| 21 | Hyperpop is a microgenre of {{Pop}} where pop music gets taken to the extreme, characterized by highly [[AutoTune auto-tuned]] vocals, bombastic production, catchy and repetitive melodies, and a cutesy, [[StylisticSuck intentionally trash style.]] |
| 22 | |
| 23 | The term "hyperpop" originated from [=SoundCloud=]'s {{Nightcore}} scene, though the name wouldn't get associated with its current traits until the rise of A.G. Cook with his Music/PCMusic label and fellow collaborators Music/{{Sophie}} and Music/CharliXCX (who went hyperpop after finding herself displeased with her previous PopPunk sound), with many critics noting their certain aspects such as a uniquely post-ironic aesthetic and an exaggeration of pop music tropes. Hyperpop took a boost in popularity in 2019 with the critical success of Music/HundredGecs' debut album ''Music/ThousandGecs'' and Spotify's addition of a "Hyperpop" playlist, exposing a variety of artists to a wider audience. Several older artists considered influential to the genre, like Music/RebeccaBlack and Music/ThreeOhThree, have even embraced hyperpop, either by making songs going for the sound, guest features on other artists' tracks, or in Black's case, a remix of "Music/{{Friday}}" produced by 100 gecs' Dylan Brady (with Music/DorianElectra, Big Freedia, and 3OH!3 themselves featured). A subgenre of hyperpop hip-hop has also emerged, with artists such as Music/{{Bladee}} taking MelodicRap to goofy extremes. |

| 59 | !!Artists that are not hyperpop, but were formative to the genre: |
| 60 | * Music/ThreeOhThree (early material) |
| 61 | * Farrah Abraham's only album, ''Music/MyTeenageDreamEnded'', has been cited as an early example of the genre owing to its extremely unconventional production style where conventional instrumentation is juxtaposed with harsh and deeply emotional vocals. |
| 62 | * Music/{{Aqua}}, whose flamboyant take on Eurodance that mixes high-energy production with satirically vapid lyrics (most prominently exemplified by their 1997 international hit "Barbie Girl") is held up by 21st century listeners as an UrExample of hyperpop. |
| 63 | * Music/BritneySpears's 2007 album ''Blackout'' was hugely influential on the genre, with its satirical TabloidMelodrama lyrics, abrasive, distorted production and [[AutoTune robotic]] vocals. |
| 64 | * Music/RebeccaBlack's early material. |
| 65 | * Music/{{Eminem}} (from ''Music/TheMarshallMathersLP'' to ''Music/{{Encore}}'') -- in particular, his VillainProtagonist persona, [[BottomOfTheBarrelJoke vulgar]], [[LightmareFuel disturbing comedy]], songs about TabloidMelodrama and fame, and stylised cartoon voices. His song "Stan" in particular has been cited as an inspiration to many. |
| 66 | * Music/CarlyRaeJepsen |
| 67 | * Music/{{Kesha}} |
| 68 | * Music/MaxTundra, an electronic producer whose GenreBusting albums in the 2000s are considered an UrExample of the genre. |
| 69 | * Jenna Rose's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0XMy9WeI_fw "My Jeans"]], which had a BileFascination online fandom in 2010, was cited by Music/HundredGecs as a primary influence. Note its combination of CrapsaccharineWorld girlishness, StepfordSmiler lyrics about consumerism, and harsh distorted screams. |
| 70 | * Music/{{Uffie}} |
| 71 | * Music/DaphneAndCeleste, who later collaborated with Max Tundra. |
| 72 | * Music/TheBlackEyedPeas and will.i.am during their PopRap era, particularly "Check It Out" feat. Music/NickiMinaj. |
| 73 | * Music/{{Grimes}}, especially on records like ''Music/{{Visions}}'' and ''Music/ArtAngels.'' |
| 74 | * Music/SleighBells' very [[LoudnessWar abrasive approach to production]] combined with Alexis Krauss' more {{Pop}}-oriented melodies makes them a precursor. |
