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.
