Roar writer Elena Veris Reynolds discusses hyperpop and shares five essential listens of the genre.
What is ‘hyperpop’? The term is incredibly disputed, considering its short and relatively underground history so far. Described as “a genre tag for genre-less music” by Vice, the label has come to mean any alternative, experimental and primarily electronic pop music. Pioneers of experimental pop works like the PC music collective, producer SOPHIE and electronic duo 100 gecs have been major influences and pioneers of this kind of music, but this year the genre has really taken off and developed a large group of diverse artists.
