    After coining the term in 2019, Spotify left many of us wondering, "What is hyperpop?"
    What started as a way to categorize "genre-less" music quickly evolved into a music phenomenon that has allowed artists to freely express themselves through sound.
    Our hosts Linda Diaz and Arthur Buckner talk to artists, Midwxst and Zhone to learn more about the genre’s influences and history.

      My youngest siblings both listened to quite a lot of nightcore - I think my brother still does, though he and I don't talk about pop music much. (We nerd out about Final Fantasy soundtracks together though!) I was already in college by the time they were getting into that genre and I remember being fascinated by the interpretations of existing songs. And, if I'm gonna be honest, a little put off by the chipmunk pitch of the vocals, but that was purely a personal thing and I still thought the music was interesting. I am maybe getting a little old, and struggling to keep up with the newest things, these days. But even if I might not listen to this type of music myself, I will certainly tell other folks about it!

    I think the term "hyperpop" being used as a genre is almost a mistake. As you mentioned in the video, hyperpop is really just the result of bedroom producers combining their wide variety of influences and just making music. Musicians now have more influences across a wider range of genres than ever before due to streaming, social media, etc. This essentially fostered a space in which people could create any kind of crazy experimental music pulling influences from literally anything. In a way, "hyperpop" is just a term used to try and squish all of this music into a genre or category, when in reality, it almost ascends genre. I guess that's why it's called hyper-pop. It's an exaggerated combination of today's popular music into something completely new.
    Also thank you for mentioning Kane West! His contributions to the hyperpop scene often go under the radar. His work as a producer for Kero Kero Bonito along with Jamie Bulled were a huge part of the PC Music scene that many fail to recognize.

      Neither brought completely new unique sounds to the world of music. Most of Sophie's sound is indebted to grime, 'Ponyboy' sounds like Milanese's 'Mr. Bad News' from his 2006 album, Extend. Complete with the dramatic rising high-pitched stabs. When 'Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites' came out, it was just the latest iteration of the sound that was popularized earlier by Circus Records, like 'Sweet Shop' by Doctor P.

    I remember the day Sophie’s “Oil” was released. I think I cried from how emotional it made me. Up until that point, a space hadn’t existed for this kind of music: at the intersection of pop and electronic, with the intensity and grandiosity of heavy metal. I remember hearing “Vroom Vroom” when it was released. You could just feel how singular, how “beyond” the song was.
    There is something so authentic behind the impossibly glossy production and the synthesized motifs driving PC Music. Sophie’s whole persona made me feel less alone, and far more understood than almost any other kind of media I found in my early 20’s.

    I wish I could clearly say what Sound Field means to me. I mean, there are very few channels whose content I postpone watching until I'm in a good place, at peace, rested, ready to be open to something special. Sound Field and maybe Nerdwriter are that kind of channel for me, never to be used to destress at the end of a hard day, or to fill dead time when I'm bored, or to change my mood. Sound Field invites me to be fully present for what's to come.
    However, Sound Field is more. Sound Field is the one and only channel that has had me crying for joy after engaging me in a genuine experience. The Ballroom episode was the first to have that effect on me in a massive way and is the episode I rewatch most. A people, a place, a history, a music. Sound Field brings it all together, then opens the door and pulls me inside. Every single episode does this for me to some extent, and I'm awed by how it can happen in the first place and then repeatedly.
    Thanks to everyone involved in making Sound Field the magnificent beast it is. Keep up the great work - I'll be watching!

    I really love that this is becoming more than a subgenre, and appreciate this video for getting it pretty right. One thing I’d say wasn’t mentioned was the reason many people of marginalized communities felt right at home with this genre is you can take all the qualities of yourself and the things you love, and intensify them to absolutely ridiculous proportions. Like how Arca who isn’t even a hyperpop artist but gets thrown in there alot for her interesting take on reggaeton and ambience is able to take her transness to higher levels. Or artists like That Kid, Laura Les, Fraxiom, Dorian Electra can make transparent and bold statements regarding their identity in their music.

