Dark Pop

A different version of pop music which focuses on being dark and grim rather than being happy and uplifting.

One of the most notable dark pop artists is synthpop band Depeche Mode. Chief songwriter Martin Gore stated that he feels that more sad and depressing lyrical themes are more realistic, whereas he finds happy songs fake and unrealistic (at the same time, he also asserts that their music contains an element of hope).

Dark Pop

Pop generally is feel good music, where as dark pop makes you uncomfortable. You can still feel good with certain lyrics of dark pop though. You can’t really consider dark pop mainstream because of its rawness, but it still can maintain a catchy hook/chorus and appeal to a certain market.

The weeknd can be considered dark pop sometimes because of his under tones but also his steamy lyrics or hard hitting lines which some mainstream audiences may find too graphic, but isnt directly R&B.

Lil peep, lil tracy, xxxtentacion, lil clair and Juice Wrld have also made dark pop songs before.

darkpop 

Darkpop was primarily an abstractly post-punk type of music that coincided with things like Gothic rock/deathrock and the New Romantics in the late '70s and early '80s (though especially the latter). This means artists inside or outside the mainstream that had dark (yet accessible) sensibilities, but weren't quite Goth or New Romantic (even though there is considerable overlap, admittedly).

Darkpop might include: Fad Gadget, The Smiths, Depeche Mode (mid-'80s to about 1990), some early Ministry. (Note: Ministry originally vacillated between Gothic rock and light, mainstream, New Romantic pop.)
