As opposed to the good-
vibe pop antipop is a rising genre of music led by artists like joji, formerly known as filthy frank.
This type of genre features slowbeats, almost lofi-like tracks but is quite lyrical in expressing the negative feelings which assists
people in getting through their sad
boi hours. As a movement rising up described as antipop, the genre is different to alt
metal in which alternative
metal explores the old edgy vibe of being emo or
goth with screamo and the typical heavy guitar playing you would expect. In a sense, antipop is similar in the lyrical aspect, investigating the
human emotions and the deep thoughts of the mind.
In comparison, antipop can be juxtaposed against pop where tracks are usually upbeat and feel happy
go lucky or if vibe checked, allows good vibes only.
Antipop can also be considered a new wave of gloomy music, quite possibly in replacement of the nonexistent emo phase of teens in Gen Z or beyond in the deep exploration of the rising and evolving genre.
A: Have you hear of antipop? I've been trying to
find music similar to
Joji and apparently antipop is a new genre.
B: Oh shit, really? I
know Keshi and Cuco are similar but I didn't know there was a whole ass genre called antipop.
