Hyperpop

Hyperpop: 43 upcoming festivals, including 12 with tickets on sale.

Hyperpop is characterized by its maximalist, often chaotic sound, featuring heavily processed vocals, distorted synths, glitchy beats, and a high-energy, sometimes abrasive atmosphere that pushes the boundaries of traditional pop. Emerging from the UK in 2013 with A.G. Cook's PC Music label, it evolved from "bubblegum bass" and draws heavily from EDM, traditional pop, emo, rock, electro, hip-hop, and lo-fi, blurring lines between mainstream and experimental music. Key artists include 100 Gecs, Charli XCX, and Slayyyter. Its recognition by Spotify in 2019 solidified its status as a distinct microgenre with significant cultural impact.
