Alt Pop

Alt pop, short for alternative pop, is a dynamic and experimental music genre that blends catchy pop hooks with unconventional sounds and innovative production techniques. It often defies traditional pop norms by incorporating influences from indie, electronic, and even rock music, creating a fresh and eclectic sound. Artists in the alt pop scene, like ESIUM and NITTIATTE, push boundaries with their emotive lyrics, atmospheric soundscapes, and layered instrumentation. This genre is characterized by its willingness to explore new sonic territories, offering listeners a unique and contemporary take on pop music. It appeals to those seeking introspective, genre-bending tunes that still maintain a strong melodic core.
