Description

History
Wonky Pop emerged in the mid-2000s as a reaction to the polished and formulaic nature of mainstream pop music. It was driven by artists who sought to bring a sense of fun and unpredictability back to pop, often drawing inspiration from 1980s pop and new wave. The genre gained traction in the UK and was associated with a wave of artists who embraced an eclectic and experimental approach to pop songwriting and production.
