- Take the 2023 PBS Survey: to.pbs.org/pbssurvey2023edition
After coining the term in 2019, Spotify left many of us wondering, "What is hyperpop?"
What started as a way to categorize "genre-less" music quickly evolved into a music phenomenon that has allowed artists to freely express themselves through sound.
Our hosts Linda Diaz and Arthur Buckner talk to artists, Midwxst and Zhone to learn more about the genre’s influences and history.

I saw the bucket drums in the corner so I was like “ah a music teacher” then it was validated when I saw the classroom.
“You have the possibility with electronic music to generate any texture, in theory, and any sounds.” - Sophie
Sophie was the greatest gift to music
this may sound like hyperbole, but it is scientifically accurate
One of my favourites she said which I think was in the same interview "a piano as big as a mountain, what would that sound like."
i miss her
i love her so much
I feel like hyperpop is also an opportunity for 2000's kids to "take revenge" by embracing what would be considered "cringe" by a lot of people, like nightcore, dubstep, anime aesthetic, etc.
Thats exactly how I feel about this. This is why I love Hyperpop so much because it feels like the Y2K Era turned up to 11
This is such a frightening thought. It is scary to think that everything that is now considered tacky or bad can become accepted in the future, just because a generation grew up with it.
Yesssss
@@SchlegelSchlingel yeah a lot of stuff from the 90s that were not considered cool or just were is being used as cool trendy stuff now. So crazy. We wore baggy band t-shirts because they didn't sell anything else, not bc we were trying to look cool. lol
I think if a person is not open-minded about music, are they really INTO music? The more music and genres you listen to, the more open-minded you become about other experimental genres. I don't like 100 gecs but I love Charli XCX!
I don't think hyperpop will go mainstream, but it's influence wil seep into what is mainstream (like dubstep in the 2010's)
Look at yeat, Ken Carson, it’s already happening bro.
Idk if Kpop counts as mainstream (at least in the US), but the song Savage by Aespa is a good example. It's not quite hyperpop, but you can definitely hear the influence.
@@2m7b5 I think Stay by Kid Laroi is hyperpop lite
like vaporwave
@@2m7b5 YES
I wouldn't say pop evolved into hyperpop... hyperpop evolved from pop. It's not like the people who are producing the top 40 pop hits are the ones who innovated that sound.
@Tack Draas I would say, it came more from trap, Dubstep, Hardtrap, Glitchhop, nightcore and Rawstyle
Everything is connected.
@@DR-nh6oo fr all this useless argument in the comments 😂😂😂
To me pop is a pretty whitewashing term. Hyperpop is as underground/eclectic of a sound as you can get.
@@Moshington would it be better to shun the word pop to describe it all? Would we just call Hypermusic, Hypersong, or just Hyper?
As a person who was really into nightcore in middle school, the rise of Hyperpop as the sound of my 20s is so cool.
That nightcore bit brought some nostalgia not gonna lie ahaha
My youngest siblings both listened to quite a lot of nightcore - I think my brother still does, though he and I don't talk about pop music much. (We nerd out about Final Fantasy soundtracks together though!) I was already in college by the time they were getting into that genre and I remember being fascinated by the interpretations of existing songs. And, if I'm gonna be honest, a little put off by the chipmunk pitch of the vocals, but that was purely a personal thing and I still thought the music was interesting. I am maybe getting a little old, and struggling to keep up with the newest things, these days. But even if I might not listen to this type of music myself, I will certainly tell other folks about it!
HARD AGREE
We had "nightcore" already in the 90's. We called it happy hardcore, or just hardcore. What's the difference? The example track in the video was in no way different from the records we had back in the day. Is the distinction that the song has to be in video form with anime art?
@@NonEuclideanTacoCannon they're similar but nightcore was usually remixes and is heavily associated with anime. They just describe different cultural phenomena, not necessarily sounds
Sophie's death is probably one of the worst loses to music in the 21st century. I was really just into PC Music for a year or so back in the day, but it's obvious to me how much talent and innovation she had left.
I liked her music, especially Faceshopping, but let's not pretend this was the death of John Lennon. She was just a solid artist who tragically passed away too soon. I don't know if it makes sense to overrate her just because of that sad and tragic death.
JK john lennon dying wasn’t a loss
@@DragonsFrogs She was solid TO YOU. There are people who are inspired by her and there are people who are going to be inspired by her. Don't be disrespectful pls.
