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.
The duo that is twenty one pilots has earned widespread applause for their energetic live sets and distinctive fusion of piano-driven schizoid pop and lyrical uplift.

Get the Schizoid Popmug. Band Ninety One. Music genre name from Kazakhstan. Originated in 2014 according to myriad of crossover K-Pop fans, Facebook posts, and Google entries. Really, look it up! I thought you guys would have heard the buzz by now and would have been defining it for "people just like me."
Q Pop doesn't mean Queer Pop. It's an alliteration (or something) for the "k" sound in Kazakhstan, the home of all those related reaction videos on the subject on YouTube. Q as in Kazakhstan; makes sense to me.

Get the council popmug. A kind of background music (BGM) played in supermarkets, shopping malls, factories, or some offices.
It's the end of the workday, and the traffic's very bad, so getting to the store takes way longer than it should, and when you finally get there the supermarket is very crowded, because of course it's the time of day when all the other people with jobs also try to squeeze in some grocery shopping, and the store's hideously, fluorescently lit, and infused with soul-killing Muzak or corporate pop, and it's pretty much the last place you want to be, but you can't just get in and quickly out. -- This is water. David Foster Wallace.
