Anti-pop, also known as contra-pop or ex-pop, is a video game counterculture, intented to oppose geek culture with a realistic fiction. This movement is opposed to the japanese surrealism we usually find in mangas or in japanimes. It is also opposed to science-fiction and medieval fantasy, and doesn't wait to satarize those popular cultures in an entertainment way.

The movement was created by Bexandre, a french programmer, in 2016 with his video game called The Elevator, that tries to have a realistic story and to satirize science-fiction as it is the game's subject. How satirizing? The Elevator takes things that usually happen in science-fiction stories but makes it more dystopian and takes this genre in a really negative and pessimistic way. Even game people are saying that the elevator hides too much things and isn't sure for multiple reasons.

Fantastic elements can appear unsatirizingly in anti-pop games as well, but they are mostly from famous book authors such as Edgar Allan Poe, Howard Phillips Lovecraft, even Aldous Huxley or George Orwell for dystopian elements... As an avant-gardist movement, contra-pop games also incorporate unconventional gaming, psychedelic and rock elements.
