Has bedroom pop peaked yet?

Bedroom pop is probably the most definitive genre of the early 2020s (and 2019) so far.  Artists like Billie Eilish and Olivia Rodrigo are inescapable.  Like all fads though, this will eventually peak and decline.  Interesting thing to me about bedroom pop is it isn't a new sound and it has it's roots in 2013 with "Royals" by Lorde and the sound was more or less present throughout the 2010s.  However, it was never as dominating as it has been since 2019.

Do you think bedroom pop has peaked yet?  If not, how much longer do you think it has?

Olivia Rodrigo is bedroom pop? I thought she just made boring ballads and pop rock.

Billie is slowly losing her relevance, not sure if it's because bedroom pop is dying off or because people got tired of her novelty lullabies and songs that sound the same.

Either way, i guess it is kind of down right now. People are starting to ditch the dark-slow "moody" aesthetic of the late 2010s for a happy "sunny" vibe.i

I expect Billie and her boring copycats will have to up their games if they want to stay relevant in 2022-2023, no one will want to listen to sad music after the coronapocalypse ends.

Yup! I agree. Billie should've tried making songs that sound like "therefore i am", it's happier, with "electro" production and funny lyrics. But she keeps releasing stuff that sounds straight out of her first album, she should've went for a happier indie-pop, rock influenced sound. Like, imagine if Britney kept releasing teen pop songs when the genre was dying, she would've had fallen off the public conciouness by 2004.

I can see Olivia become much bigger in the future, i think the next step for her is releasing a full-on Max Martin produced early 2000s teen pop song, the public are definitely ready for that, and she would be the first one to do it... (If you don't count Meghan Trainor's smewhat successful attempt way back in 2015).

I would say the bedroom pop sound has their roots back to 2011 when Adele released her “21” album or back to 2008 when she released her “19” album. Adele got more popular around late 2011 which was when I first heard “Rolling in the Deep.”

To answer your questions, I think bedroom pop peaked in 2019 or 2020. In the future, bedroom pop will likely seen as a 2010s fad. Now bedroom pop seems to be slowly declining in favor of pop rock or pop punk. I predict bedroom pop will fail to hang on in some form in 2022 and 2023, before dying off in 2024 or it might take on a new sound. Bedroom pop might be seen now as uncool like how teen pop was uncool in 2001. That sound is long in the tooth and belongs to the 2010s. 

^^^ Despite how much you want pop punk to take over the airwaves, that simply isn't reality yet.

The Machine Gun Kelly song wasn't as impactful as you seem to believe that it was. Below is the chart performance of Transparent Soul. These numbers don't jive with your narrative that this is the sound of the 2020s.

Belgium (Ultratip Flanders): 44
Canada (Canadian Hot 100): 76
Ireland (IRMA): 35
New Zealand Hot Singles (RMNZ): 16
UK Singles (OCC): 46
US Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles (Billboard): 2
US Hot Rock & Alternative Songs (Billboard): 14
US Rock Airplay (Billboard): 38

There are finally some new electropop songs coming out that I really like, but that doesn't mean that we are in a new electropop era.  We won't be until those kind of songs start charting.

I’m also not a big Vapor-Wave fan, although I listened to it a bit in 2018 and 2019. I think Vapor-Wave has been around since 2009 or 2010. I also used to listen to Lo-Fi a lot from 2017 to mid 2018. I still listened to Lo-Fi from late 2018 to 2019, but not as much as earlier. Then I also got tired of it. I don’t find myself listening to that as much as I used to, maybe certain tracks or the Lo-Fi 1990s hip hop mix, but rarely. Lo-Fi and Vapor-Wave makes me sad and nostalgic for times I’ll never get back, late 2018 to 2019. I agree that Lo-Fi is fine for background music. I think an AT&T commercial in 2019 used a Lo-Fi beat. I have to check out psychedelic trance. 

You’re right that the current hip hop era has broadly lasted since 2011 or maybe fall 2010 because that’s when trap broke out. Most of 2010 hip hop sounds late 2000s or in the same era as 2007 or 2008. We got multiple waves of trap, fall 2010 to summer 2013, fall 2013 to summer 2016, fall 2016 to summer 2019, fall 2019 to now. These timelines maybe off. 

No doubt that this current musical era is reminiscent of 1990 to 1992 with the 1980s and 2010s sounds staying past their welcome in the early 1990s and early 2020s respectively. I remember people comparing 2020 to 1990. They’re not wrong. Fun fact: the 2020s until 2028 have the same calendar as the 1990s.
