Glitch Pop
Description
Glitch Pop is a subgenre of electronic music that combines elements of pop music with glitchy, digital sounds. It often features catchy melodies and vocals, layered with experimental and fragmented soundscapes, digital clicks, and pops.
History
Glitch Pop emerged in the late 1990s and early 2000s as artists began to experiment with the sounds of digital errors and software malfunctions, integrating them into more traditional pop structures. It evolved from the broader glitch music genre, which was characterized by its use of digital artifacts and unconventional sound design. Artists in this genre often use technology and software as instruments, manipulating sounds to create a unique auditory experience.
