r/HYPERPOP

Just spent the last few hours listening to their entire discography and it’s truly sublime. It has an intoxicating flavor of amazing videogame-like electronic music combined with this esoteric flow of modern pop. Their music moves me like not many others. My ears are hooked on em like a drug.

I believe they’ve nailed this niche and it’s invoked something deep inside me to want to talk about it with the rest of the world. Like nothing I’ve heard before. Pure ordered chaos in music form.

Do you hear it? Do you agree? Lmk

From someone who was raised on classic rock, I guess you could say I had a limited sense of what good music could be. I believe I’ve had some kind of awakening after listening to Ninajirachi’s I Love My Computer.

Being able to embrace the hyperfemininity of her lyrics is new to me but the sound was quite accessible coming from listening to noisy electronic music. I could ground the sound from say, aphex twin or even death grips. To me, Nina and MC Ride share a kind of sincerity that only comes out from the exaggeration of their “worst” qualities, stuff we relate to but are too embarrassed to embrace (like that one song she has about posting photos to get someone’s attention). That naive kinda sincerity keeps me coming back and I relate it to kero kero bonito in a similar vein.

Of course the music itself is fantastic and catchy, and how each song seamlessly flows into the next is something I wish more artists would do!

I suppose hyperpop adjacent is Slayyyter whose latest album I just discovered and am picking apart. Beat Up Chanel$ is gas and I think I get her schtick, like again, exaggerating our generation’s turn to hedonism just because we want to FEEL something or part of something. It can’t be ironic because we do feel lost and we’re grasping at things to fill voids and find purpose. I’m loving her sound, I just wish after hearing Nina’s work the songs flowed! There’s so much remix potential for the whole album (so I’m wondering as a side note if anyone can share remixes you may have discovered)

[Skip this next paragraph]

I’ve asked a coworker to rec me some more artists similar to Nina, but I’m honestly not huge on Charlie, so a lot of what she rec’d didn’t have the same umph that attracted me to Nina or Slayyyter. (She’s ofc a charlie fan, and she turned me on to Marina and the Diamonds, (not hyperpop? But i like them. Forgive my ignorance of genre) so most artists from her shortlist didn’t stand out to me (underscores? More like underWHELMING! (forgive me it was a joke (should I give them another listen?))) bc I found it a lil too derivative of charlie (forgive me))

[ok welcome back]

There’s really no point to this post other than me wanting to get out some thoughts after my brief encounter with this type of music and I hope to explore deeper, so thank you if you made it this far. And I appreciate you bearing my lack of understanding of everything regarding this genre subreddit.

tl;dr damn that ninajirachi LP is espensive

Edit: thank you all for your input! Now I have many recs and no time to check them out!! (But I’ll try) Further discussion about attitudes, lyrics and subject material within the hyperpop zeitgeist is welcome.

Underscores, Laura Les, SOPHIE, Ginger Scott, Ayesha Erotica, Kim Petras, Osquinn, both Femtanyls... if you include nonbinary people, there's also Jane Remover, one of the frost children, and both of the Food House members. Probably many others that I don't know. Why?

Is it just because Sophie, Ayesha Erotica, and Laura Les were trailblazers? I feel like even then, three of the most influential hyperpop musicians being transfem is already pretty crazy. Why did all three of THEM succeed in this genre/choose it then?

And there aren't really a lot of transmasculine people who make hyperpop, which makes it even weirder. I can think of maybe two afab nonbinary people who make hyperpop, and zero trans men.

Is there a reason that this happened, or is it just a coincidence that so many of the original bubblegum bass musicians were trans, and it's just the downstream effects of that?

hyperpop is evolving in a way that makes it more mainstream, but there must be more artists making true hyperpop. i’m talking like gecs, food house, old underscores type shit. please throw your recs my way!

I made this super polished server because imo all the servers suck and there’s no sense of community anywhere but now I’m alone in it so what’s the point? I’m genuinely wondering who here uses discord? What do you appreciate about a server? Please give me hope

Made something new?

Hiya! I’m 21F and I’m looking for girls who are into hyperpop and similar music. I love artists like Charli XCX, Ayesha Erotica and Fake Mink, and I’m hoping to find people who’d be up for exploring different clubs, nights and gigs together.

I’d especially love to connect with other Black girls because it’d be nice to meet people I relate to, but everyone’s welcome to message. Just looking for people with the same vibe and music taste. 💖

I've listened to both the new Kmoe album, and Jane's entire discography, and while I've found a bunch of songs I like (including several that I'd say I like better than Homeswitcher lol), there haven't been any that give me the same rush that Homeswitcher does. Especially the first half.

hey, i’m based in manchester and i’m looking to put together a hyperpop / electronic pop track.

i can’t really sing or produce, so i’m mainly looking for someone who can help bring the idea to life (production, writing, sound design etc). i’m also happy to pay for your time/skills, this isn’t meant to be a “for exposure” thing.

sonically i’m thinking something inspired by artists like kim petras newest album and ninajirachi, catchy but experimental, glossy but still a bit chaotic/electronic.

i don’t want my vocals to be all over the track.

open to beginners or people who just want to collaborate on something fun, as long as you’re serious about actually finishing a track.

if you’re in/around manchester and interested, drop me a message 🤍

Is EDM train the best app to follow to find hyperpop shows around Denver CO?

sorry if it isn't hyperpop, but i believe it's dariacore, which is a type of hyperpop? if not, sorry again!!

anyway, i really enjoyed that album, and so i listened to all of leroy's other stuff, which i loved, too! the only other dariacore stuff ive really listened to is xaev's berdlycore trilogy, which i enjoyed! so apart from xaev and leroy is there any other dariacore artists im missing out on, pleasee let me know, as ive tried looking on spotify and most dont have what im looking for, i love when they use MANY samples from many different media

thanks :)

Not really Hyperpop but adjacent enough I'd say, like most of the stuff I see posted here is just adjacent not actually Hyperpop lmao

hi everyone! I've been getting back into hyperpop lately and been feeling really nostalgic about it. the first ever hyperpop album I listened to was Frailty by Jane Remover about a year ago and now I'm back and I can't stop listening to this absolute masterpiece. I'm not that deep into the genre, I know a few artists but pretty much surface level. if you have any albums like Frailty please let me know! any recommendations will be appreciated!
