Go read this piece about why you may be seeing a lot of city pop in your feeds Bijan Stephen © Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge City pop is a genre defined by nostalgia.

Yesterday, Zhang published an elegant capsule history of the genre in Pitchfork, which also explains why the music is surging in popularity in the US. Naturally, it started in Japan. “The upswing of city pop likely originates with the Japanese themselves: a few decades ago, domestic crate diggers started critically reevaluating vintage Japanese music, or wamono,” Zhang writes. Then, some decades later, it hit Western ears.
