PC Music, Hyperpop, and the Existence of Genre

We recorded this episode three days before SOPHIE’s untimely death on Saturday, January 30th, 2021. As one of the pioneers of hyperpop, SOPHIE was a true visionary and we’re thankful for the work she shared with us. Although her life was short, her legacy lives on. We dedicate this episode to SOPHIE.

In 2013, British music producer A.G. Cook founded the record label PC Music. The label’s known for exaggerating elements of 1990s and early 2000s pop and electronic music, such as the use of vocal effects and synthesizers. In this episode, we discuss PC Music, the advent of hyperpop, and the existence of genres in music today.
