Antiviral pop is a genre of music characterized by its catchy, humorous, and often satirical sound, frequently incorporating elements of electronic dance music, hip-hop, and pop. Emerging in the early 2010s, antiviral pop gained popularity through online platforms, particularly YouTube and video game communities. During its peak, the genre became known for its comedic lyrics, often referencing internet culture, video games, and pop culture phenomena. Antiviral pop's cultural significance lies in its ability to poke fun at modern society, providing a lighthearted escape from the stresses of everyday life. Drawing from diverse influences, such as nerdcore hip-hop and comedy rock, antiviral pop sets itself apart with its fast-paced, energetic rhythms, simplistic yet effective melodies, and playful use of auto-tune. Notable for its DIY ethos and internet-driven fame, antiviral pop has become a beloved niche genre, resonating with fans who appreciate its offbeat humor and catchy hooks.
