Hello friends! I am on a mission to connect with people on Lemmy who love hyperpop and PC music. Can anyone point me toward decorated communities for this? I hope this is the right place to ask. Thanks!

      Well, to be honest, my definition of hyperpop is pretty loose. As far as the typical sugary and synth-laden goes: Slayyyter, Charli XCX, Ayesha Erotica, etc. If you’re wiling to accept hip-hop leaning tracks, XIX. And for alt-rock-ish hyperpop, Dynastic.

    I dont know specific hyperpop artists, but i do have some songs loadedx like I Spy and Ethereal Sakura. A follow up question/ : do you like other internet music like nightcore?

      Personally, no. I think nightcore and slowed-with-reverb “mixes” are cheap bastardizations of the original piece of art; typically cranked out by tweens who just got their hands on Audacity. Or maybe I’m just an asshole 😂

        Lol, you’re not, I can understand that. I like them because of the vibes, and the “night” energy that you have to get just right, otherwise it’s a random song.

          Everyone likes what they like! Honestly, I am nobody to judge, since some of the hyperpop I love the most sounds like an autotuned car accident lol

      It’s fairly loosely defined, but it’s best known for harsh instrumentals, heavy autotune, and intense compression. It’s sort of a meta-genre which exaggerates certain aspects of popular music. At least in my experience, it is very popular with queer people, and there is a lot of remarkable hyperpop from LGBT+ (especially trans) artists. That being said, it is certainly not limited to that demographic. There is a fair amount of hyperpop that breaches hard rock, hip-hop, and even country.
