Part 8/9:
Beyond the catchy melodies and experimental sounds, hyperpop is deeply intertwined with community. Some artists and fans identify with several distinct sub-communities under the broader hyperpop umbrella. For instance, the emergence of "Digicore," a subgenre comprised mainly of queer artists of color, highlights the genre's expanding nature and its relation to diversity and representation.
Digicore has modernized the concept of hyperpop, incorporating varied musical elements and shifting away from traditional pop significances. It embraces a more eclectic range of noises, rhythms, and styles, reflecting the community's evolving identity.
