Bedroom pop

Bedroom pop is a style of Indie Pop which emerged in the 2010s, named for solo producers and singer-songwriters who created intimate, "authentic" music at home rather than in traditional studios. It is characterized by a warm, reverbed, hazy, or sleepy atmosphere inspired by the psychedelia and nostalgia of Hypnagogic Pop and its lo-fi recording aesthetic, though in bedroom pop this is often done out of necessity. The sound also draws from styles that are pastiched by hypnagogic pop, such as the surreal and sometimes comical elements of Psychedelic Pop, Sophisti-Pop's focus on complex chords and influence from Soul and Jazz, and the synthesizer-driven sound of Synthpop and Synth Funk. Elements of 1990s alternative music are also sometimes included, like the subdued, reverbed sound of Dream Pop and the smooth and nocturnal atmosphere of Trip Hop.
