Pop-horror is an internet aesthetic and artistic movement that blends elements of bubblegum pop, YA, and pastel/soft aesthetics with horror.
Although the broad parameters of "pop-horror" may encapsulate many works of film, music, and literature throughout the ages, pop-horror is mainly thought of as a contemporary, online phenomenon. The term "pop-horror" was first coined by the internet artist's collective Count the Clock.
The common "pop" elements used by pop-horror include pastel colors (especially pink and blue), high-school iconography (cheerleaders, prom queens), and the use of bubblegum pop music. The "horror" elements commonly employed include gore and stylized violence, as well as psychological themes such as paranoia and the uncanny.

Get the Pop Horrormug. by VPLovesCS November 13, 2014
Get the sode popmug. Supposed to mean pop corn an edible dry food cooked in oil, then was supposed to be a proof of payment to banks and sellers of services or goods and now it's a new screen window that pops up without the correct formatting and then requires a popup blocker application to prevent the system asking for money while the banking and financial services are not working. Also refers to a male grandparent. Not to be confused with bop, balance of payments. Aparently there's also a balloon pop and or tire popping activities.
"Did you manage to activate your browser pop-up blocker or pay your advertising malware account?", "No, the banking and financial systems refuse to insert credit balances to allow me to make debit deductions less than the credit addition to create a valid proof of payment or valid pop."

Get the im gonna pop your pimplemug. Indiscriminately firing bullets into your city of residence just for the fun of it. A City Pop demonstrates your dominance over rival gangs, neighbors, law enforcement, and the law as a whole. City Pops are usually performed as casually as showering or brushing one’s teeth.
"Eh bruh, Mayor Johnson veto'd dat ShotSpotter again. Ya know what that means?! City Pops! City Pops! City Pops! City Pops!"