    I love this. Hyperpop is such a glorious mutant, exploding and recombining all the pieces of pop and electronic into something unique and cool. Every time somebody says "pop music has gotten so boring," I know they only ever listen to top 40 on the radio, because artists like the ones you featured are anything but boring.
    One artist I'd recommend is Trust Fund Ozu, who knocked out an amazing track as part of an Adam Neely challenge video: ruclips.net/video/0re4aF2MQ0g/видео.html

    As a hobbyist producer, making music is more accessible than ever. All genres update and evolve over time, by taking reference from the past and morphing with the new tools. Although hyper pop is not my desired genre, i can appreciate the concept behind it, as it reflects the new accessible ways of making music digitally through vsts, iPads, and iPhones. Anyway love pbs! What you guys are doing over at the mission district building in Sf is amazing.

    The like Nightcore and more fringe trends in MySpace music were around when I was in highschool and tbh I wasn't really a fan of Nightcore, Crunk-Core and other stuff that fit in that general scene of the time. But for whatever reason in my late 20's and now early 30's the way Hyper-Pop clearly builds off of those sounds really appeals to me.
    It's interesting to say the least to see things that were a bit fringe from over a decade ago grow and change in the ways they have.

    This might sound blasphemous to some, but 2020 and the lockdown was one of the best things to happen for hyperpop. Huge rise in quality and a lot of songs which I don't see materializing otherwise (Global Warning by Luvox being one example).

    The thing I love About Hyperpop that it's like the Gen Zers depiction of the Y2K Era Pop Music that spanned from 96-2004 and the MC Bling Era in the Mid 2000s and of course the Nightcore Era we all grew up with in the late 2000s early 2010s all smashed together in this futuristic sound
    another thing I dont think many people noticed that kinda came out of this Hyperpop boom is the Re Rise of Scenecore and Happy Hardcore music which was a big thing in the mid to late 2000s also.

    If nightcore is considered the origin, then I created it in the early 90s when I used to play dub versions of old 33 rpm pop, house, freestyle and dance singles on 45 rpm. 😂 I suggest you try it out!

  • @BlackburnBigdragon
    @BlackburnBigdragon 2 года назад +24

    Well, this certainly explains where all this "Chipmunk vocal" music, that I've noticed is deluging the internet over the past few years, is coming from. I never even knew what this music was. I just always called it "Chipmunk Eurobeat". I've made industrial music since the 80's and work with synthesizer stuff all the time, and this genera of electronic music just... eluded/and annoyed me. As an artist who works with noise and difficult listening stuff all the time, I found this "Chupmunk" music REALLY challenging for me. Now I finally have a name to put to what I'm hearing.

    • @nedisahonkey
      @nedisahonkey 2 года назад +2

      If you can get past the vocals I would recommend 100 Gecs, they are probably the most popular band in the genre and do some really fun and interesting stuff by manipulating sounds and combining genres in unconventional ways. If you can't get past the vocals I would suggest A.G. Cook and ESPECIALLY SOPHIE, they helped define the genre and SOPHIE was one of the most creative electronic producers of the last 20 years. I'd love it if you listened to "MSMSMSM" by SOPHIE and told me what you thought. I think it'd be the best entry point for you if you are an industrial music fan.

    • @marafolse8347
      @marafolse8347 2 года назад +4

      It’s interesting how truly subjective music sound is. Older noise music and hard listening electronic genres I can barely listen to for 10 seconds, but since I grew up with nightcore and the precursors to hyperpop this sound is one of the easiest and most enjoyable things for me to listen to.

    • @wellurban
      @wellurban 2 года назад +3

      I think the “chipmunk” vocals have come and gone in a lot of electronic music subgenres over the years: early rave, some drum & bass and big beat, post-dubstep like Burial etc. You could even go back to very early electronic music such as Joe Meek’s “I hear a new world”. Originally it was a side effect of the limitations of tape manipulation and early samplers: if you needed to speed up a sample to match a beat, it had to go up in pitch and timbre. Now that’s not really required, but I feel that hyperpop really leans into it because it’s both abrasive and aggressively silly. Producers like SOPHIE have been hugely influenced by very serious “IDM” producers like Autechre, but they turn that into hyperpop by turning up the “pop” dial to 11. Unapologetically cheesy saccharine melodies, used unironically and combined with helium vocal snippets, lush arpeggios, industrial distortion and tricky rhythms makes it a genre that could annoy both mainstream pop audiences AND po-faced IDM nerds at the same time. This of course made it a perfect genre to go viral and invent the future of pop!
