dream pop

Description
Dream pop is an atmospheric subgenre of alternative rock characterized by ethereal vocals, lush reverb, and shimmering guitar textures that create a hazy, dreamlike soundscape. Emerging in the 1980s from post-punk and indie scenes, it emphasizes mood and texture over traditional song structure. The genre evokes introspection and nostalgia through its soft, layered production.