@@DragonsFrogs yeaa quiet your point is null and irrelevant
@@DragonsFrogs ...why are you even bothering to make this comparassion?
Mad respect to Sound Field and PBS for archiving these trends in musical history--they are certainly more than footnotes!
RIP to the beautiful, talented, genius Sophie. My heart breaks every time I think about how untimely and violent her death was. It's not fair.
"Vroom Vroom" is a MASTERPIECE. I am a straight male and I SCREAM the lyrics to that song and blast it at full volume when I drive. Charli's direction since Vroom Vroom has been INCREDIBLE. 𝘊𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘭𝘪 and 𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘐'𝘮 𝘍𝘦𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘕𝘰𝘸 are both classic albums.
cute sexy and my ride sporty
It’s not bad, but it doesn’t hit as hard as some other Hyperpop songs.
@@leaveitorsinkit242 I disagree, i think it hits pretty fucking hard. Especially for such a poppy song
@@SoundFieldPBS whoever manages your youtube comments is so smart and beautiful
@@leaveitorsinkit242 I don't even think it's hyperpop, I'd call the whole EP experimental pop personally. How I'm feeling now is hyperpop.
I've listened to hyperpop for a long time without knowing it's hyperpop until watching this video. One thing that definitely stands out for me is the focus on sound "TEXTURE" in the sound design besides having a catchy melody and female vocals. Also wondering if Nahre Sol is still part of the team?
Yeah one thing I’ve always notice is that in contrast to most other movements, the focus here tends to be on unique sound design and production rather than melodic/harmonic composition. It makes for some really interesting new things.
Female vocals is huuuge omg
I think the term "hyperpop" being used as a genre is almost a mistake. As you mentioned in the video, hyperpop is really just the result of bedroom producers combining their wide variety of influences and just making music. Musicians now have more influences across a wider range of genres than ever before due to streaming, social media, etc. This essentially fostered a space in which people could create any kind of crazy experimental music pulling influences from literally anything. In a way, "hyperpop" is just a term used to try and squish all of this music into a genre or category, when in reality, it almost ascends genre. I guess that's why it's called hyper-pop. It's an exaggerated combination of today's popular music into something completely new.
Also thank you for mentioning Kane West! His contributions to the hyperpop scene often go under the radar. His work as a producer for Kero Kero Bonito along with Jamie Bulled were a huge part of the PC Music scene that many fail to recognize.
Totally right, that's what many people don't understand. It doesn't need to be "pop". It's the result of a generation that is growing up with all the existing music at their hands. It's a massive mix of countless musical influences from different periods.
@@Sal_ no, its clearly 2000s pop mixed with electronic. the ones complicating it r those trappers that took the label without recognizing its roots
I think about it in the same way I think of postpunk (or other post- tags). It's not really about punk, it's an umbrella term about everything that came after it, even if it was a rebound or the connection was tenuous.
I love your dives into various styles of music because it shows respect to types of music that get quickly dismissed because it’s too “out there”. There’s a genuine appreciation on this channel for music of all types and the work that goes into making it. Thank you for being a channel so open minded and appreciative of all music, as someone with an extremely eclectic taste, this is what I want to see more of.
Exactly, thats one of the reasons I like their videos so much
sophie was an icon. that's why she's the face of the genre. she literally pioneered it !!!
i cant believe how much sophie has done for the genre and i never knew she was behind charlis vroom vroom, she literally shifted charlis musical career. its good to see a legend be given her roses
Midwxst said it right - "hyperpop" was thrown on artists which aren't exactly "hyperpop", but I guess its all good as long as artists get discovered more
I feel bad for our community.
Like i wouldnt compare osquinn saturn midwxst any of them to the other artist they shown as if they originated the sound
This newer sound was literally made by us speeding our songs and trying new shit
We made an entire new genre/subgenre and was thrown into a box with other artists
They didnt even mention slow silver 03
Glaive, kurtains, lieu, the evolution of robloxcore/early glitch era
They are 2 separate things and it really doesnt show enough credit to these artists who really did come up from nothing
@@Nobody-ss7ks Hyperpop is more first of a community than as a subgenre so anybody affiliated with the community automatically gets the "Hyperpop artist" label slapped on them
all those soundcloud rappers. idk how they got the label because the music barely resembles sophie/ag/slayyyter/charlietc
I've always thought Gaga and her producers brought a bit of hyperpop on her 2013 album ARTPOP. The songs structure and crystal-metalic like sounds have definitely hyperpop roots to it.
will listen to it. Back in the 2000's, I remember thinking a similar think about J-Pop. The hyperproduced textures of it.
