10s Forever: Hyperpop

Exploring a genre truly borne out of the 2010s, in all of its kitsch glory: hyperpop. Hyperpop is a high-energy and internet-born style that mashes together pop, electronic, hip-hop, and experimental sounds. This episode of Rave Forever shines a spotlight on its exaggerated, glossy production, with glitchy beats, pitch-shifted vocals, and a knowing irony. This mix features earlier examples of the sound from Nadia Oh, Finn Keane and Hannah Diamond, as well as more recent tracks that illustrate how influential the genre has been both within and beyond the 2010s, still shaping pop music today.
