Bedroom Pop
Bedroom pop is an internet-native, DIY strain of pop and indie music characterized by intimate vocals, gentle melodies, and home-recorded production. Artists typically write, record, and mix their songs in domestic spaces using affordable software and minimal gear. Sonically, it blends indie pop and dream pop with lo-fi textures, soft rock chords, and understated electronic beats. The focus is on a confessional, diaristic tone—often whispery or close-mic’d—paired with warm saturation, tape hiss, and nostalgic timbres. Distribution thrives on platforms like YouTube, SoundCloud, and Bandcamp, where self-released tracks can spread virally.

Indie Pop
Indie pop is a melodic, DIY-rooted branch of alternative music that blends the immediacy of pop songwriting with the independence and aesthetics of underground scenes. It typically features jangly, clean-toned guitars, tuneful bass lines, compact song structures, and intimate, literate lyrics that balance sweetness with subtle melancholy. The sound often leans toward bright chord progressions, earworm choruses, and understated production, favoring charm and personality over gloss. Culturally, indie pop is tied to small labels, fanzines, and community radio, with influential scenes and imprints such as Postcard, Sarah, and Creation laying the groundwork for its global diffusion.

Pop
Pop is a broad, hook-driven style of popular music designed for wide appeal. It emphasizes memorable melodies, concise song structures, polished vocals, and production intended for radio, charts, and mass media. While pop continually absorbs elements from other styles, its core remains singable choruses, accessible harmonies, and rhythmic clarity. Typical forms include verse–pre-chorus–chorus, frequent use of bridges and middle-eights, and ear-catching intros and outros. Pop is not defined by a single instrumentation. It flexibly incorporates acoustic and electric instruments, drum machines, synthesizers, and increasingly digital production techniques, always in service of the song and the hook.

Singer-Songwriter
Singer-songwriter is a song-focused style in which the same person writes, composes, and performs their own material, often accompanying themselves on acoustic guitar or piano. It emphasizes personal voice, lyrical intimacy, and storytelling over elaborate production. Arrangements are typically sparse, allowing the melody, words, and performance nuance to carry the song’s emotional weight. While rooted in folk and blues traditions, singer-songwriter embraces pop and rock songcraft, producing works that can range from quiet confessional ballads to subtly orchestrated, radio-ready pieces.

Teen Pop
Teen pop is mainstream pop music tailored primarily to adolescent audiences, emphasizing catchy melodies, simple and relatable lyrics, and a polished, radio-ready sound. Sonically, it blends elements of dance-pop, R&B, bubblegum pop, and pop rock: bright synths or clean guitars, steady danceable beats, stacked vocal harmonies, and memorable hooks designed for quick recall. Lyrical themes center on first love, friendship, self-expression, school life, and empowerment, usually expressed in upbeat, optimistic terms. Visual presentation and choreography often play a large role, with acts marketed as relatable idols—frequently in the form of boy bands or girl groups. Arrangements commonly use verse–pre-chorus–chorus forms, key changes in the final chorus, and concise runtimes. The result is accessible, hook-driven pop that connects quickly with listeners and translates well to television, music video, and social media formats.