I think the post-pc music/SOPHIE/drain gang wave can be mostly subcategorized in either bubblegum bass, hyperpop and digicore. once you have listened to it a while you start to understand where most songs fall
RIP Sophie Xeon. She will live on through her music forever.
hyperpop is my element🙏🏼
Love these dives into stuff I really don't understand at first and adore at the end. My musical journey paused a few years back with trap and dubstep and now continues
Skrillex and Sophie were the only electronic artists Ive heard in my lifetime that brought completely new unqiue sounds into the wolrd music that we couldn't even imagine them working in the context of music.
Even after her eeath I haven't heard any other artist to make jaw dropping tracks such as faceshopping and her early product ep.
Neither brought completely new unique sounds to the world of music. Most of Sophie's sound is indebted to grime, 'Ponyboy' sounds like Milanese's 'Mr. Bad News' from his 2006 album, Extend. Complete with the dramatic rising high-pitched stabs. When 'Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites' came out, it was just the latest iteration of the sound that was popularized earlier by Circus Records, like 'Sweet Shop' by Doctor P.
omg I've been a hyperpop DIEHARD since it was called PC MUSIC it is SO odd to hear PBS talk about this
pc music is a record label, not a former term for the scene/genre umbrella dubbed hyperpop, but yeah it’s really weird to hear about it in a PBS bit.
@@oglost9824 if u were there u would know is was called pc anyway
If hyperpop has to really be pop, then that's definitely Charli XCX, Kim Petras, Slayyter, and Ayesha Erotica
Dorian Electra, Rebecca Black, 100 gecs too
@@istymix not quite pop, maybe rebecca, but gecs and dorian are quite experimental
I listen to a lot of Kawaii Future Bass -- Snail's House and such. It's interesting how similar it is to Hyperpop in some respects! The same attention to timbre, the alternation between crystalline cutesy sounds and nasty aggressive distorted ones, all at a pretty fast tempo.
Yesss! Snails house is brilliant. Future funk+bass is fun and and palatable, and a great gateway into pcmusic IMO
There are a lot of producers that make future bass that are part of the “hyperpop” community. You should check out Kosu. he’s insane and can do pretty much any electronic genre
When Charlie xcx tweeted "what is hyper pop" I think she was making fun of the genre name and also distancing herself from it. I 100% think she'd call herself a pop artist and not a "hyper pop artist". It's annoying how people want to compartmentalise every little change in music and call it a new thing imo
I think you can pin part of that on the existence OF genre in the first place in music. We kinda live in a post-genre world where now musicians are free to experiment sonicly which has led to seemingly a new genre being born every day. It might be time to retire genre as a whole.
@@SeanStrife Yeh I see what you're saying! I think genre can be useful. Subgenres are where it gets a little ridiculous particularly in electronic music where a change in BPM somehow warrants a new genre title.
I remember the day Sophie’s “Oil” was released. I think I cried from how emotional it made me. Up until that point, a space hadn’t existed for this kind of music: at the intersection of pop and electronic, with the intensity and grandiosity of heavy metal. I remember hearing “Vroom Vroom” when it was released. You could just feel how singular, how “beyond” the song was.
There is something so authentic behind the impossibly glossy production and the synthesized motifs driving PC Music. Sophie’s whole persona made me feel less alone, and far more understood than almost any other kind of media I found in my early 20’s.
10:05 “I was admiring the way that these hyperpop artists are using production to express their emotion” … welcome to the world of electronic music girl 😭🤚
You know what I’d like to see Sound Field do a deep dive on? The underground London jazz scene (as exemplified on the Spotify Jazz UK playlist): Alfa Mist, Nubya Garcia, Yussef Dayes, Kamaal Williams, Mansur Brown, Moses Boyd, Binker Golding, Ezra Collective, KOKOROKO, Tom Misch, Oscar Jerome, etc. It’s a pretty unique movement based on a blend of jazz, afrobeat, broken beat, dub, electronica, etc. Check it out!
Underground? Why's it underground?
