I definitely think that bedroom pop and Billie Eilish is the defining sound of this era. She is this decade's Lady Gaga and most other female vocalists are jumping on the bandwagon. Agree or disagree? Do you think bedroom pop will fall out of favor after the pandemic? Electropop was only a 3-4 year fad at the most.

Probably will last about 5-6 years or so, it seems like modern music trends last longer than they used to

I said it before and I’ll say it again: I think lo fi of all kinds will define the 2020s.

Can someone explain to me exactly what bedroom pop is? I’ve never heard of that before. Does the name have something to do with COVID and how we are being quarantined?

Think Billie Eilish - I really don't know whoever else they are talking about... To me the defining new sounds of the 20s so far are bouncy and guitar-based melodic trap (people here often associate these styles of trap with 2010s holdovers but I really don't think so, you wouldn't hear it in 2017 or even 2018), NY drill, and revival songs like "Say So" and from artists like The Weeknd and Dua Lipa.

Nah, bedroom pop predates the pandemic by a few years. Here's a playlist I made a little while back that's kind of a starter pack for bedroom pop (and some other lo fi stuff): www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLgqVg6-jXDmtfHi9BAEOGjqgwj5cUWbtv

I can see this lasting till around 2023-2026. By 2023 or 2024, the bedroom pop sound might be more developed to suit the 2020s and cut ties to the late 2010s. It might become more uptempo or upbeat by then and possibly merge with drill or hip hop or rock. If that were the case, it might as well be called bedroom (hop, rock or drill). I hope hyper pop gets backlashed against because it sounds similar to ElectroPop. It’s early for that genre to come back. I can understand it getting a revival in the late 2020s and early 2030s, but not now as we’re barely removed from the late 2010s culturally. Not to mention I still hear songs from the 2010s get played wherever I go. Do you have examples of new "hyperpop" songs? When the pandemic is over and people can go out again, I think people are going to want more uptempo songs. Most Billie Eilish songs or songs like "Drivers License" aren't that. Also, I'd say we're barely removed from the late 2010s musically but it was another world culturally. Music has stagnated big time because of the pandemic.

I disagree. It's nowhere near as ubiquitous on the charts as what electropop was during its 2009-2012 peak. The impact that electropop had on pop culture is untenable; it truly changed the face of music and turned it on its head. The popularity of Glee, the demise of rock as a cultural juggernaut, Eminem and Snoop Dogg's decisions to incorporate more synths and party-based lyrics into their music, can all be contributed to electropop in some shape or form. My issue with the "bedroom pop" label is that it is too vague of a term to truly describe a sub-genre of music. I see people defining it as lo-fi music, but isn't that what the "indie" label is meant for? We're not assuming that all 'bedroom pop' songs are recorded in a lo-fi setting in a bedroom, are we? Because they're not. The mainstream 'bedroom pop' stars rake in millions and record their supposedly 'lo-fi' songs in high-profile studios. As for Billie Eilish, her music has also been labeled as "alt-pop" or "indie-pop", depending on what you read. Rolling Stone simply described her as "a pop star" with a darker twist, and honestly, that's probably the best description of Billie Eilish as an artist. In fact, I've only ever seen her labelled as a "bedroom-pop" artist on here. The point i'm making is that we can't compare the popularity of this style of music when it is poorly conceived as it is. Where do you draw the lines between what is "alternative", "indie" or "bedroom-pop?" All of them could be applicable. The style of music that Billie Eilish and Olivia Rodrigo are popularizing isn't even anything new, it has its origins back to when Lorde sang about "never being royals" eight years ago. EDM and trap have both had a much bigger presence on the charts.

Bedroom pop is nowhere near comparable to electro-pop IMO. The early 2010’s (and the late 2000’s) were a time when pop culture changed at a much faster pace than today. We didn’t rely as much on music streaming as we do now. Most of the songs charting today are either hip-hop or just pop songs. If there are bedroom pops charting the billboards, then I don’t see it.

Music has stagnated big time because of the pandemic. Here are examples of hyperpop songs: “Driver’s License” is straight out of 2017. That late 2010s sound is old hat. It deserves backlash, not hype. I’m surprised that song was huge as it was. I’m also not surprised with pop culture stagnating thanks to streaming and social media. Even the fashion besides masks, movies and TV strikes me as late 2010s. Gaming is in a transitional state between 8th and 9th generation gaming with the release of PS5 in November 2020. Mostly everyone still has PS4. I think 9th generation gaming will take off in late 2021 or sometime in 2022. Internet is experiencing a transition with the rollout of 5G. Politically, 2021 is already early 2020s with Biden in office. Most of those "hyperpop" songs are actually from the mid/late 2010s so yeah, that sound is nothing new. In 2016, we really weren't that far removed from the world of electropop.

Lorde is just the one who catapults the trend.

A similar thing is happening with the classification of the Indie Rock genre. A few months back, I remember seeing the Google Knowledge Panel labeling an Indie Rock song that sounds like Fun's We Are Young as Alternative Rock and I was like "No! A song that sounds like Green Day's When September Ends is Alternative Rock. Hipster music is not Alternative Rock."

I'm not sure yet since we're still in the very early part of the decade, but as of right now, no. From my recollection of 2010, electropop/club and "electro-rap" music (think "Black and Yellow" by Wiz Khalifa, for example) were EVERYWHERE. From the radio, YouTube, etc.
Bedroom pop still had some notable successes though like "death bed" or "supalonely", but the subgenre never really had a song catapult within the likes of "Smells Like Teen Spirit", "Just Dance", or "Royals" to make the sound more mainstream as of yet (imo).

Bedroom pop is more of a late 2010s thing. Pop music is moving more into a brighter, upbeat direction.
