Also lolipop.
A genre of music related to pop. Characterized by adults, usually women, singing in a slightly childish way. Erin McCarley and Lenka are examples of lollipop musicians. Some of Katy Perry's songs, such as "
Waking Up in Vegas" also have a lollipop sound.
The name derives from the music being a cutesy, sweet version of pop. May also be written as lolipop, in which case it is short for "lolita pop". Lolita fashion is a trend in Japan characterized by adults, usually women, dressing like children, typically with a
Victorian style. Types include "sweet lolita" and "
gothic lolita". Just as lolita fashion involves adults dressing like children, lolita pop involves adults singing like children.