@@Tu51ndBl4d3 Unclench your cheeks. It’s just an expression that means “outside the mainstream”.
Definitely one of the best scenes rn
seeing PBS talking about hyperpop is surreal
Not sure if this is possible but it would be so cool if you guys could make a Spotify playlist of all the artist you guys mention for each video so we get to experience the genres or topics you guys cover deeper 👀 And maybe you could include the track you guys make at the end bc they always slap ‼️
Great video as always!
here ya go! open.spotify.com/playlist/4Y2ZH0C5yavkQWQ6kLDuzj
@@SoundFieldPBS thank you guys!!!!
I wish I could clearly say what Sound Field means to me. I mean, there are very few channels whose content I postpone watching until I'm in a good place, at peace, rested, ready to be open to something special. Sound Field and maybe Nerdwriter are that kind of channel for me, never to be used to destress at the end of a hard day, or to fill dead time when I'm bored, or to change my mood. Sound Field invites me to be fully present for what's to come.
However, Sound Field is more. Sound Field is the one and only channel that has had me crying for joy after engaging me in a genuine experience. The Ballroom episode was the first to have that effect on me in a massive way and is the episode I rewatch most. A people, a place, a history, a music. Sound Field brings it all together, then opens the door and pulls me inside. Every single episode does this for me to some extent, and I'm awed by how it can happen in the first place and then repeatedly.
Thanks to everyone involved in making Sound Field the magnificent beast it is. Keep up the great work - I'll be watching!
I especially love getting the insider info you can't get from a wikipedia search, this is great ty
awesome track! love these deep dives you guys do, they always feel super respectful and they always make me wanna get into the genre
I was expecting this topic from you guys.
Love this channel💙😍🙏
I like the track you two made! And great video 😀
hell yeah glad you like it sunbird falls music
Great video!! Beautiful by AG Cook is such a great track... It's what got me into that type of music! And SOPHIE'S work is so special I am so grateful she shared it with the world. I think i'll be like 70 yrs old still blasting her music
I love hyper pop, experimentation, jazz and it’s cyber elements-as someone who makes all their own beats as a rookie I appreciate this video. Much love.
Damn yalls videos always make my day betterr
Great episode =) enjoyed it a lot!!
Very informative and well produced video. More, please!!!
Great video!
Linda! 💕 How am I just now learning about Sound Field?! Such a great concept. PBS always winning 💕💕
this is so different from many other videos that i have watched. the story is still so fresh that it is super interesting to see how the music will keep on evolving in the future!
Love this channel!
Great video, liked and subbed.
Amazingly done ✨👌🏾
dope song! love the new co-host as well.
having a talented vocalist like Linda is huge for us!
This is a really good piece with a few mistakes here and there, but nothing that would misinform someone looking to see the scene's origins, but I wish this video essay touched more on the underground and the new sounds that are emerging on the scene!
“There it go” This was great thank you
The video is great as usual, and the song slaps
Keep it up 😁❤
The thing I love About Hyperpop that it's like the Gen Zers depiction of the Y2K Era Pop Music that spanned from 96-2004 and the MC Bling Era in the Mid 2000s and of course the Nightcore Era we all grew up with in the late 2000s early 2010s all smashed together in this futuristic sound
another thing I dont think many people noticed that kinda came out of this Hyperpop boom is the Re Rise of Scenecore and Happy Hardcore music which was a big thing in the mid to late 2000s also.
OMG LINDA DIAZZZZZZZ !!!!!!! im in love w/ u and ur art ~~~ a welcome addition to the soundfield family
I love this. Hyperpop is such a glorious mutant, exploding and recombining all the pieces of pop and electronic into something unique and cool. Every time somebody says "pop music has gotten so boring," I know they only ever listen to top 40 on the radio, because artists like the ones you featured are anything but boring.
One artist I'd recommend is Trust Fund Ozu, who knocked out an amazing track as part of an Adam Neely challenge video: ua-cam.com/video/0re4aF2MQ0g/v-deo.html
and they are right. pop music is supposed to be popular. we would've wanted to see gaga performing sophie produced chromatica tracks on award shows and topping the charts. instead we get these marie, zara ava types. not to mention they dont even chart because hiphop still has the hold. so yes pop music is boring
Everytime new topic
Loved it guys
Hell yeah thank you !
This is a great series.
