How Music Became More Relatable | The Rise Of Bedroom Pop

I often find myself gravitating towards songs that fall under a vague and misunderstood label, Bedroom Pop (Clairo, still woozy, gus dapperton, mac demarco, rex orange county, steve lacy). My love for this genre is shared with thousands of others, and I think I know why. It’s not everyday you discover an independent artist that has their own established authentic style. Completed with a sound so psychedelic and catchy. Because of the internet music has achieved a new level of accessibility. Prior to the internet it was much harder to access older more obscure music and even more difficult to make a name for yourself. But now virtually any song or genre is available at the push of a button. The youth of today experience an unprecedented level of diversity in music and as a result we have so many up and coming artists with wild and refreshingly original musical motifs and production styles which often harken back to and completely blend genres from the past. Heightened musical accessibility has created so many fresh independent artists that really push the envelope and propel their respective genres forward while at the same time paying homage to their predecessors.

Bedroom Pop is the off kilter result of the accessibility that has been granted to our generation, a tangible by product and poignant example of how drastically the internet has affected music in general. But what is Bedroom Pop, and will it even last? Independent music has been a rare phenomenon until recently. Outside of the mainstream genres of Rock, Pop, R&B, Hiphop, there has been many small obscure subgenres, typically these subgenres will experience a short life. From cowpunk to toytown techno, there are a numerous list of genres that fail to make an impact on music as a whole. Although occasionally a relatively small subgenre has the ability to influence new musical trends. From the ethereal otherworldly reverb with punchy offbeat synth leads in shoegaze and dream pop to the nostalgically inviting fuzziness and constant laid back tempo in lofi, to the abundance of reverb that creates psychedelic and offbeat atmospheric soundscapes. Bedroom pop definitely has common and uniting traits just like every other genre but because of its inherently grassroots nature the genre has an unmistakably diverse cast of characters, each injecting their own flair creating an extremely versatile sonic environment.

Thank you for watching! Likes, subs, notifications are all GREATLY appreciated!
This video was a long time coming. Bedroom Pop is a controversial topic, but ultimately is an important sound that represents the internet age.

When you thought your music taste was quirky and unique but really just the new upcoming pop

[cams.]

1. feel depressed
2. Isolate yourself in your room
3. reminisce about the good times
4. cry and write a song

[lunardream]

What makes me laugh is the fact people are sad over the fact that their music isn’t “quirky” anymore. You should be happy more people listen to your kind of music. Also isn’t it kinda selfish to hope not a lot of people listen to a certain artist, even though that artist is trying to get noticed.

[JakeTeachesUke]

you're naming all these people I've been listening to without even knowing what bedroom pop is, great video

[amelieslater]

Take a shot every time he says “quirky” when describing clairo

[sadmilkin]

You snuck him in like 15 times, but never actually said his name- Cuco

[raizarojas]

When still woozy was still a smaller artist, it was his birthday and I dmed him, and he replied with a thank u :)

[SunnyGirl]

Ohhh so that’s been the music I’ve been listening to this whole time.

[kulatoid]

>songs with an amateur charm
>home made
>free from the mold of music

yeah, that’s called indie

[goodgrief]

How can I know every artist/band in this video without knowing the genre? Thought it was Indie pop/rock/lo-fi ish lol

[Sintheeeugh]

listen to these people if u wanna feel like ur different but ur really just listening to mainstream indie music

[thischickkej]

Bedroom pop is amazing. It makes me want to enjoy my youth while also making me nostalgic.

[dadatronaut]

the whole amateur filming thing reminds me of "this man flew all the way to Japan to sing abba in a lake" because the first time I saw that video I just saw how it was filmed and how the music was produced, and I saw myself and my generation in it. It's so amazing how we get to see stuff like that in our streaming age

[colby]

everyone needs to give up on being "special" and all come to the consensus that these songs SLAP

[makaylahatesyou]

I can not describe how GOOD it feels to look at these comments and relate to everyone. Like we all have the same taste and it feels great. :))

[landopolaroid]

I thought Spotify just came up with the term bedroom pop bc they didn’t know where to put all the weird kids.

[dethswurl]

If y'all haven't checked out *Dayglow* ...

You're missing out on an entire album of amazing

[mattcs]

the quality of your videos is beyond insane, enjoyed this one alot!

Mac DeMarco is the Kanye of the indie scene, his influence is undeniable and his music transcends his early listeners as young people also love his music. Similar to Kanye someone who’s influence can be seen though out all hiphop and music although being a decade old still being heard by young people
