As I think we've all discussed to death by this point, Gen Z culture is quickly stepping up to make its mark on the late '10s and will likely come to define the 2020s. In addition to the generally laid back, lo fi sound and aesthetic we've all been seeing in music, movies, advertisements, and the like, which will likely define the late ‘10s and early ‘20s in retrospect, one genre of music stands out as decidedly Gen Z: bedroom pop. My intent with this thread is not to have a particular point. Instead, I would be interested in having it serve as a general discussion thread of bedroom pop, what it means for Gen Z, and maybe what it means for the 2020s. Maybe you all have some predictions as to how long the trend will last, whether it will define the early '20s or the decade as a whole. I've also opened up this YouTube playlist to collaborators, so if you want to add any bedroom pop songs to the playlist, especially notable ones by well-recognized and loved bedroom pop artists, be my guest. Thank you, I'll be interested to see where this discussion goes! Edit: Slight commentary.

I'm going to go out on a limb here, but I wouldn't be surprised if a certain song catapults bedroom-pop into the Top-40 mainstream in the next couple of years and becomes a generation-defining hit, much in the same vein as "Smells Like Teen Spirit". I get the feeling that there's actually going to be parallels between R.E.M's role in popularising alternative-rock in the mainstream during the Late '80s and the industrial, "alt-pop" music that Billie Eilish has found success with. Billie is going to help "set up" bedroom-pop as a mainstream genre, so to speak. She's laying the foundations for a new, lo-fi, minimalist sound to become popular in the next few years. I also tend to think that people are one day going to point to Billie Eilish's music as being an example of 2020s music forming during the last few years of the 2010s.
In any case, bedroom-pop seems to be bubbling away in the underground at present and gaining further momentum. It could very well be the "big thing" which results in Trap music falling into irrelevancy.

I think it’s likely to be Clairo or Rex Orange County, personally.