The like Nightcore and more fringe trends in MySpace music were around when I was in highschool and tbh I wasn't really a fan of Nightcore, Crunk-Core and other stuff that fit in that general scene of the time. But for whatever reason in my late 20's and now early 30's the way Hyper-Pop clearly builds off of those sounds really appeals to me.
It's interesting to say the least to see things that were a bit fringe from over a decade ago grow and change in the ways they have.
Interesting video! Tryna make hyperpop dnb rn
As a hobbyist producer, making music is more accessible than ever. All genres update and evolve over time, by taking reference from the past and morphing with the new tools. Although hyper pop is not my desired genre, i can appreciate the concept behind it, as it reflects the new accessible ways of making music digitally through vsts, iPads, and iPhones. Anyway love pbs! What you guys are doing over at the mission district building in Sf is amazing.
Great Video.Thanks for making this. From night core to hyper pop. I just found out about digicore, (thanks for that) Now I have more music to listen to. I love how deep it gets and I loved what that one dude had to say about hyper pop not being pop at all. Its a hyper electronic, DnB etc. love this genre.
I really love that this is becoming more than a subgenre, and appreciate this video for getting it pretty right. One thing I’d say wasn’t mentioned was the reason many people of marginalized communities felt right at home with this genre is you can take all the qualities of yourself and the things you love, and intensify them to absolutely ridiculous proportions. Like how Arca who isn’t even a hyperpop artist but gets thrown in there alot for her interesting take on reggaeton and ambience is able to take her transness to higher levels. Or artists like That Kid, Laura Les, Fraxiom, Dorian Electra can make transparent and bold statements regarding their identity in their music.
This might sound blasphemous to some, but 2020 and the lockdown was one of the best things to happen for hyperpop. Huge rise in quality and a lot of songs which I don't see materializing otherwise (Global Warning by Luvox being one example).
I was happy to see the notification pop up in my feed! Ik Charli said Crash will not be as hyperpop-y as her last albums, but I'm still really excited to hear it.
excited to see how much growth hyperpop is gonna hav in the next couple years
This is pretty cool to see
If nightcore is considered the origin, then I created it in the early 90s when I used to play dub versions of old 33 rpm pop, house, freestyle and dance singles on 45 rpm. 😂 I suggest you try it out!
Loved this episode. Hope L.A, Linda and Nahre can all collab on video soon 😁
Lovin this video
I love this channel. 💖💖💖💖 RIP Sophie.
It's so cool to see how far Blackwinterwells has come. Been into their stuff for years before they started that alias and it's awesome they're getting the attention they deserve.
Amazing

I love using the Sound Field PBS lesson plans with my students but they only covered Season 1. Why is this? I'd love to see more as they make a great "break" or "substitute" lesson to share with my History of Rock classes. Plus, they're just fun!!! MORE LESSON PLANS PLEASE!
Well, this certainly explains where all this "Chipmunk vocal" music, that I've noticed is deluging the internet over the past few years, is coming from. I never even knew what this music was. I just always called it "Chipmunk Eurobeat". I've made industrial music since the 80's and work with synthesizer stuff all the time, and this genera of electronic music just... eluded/and annoyed me. As an artist who works with noise and difficult listening stuff all the time, I found this "Chupmunk" music REALLY challenging for me. Now I finally have a name to put to what I'm hearing.
If you can get past the vocals I would recommend 100 Gecs, they are probably the most popular band in the genre and do some really fun and interesting stuff by manipulating sounds and combining genres in unconventional ways. If you can't get past the vocals I would suggest A.G. Cook and ESPECIALLY SOPHIE, they helped define the genre and SOPHIE was one of the most creative electronic producers of the last 20 years. I'd love it if you listened to "MSMSMSM" by SOPHIE and told me what you thought. I think it'd be the best entry point for you if you are an industrial music fan.
It’s interesting how truly subjective music sound is. Older noise music and hard listening electronic genres I can barely listen to for 10 seconds, but since I grew up with nightcore and the precursors to hyperpop this sound is one of the easiest and most enjoyable things for me to listen to.
