A sub genre of Indie Pop that found its roots with a central
Ohio band, twenty one pilots, in
2012. Combining elements of
Pop, Rap and Indie, Schizoid
Pop is usually sung in the form of
urban and spoken word lyrics and focuses more on the content of the lyrics and the vocalist(s)' tone of voice than background instrumentation or other musical elements. Instrumentation differs from song to song, with instruments used ranging from synthesizers to ukuleles. Each piece features
heavy symbolism and meaningful diction within its lyrics, most of which focus around defining the many functions and states of an individual's mental behavior/emotional reaction(s) to certain situations. It can be seen as a fusion of synth-driven selections of lyrical uplifts.
