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.)

Get the darkpop mug.When super rich assholes use their money to bankrupt companies using illegal dark pools to trade stock back and forth, driving the target stock prices into the dirt. Essentially, they route the sales of the stocks through the NYSE, but then the buys through the dark pool. This means that a "darkpooled" stock price will reflect the sales of shares and not the buying of shares.
AMC and Gamestop stocks have been darkpooled into oblivion.

Someone that thinks you can say anything as long as you label it as dark humor. They then gaslight you by saying you take it too seriously.
Dark humor is a joke, so it needs to have some sort of punchline. However a Darkpologist would say something racist, sexist, or some other horrible event, and say "It's just dark humor snowflake."

Get the Dark pop mug.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.
