Dark Pop is a subgenre to pop that combines synth-pop with lyrics about dark topics , heavy instrumentals and synthesizers so it's technically a genre.

 It's more like a pop subgenre/ exaggerated description of style. If it's not a genre then we might as well say PC music is not a genre either because of how much resembles dance-pop. Honestly I don't understand why people get defensive for genres, either in favor or against their existence. :poot:

Although PC Music really isn’t a genre at all it’s a music label by A.G. Cook and anybody who is associated with him

I think people confuse Dark Pop with darkness in music, like it’s just electronic dance music in a minor key :poot:

It's has pretty much became a genre at this point and people use it to describe Sophie's music more than any other genre.

I'd say every genre starts like this though, there is not a defined moment when a certain genre started to exist (or disappear), it's an evolution. Also their meaning fluctuates in time, for instance pop and rock used to mean the same thing.

Melanie is totally inspired by the genre but if you want prime examples I'd say something like In This Moment - Big Bad Wolf / Nero - Guilt / Neon Hitch - I Know U Wannit and Gaga's Judas. These songs mix other genres like Metal/EDM with Synth-Pop , dark lyrics and dark vibe to their videos. Also check out Hatari an Icelandic band that mix metal with Dark Pop and BDSM ( European Musical theme )
