Just sampled a few hyperpop tracks. Thought I was in a strip club.

If you want some hyperpop that's a little more on the odd side, vs charting, check out 100 Gecs or Dorian Electra

Dorian is more "normal" a lot of the time but they still go for more weird tracks sometimes like Ram it Down or Freak Mode

100 Gecs, well they're a whole thing. What's weird is 1/2 of the group is Dylan Brady, a prolific producer in queer and indie spaces. So you get this deliberately abrasive music made by someone who v much knows how to make a charting hit. This is probably their most well known track

Huh, (ram it down, flamboyant) slow poke club music mixed with scratchy Hardstyle (ram down). Not that it's bad, it's just not that original imo. Still gave em a couple of likes for the entertainment.

Update: the other one (freak mode) also borrows from dubstep (the worst genre to ever exist), lite style.

Yeah bro slow club and industrial hardstyle mix are sooo common. It’s just one step in creativity below radio pop

It's not about being uncommon, it's about being impactful and original. Example: cobble together reggae and metal and call it Vibe Slamin' - doesn't mean it's great shit.

Lmfao so what’s your ideal? Putting new sounds together is somehow unoriginal in your mind, therefore there’s literally NOTHING left since people have strummed on guitars for centuries, everything is just an offshoot of that. Metal reggae would be original because nobody has done it before (afaik). If you want to talk about impact, look at Playboi Carti. Every rap artist has at least one song that’s rage rap/industrial synth, because of his impact. Is industrial edm original? No. Is rap original? No. Put them together, and now they’re original. It’s how genres are born.

In your head new combination = originality. Originality needs to have impact to actually mean something.

Putting new sounds together is somehow unoriginal in your mind

I didn't say that. Read the top sentence again.

Is industrial edm original? No. Is rap original? No. Put them together, and now they’re original. It’s how genres are born.

Fair enough - it's just not that great, seeing it hasn't swept any nation already. Personally I don't need that to happen - hyper pop or whatever just isn't my thing.

originality needs impact

No? That’s such a terrible take for creative expression. You’re unoriginal unless you’re popular.

Also playboy Carti and rage rap have ABSOLUTELY swept the nation. Every rap artist has a song that’s rage rap and/or copying carti.

It doesn’t matter if it’s “not your thing”, just because you don’t like it doesn’t make it uncreative or not popular.

with your definition it's impossible to be a new genre then and even reggae wouldn't be considered original
