Description

Bitpop blends chiptune's vintage video game sounds with modern pop structures and electronic production. Emerging from internet culture in the 2000s, it combines 8-bit nostalgia with catchy melodies and contemporary lyrics. The genre appeals to digitally-native listeners who grew up with gaming and online communities.
