r/HYPERPOP

You're not building hype. If you're fire, but I can't download your music right now, there's an 80% chance I will scroll away and not remember to look you up later. Do yourself a favor and have it available while promoting yourself.

I heard a song by this artist Solaraa. It was really good, so I'm making a note of it, but usually these posts get scrolled by and never revisited. Only the biggest artists like Drake can effectively build hype weeks out from release.

Yo so Alice Gas, hateoryx, and some fire local artists are performing at Union Stage on July 23

My friends and I are gonna pre game near the wharf and hopefully hit up the after party too

Lmk if you can come and want to party, we like a big group

Can someone help me with enjoying her music? The vibe and the melodies are there, I like the feel of it but it just isn’t ”going hard”, I’m not bumping my head and hitting stank faces as I am to slayr or Ninajirachi.
Ik you can’t force yourself to like music but Status Update Music feels so close to clicking. Anything y’all recommend? Any artists or records to bridge the gap or adjust to her sound?

ive always known who ericdoa is and i listen to a lot of hyperpop/post hyperpop (mainly now). but i never really listen to his music except his top ones. but ever since he dropped backdoor ive been really loving the song. and i dont feel like his top songs sounded similar to backdoor?? idk... can anybody give me song recs to start getting into him? or his songs that are similar to backdoor? thanks! 😊

People keep saying hyperpop is dead just because that pc music sound isn’t as popular anywhere and it pisses me off so much lmao. It’s just changing and new styles are being made as with ALL genres. Sure you could make the argument that the pc music style of hyperpop is dead though I disagree with it, but to say it’s dead as if we don’t have Jane remover, umru, Ayesha erotica, underscores, 2hollis, Tiffany day, etc is so insane. People like to make the argument that it’s not hyperpop just cause it’s a different style but old school rap and newer styles of rap sound very different, they’re all still rap. The Beatles and deftones sound very different, they’re both still rock. Britney Spears and Sabrina carpenter sound very different, they’re both still pop. TLC and sza sound very different, they’re both still r&b. Genres change over time, different styles and subgenres are created, it happens to all genres and the same thing is happening to hyperpop. It’s not gonna sound the same forever. Also as for the pc music stuff, lots of music in that style is still being made, as we all know Sophie and Charli are very popular now and lots of artists who aren’t hyperpop are taking lots of inspiration from hyperpop artists. It’s very far from dead, sure it’s not as big as it was in 2020 but it’s still very big and thriving. The only people who claim it’s dead are the people who think hyperpop is just what pc music sounds like and can’t see that genres evolve over time

you say it's hard to find new people to listen to--but your mods won't even let the venn diagram of 10 people who are unknown and making hyperpop/wanna post their music to reddit to do so.

i don't understand why we're gatekeeping on platform that is at its core democratic, if the music is bad and people don't wanna listen to it they'll downvote and move on. if it's good then why are we admonishing sharing that music with others? i'm sorry dont have a shadow cabal of social media profiles to pay to astroturf my music like geese, i truly don't understand the choice behind not allowing any self music other than in a promotion thread nobody reads or looks at?

if you guys want more music, then shouldn't we create a space for the community to actually be able to share with one another. Anyone else in this subreddit feel the lock on posting is a little much, why can't there just be a hard cap on how many you can post a month? like music takes time to make, there's not gonna be 150 songs posted by one guy on the first day this rule is changed. when the only other option is sending people to spotify or soundcloud to listen, taking them out of the place where hyperpop has a chance to be interacted with in a social form, why don't we do something different for once and make this space work for the artists trying to make it in this world.

You want hyperpop, we have hyperpop, you gatekeep the door to having new hyperpop to listen to, so the people that are creating no longer can, because there is no audience that can find them when you do this. I am a human being living in the middle of nowhere in montana on a farm and i have no one to share what i create in my real life. i'm making music because i love it, im not trying to do anything other than hope my message reaches the people who need to hear it. They're out there, ya'll just wanna keep this page sterile with your 10 artists you talk about, why not introduce a little change and see that lack of new art and artists disappear.

i love underscores sm but she has not made hyperpop in its true sense since fishmonger

Hibiscus everyoneee! (Hi)

I have come across some discussion about AI music in the hyperpop community. I don’t like to generalize, but I think it’s fair to say that most hyperpop fans do not want the scene to include AI music; at the very least it can be made identifiable.

Sooo, I have decided to compile a list of all the AI hyperpop artists so that listeners can be aware of them and AVOID THEM! I will need your help (yes, YOU🫵🏼 darling) with getting a list of names and info together, as well as ideas on how to share this info (perhaps a wiki?)

any help with this will be thoroughly appreciated!

Bifreneria <3 (Bye)

New EP release ''BILLIE BOY'' by AXEL WAHLIN, it's very unique and fun electronica !!!!

Something about these AI hyperpop artists are really pissing me off. I don’t care if you make AI music but intentionally marketing it like you’re a real human upsets me. Luckily the lyrics that AI comes up with are still pretty shit so it’s easy to tell (for now). If anyone one knows any AI hyperpop artists please expose them here. Right now I know of hexxxed and glitching hearts. There’s a couple more that have been advertised to me but I forget. Get this TRASH out of the community. We want new sounds that we’ve never heard before, not copycat slop. It goes against everything I think of that’s important to me when I make music. I don’t know how to truly combat it but I guess awareness is a good place to start.
