Gen Z Singer-songwriter

"Gen Z singer-songwriter" music is characterized by its introspective, emotionally charged, and often melancholic soundscapes. Typically featuring acoustic instrumentation, minimalist production, and heartfelt, conversational vocals, this genre has its roots in the early 2010s indie-folk scene. Emerging around 2018-2020, it gained widespread popularity among younger generations on social media platforms and streaming services. Culturally significant, this genre provides a sonic reflection of Gen Z's anxieties, relationships, and coming-of-age struggles. Drawing from indie-folk, pop, and emo traditions, it's distinct from other singer-songwriter styles through its focus on lo-fi production, poetic lyrics, and genre-bending experimentation. This genre's relatable, confessional songwriting has resonated with a generation seeking authentic, emotive storytelling in music.
