Royals was a hit in the second half of 2013. Lorde paved the way for artists like Halsey, Tove Lo, Alesia Cara. Her sound also inspired Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift songs from 2014-2015. Lorde wasn’t the first artist to be the “alternative” indie pop artist, she popularized it. There were already seeds planted in 2011-2012 with Lana Del Ray, Florence and The Machine, Marina Diamondis and Gotye. Do you guys think Royals started the alt-pop movement or the artists I mentioned started it first?

I've always thought that people tend to overstate the significance of "Royals". Indie-pop was already well established in the mainstream prior to "Royals'" release. Not only did you have the likes of Foster The People, The Black Keys and Gotye achieve some of the biggest hits of the Early 2010s, but there were quite a few less notable indie-pop acts that achieved minor Top-40 hits between 2011-2013 as well, such as Of Monsters and Men, Grouplove, Boy & Bear etc. "Indie-pop" and "alt-pop" are more or less the same genre; I would personally consider Lorde's music to fall under the one "indie" 'umbrella'.

That’s what I was thinking. There was also Lana Del Ray and Florence Welch in 2011/2012, they’re basically under the same umbrella as Lorde.

Yeah. I even remember when Pentatonix made their own version of it around Late 2013, Mid to late 2013 was basically Acapella, Punk R&B/Pop, or Macklemore-inspired rap.
By the way, did you guys also like Pentatonix?
