Glitch Pop

Glitch pop is a subgenre of electronic music characterized by its deliberate use of sonic errors and distortions, often incorporating stuttering beats, fragmented melodies, and pitch-bent vocals. Emerging in the early 2000s, glitch pop drew from the experimentalism of IDM and the pop sensibilities of electropop, with artists exploiting digital audio software to create intentionally flawed, yet captivating soundscapes. This genre thrived in the mid-2000s to early 2010s, reflecting the anxieties and disorientations of the digital age. Glitch pop's cultural significance lies in its subversion of traditional notions of musical perfection, mirroring the imperfections and unpredictabilities of modern life. Distinct from other electronic styles, glitch pop's emphasis on deliberate errors and digital detritus sets it apart, while its pop inflections render it more accessible than avant-garde electronica.
