Hyperpop is a hybrid pop/EDM genre which fuses elements of multiple music genres into one entity, including techno, emo, punk rock, cloud rap, & hip hop. It first emerged in the 2010s and received notoriety once Spotify launched the official “hyperpop” playlist in August 2019.

It shares characteristics with bedroom pop, as a majority of hyperpop artists compose songs at home before distributing music online via Soundcloud, Spotify, or Reddit. There is a huge internet following for hyperpop artists, which makes the music accessible and geared towards Generation Z in particular.

Hyperpop is also characterized as being openly diverse with gender identity, sexuality, and orientation. Many transgender and non-binary artists have experienced success within the genre, such as Kim Petras, Laura Les of 100 Gecs, Grimes, and SOPHIE.