I think the “chipmunk” vocals have come and gone in a lot of electronic music subgenres over the years: early rave, some drum & bass and big beat, post-dubstep like Burial etc. You could even go back to very early electronic music such as Joe Meek’s “I hear a new world”. Originally it was a side effect of the limitations of tape manipulation and early samplers: if you needed to speed up a sample to match a beat, it had to go up in pitch and timbre. Now that’s not really required, but I feel that hyperpop really leans into it because it’s both abrasive and aggressively silly. Producers like SOPHIE have been hugely influenced by very serious “IDM” producers like Autechre, but they turn that into hyperpop by turning up the “pop” dial to 11. Unapologetically cheesy saccharine melodies, used unironically and combined with helium vocal snippets, lush arpeggios, industrial distortion and tricky rhythms makes it a genre that could annoy both mainstream pop audiences AND po-faced IDM nerds at the same time. This of course made it a perfect genre to go viral and invent the future of pop!
When I was a teenager I absolutely loved to alter the pitch of all the music I listened to up to chipmunks levels... Didn't really know it had a name until now.
Isn't it just new wave happy hardcore. Lol
Omg Sound field, Hyperpop AND Sophie. 3 of my favorite things! I can't describe how excited I am about this.
I enjoy seeing so many genres branch off, mash up and branch off over and over again .
I swear I've never felt older.
but why
I see a lot of people saying they're old because they've never heard of hyperpop but dude I'm about to hit 30 this year and was jamming to nightcore 15 years ago. This isn't about us being old, it's about you not exploring enough.
@@AustinWigley bingo. 3 years ago I was young and had never heard of this but I was mostly listening to the same popular artists all the time. Then I started making/releasing music and exploring more, and found this community. Your comfort with what you listen to might have to do with age but yeah it’s all about having a desire to hear new and exciting sounds
@@AustinWigley can't argue with that. I mostly listen to rock/metal so the term hyperpop is new to me. And it doesn't feel that different from other pop music tbh, at least to me. Anyway I subscribed to this channel so I could learn more about music. Sorry if I offended you.
Couldn't finish your survey, you don't have the country I live in the list. Great video as always.
Oh no! what country? Also does it let you submit without answering that question?
Yes it did and I just finished it.
@@lonewolfjuannieves7059 We really appreciate that!
LA im loving the all pink look !!
to me its like a reflection of current globalized culture that gets mushed with the internet which is no longer just a tool but something intertwined with modern human existance. gosh theres a lot to unpack here, but if u spend all ur time online u know exactly what i mean hahah, its a normal thing to be always online, like live here, work here, be part of communities here. meanwhile the outside is a crazy, like everythings on steroids and speed which is reflected in the abrasiveness of the music. And this digital quality to it, since we're online non-stop... like transhumanism n stuff lol
this comment is as incoherent as hyperpop
i love this comment
Charli really introduced hyperpop to me and thank her especially for introducing me to Sophie ❤️
how did "computer magic's" "everyone get's lonely sometimes" not get more recognition for this genre??? Love the videos, especiially the DREAMCRUSHER one, thanks for everything!!
2:15 Kane West is Gus from Kero Kero Bonito
Rest in peace Sophie. She brought a unique futuristic sound to music and kept the lyrics so touching and unique. We will never forget her.
2023, and no one's talking about hyperpop
it's all about drift phonk now
This is the first I've heard of the genre but it'll now be my identity.
Can you guys do an episode talking about what is pop music?
Pop 2 really was a landmark 💖
I love this show god bless pbs
I feel that people always forget scene music. Breathe Carolina, The Medic Droid, Hellogoodbye and others hinted to hyperpop in the early/mid-2000s.
What a great vid and a great channel. Really love how you got stuck in and did comprehensive research, rather than just a superficial overview.
Bruh why have I never heard of this this sounds so gooooood
Well now that I think about it, I 've been following Andrew Huang for a while, and what he does definitely qualifies as hyperpop
Check out underscores you won’t regret it. Best fusion of pop/punk/EDM genres you’ll ever hear and they are a big part of the community
The hosts did a great job - I never knew! #old
does MIA count as having hyperpop influences in her early work?
yess 1000%, m.i.a has definetely influenced this whole movement, especially with her visual artwork
Sound field schoolin!

Yassified pop
Hahaha exactly
Another great video! I don’t suppose there’s an ur-playlist for DigiCore as there is for Hyperpop?
check it out open.spotify.com/playlist/4Y2ZH0C5yavkQWQ6kLDuzj
Nah b let me send u an actual hyperpop playlist
These guys dun knoww
It's definitely not the best genre but it's always interesting to see where experimentation and genre fusion can take music
