like all of their output, the aesthetic is definitely something that's catching. I really like "Career Boy" completely unironically. It's like older powerpop met the current scene. I also think "F the World" from their latest album is a lot of fun, but that's probably only going to appeal to you if you were into any of the -core genres back when. It's all needless edgy, but it knows that and it's kind of the point.

It is funny when you figure out how easy it is to make hyperpop though. It’s just using vocoders on drums and spectral stuff and some nice ableton drum packs particularly from the “glitch and wash” pack which is essentially their hyperpop building blocks. But most people don’t even do side chained resonators on drums, they just use a huge reverb and write vocals about cum dripping into their oat milk cold brew.

I think the electronic dependency gets in the way with a lot of current young songwriters.  Maybe they should put down the computer and focus on composition instead of just putting it all into production.  Electronic music feels really lonely to me, which can be cool when it's meant to be introspective and abstract, but as accompaniment it's awkwardly synthetic and uncanny.  (I've very seldom been able to listen to electronic music this year due to the oppressive isolation already going on.)

Edit: also they need to calm down on the sex stuff

also, lols at that video pointing out "sophie lyrics criticize capitalism" and 30 secs later "has music used in adidas ad and even mcdonald's".  not shaming her.. just saying.. weird think to point out then point to mainstream capitalism success in ads for factory farm diabetes food desert pushers and sweat shops.

Welcome to Gen Z.

it seems that quite often trying to sound futuristic in electronic music ends up just being quite a dated affair. i somehow can't see anyone listening to 100 billion gecs or whatever in like a year. techno has this problem in a major way ofc - last time it was "futuristic" was in 1993.

No matter how sophisticated an artist gets, it's basically still all about sex. The culture of sex; climb the social structure so you can have better sex and more of it. With the current trends, I dare to bet that future artists are going to film porno videos with music instead of music videos. With visible penetration with dongs and fannys, fondling of breasts etc. At first it will be "shocking" but then everyone will do it. This is the kind of animals we are. That's your futurism: the form, not meaning. It's a good thing the universe is as big as it is. We might still enjoy some "privacy of the species".

I make electronic music about waiting until marriage and having one partner for life, living in a modest home in the suburbs, waking up before sunup and making coffee, looking out the east windows and waiting for the red-orange glow.

Im aiming for a mixture of Luddite folkcore and post robloxcore, all gilded with a norm-goth NuSincere aesthetic, with overarching accelerationist objectives.

Classical music.  Messiaen and Obukhov come to mind.

How is most of this any different from Uffie's Pop the Glock (which came out in 2006)?

Also, much like Arca's recent output, I find the Sophie stuff unbearable.

Is Machinedrum hyperpop?

this  is kiddie pop or something. very cute sounding but pretty boring. half this stuff is limpdick versions of Die Antwoord maybe. 

also has a "last  night's party" vibe.

Do you mean Uffie is kiddie pop?

Or this "hyper poop" is kiddie pop?

[drillkicker]

Both

I mean I'll take Uffie and Ed Banger over this any day, but I'm just trying to clarify that this is nothing really new.

I don't recall hearing anything that sounded much like the new Arca or Sophie in the pop world 10 years ago.  But many of the other clips I've checked in this thread do sound like parody of what I've been hearing for a long time... and not like what I associate with either of those artists, so I'm not sure I'm totally clear on what the genre is.

*granted the music tends to come first, with genre tags coming later, so of course it will barely make sense.
