Popping

Popping as a music genre is intrinsically linked to the dance style of the same name, known for its robotic and fluid movements. The sound that fuels this dance form is deeply rooted in funk, with elements of hip-hop, electro, and modern soul weaving through its core. Artists like Cameo and The Bar-Kays pioneered the early sounds with their deep, grooving basslines and sharp, synthesizer-driven melodies, setting the stage for a rhythmic experience designed to complement the jerky, popping dance moves. Contemporary acts such as 20syl, and MXXWLL, have evolved the genre, incorporating digital production techniques and influences from across the musical spectrum, thereby enriching the genre's appeal. The resulting sound is a vibrant, funky blend that's as eclectic as it is rhythmic, inviting listeners to not just hear the beat, but feel it in their bones, encouraging the characteristic pops and locks of the dance style.
