zevthepaparazzo 1,176 Posted November 20, 2025 Share Posted November 20, 2025 recently, I posted the following 59 minutes ago, zevthepaparazzo said: every ally maine-core song from 2015-2020, like that weird rnb with melodramatic chord progressions and plucky sines and vocal chops and finger snaps. also tropical house does that genre have a name? I was describing a genre you are all certainly familiar with. I'm sure you know titles such as The Middle, Stay, Never Really Over, All The Pop Songs In ASIB, When I tried to search for the genre of the hit song "The Cure" I was met with this clearly google has failed me, so I need to take matters into my own hands. by making you guys figure it out for me so what is this genre called? it has: rnb influence melodramatic chord progressions plucky sine intro ostinatos vocal chops along with that into finger snaps singers you forgot existed vocoded backing vocals a chorus that builds up to a post chorus with those vocal chops and a distorted flute solo or smth closely related to French dance and tropical house TELL ME GGD. NOTE: calling it soul-pop is an insult to soul and pop @NUTELLA loves me 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NUTELLA 15,809 Posted November 20, 2025 Share Posted November 20, 2025 (edited) People hate on The Cure too much. It's a dumb, one-off for her... but I actually think it has a lot of replay/dancing value. Especially the last 25 or so seconds Edited November 20, 2025 by NUTELLA 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chesescake 4,059 Posted November 20, 2025 Share Posted November 20, 2025 I kinda know what you talking about, but I don't think there's a specific term to describe this trend. So I think it's just electropop? Like, water down EDM-inspired electropop. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

artdoll 46,737 Posted November 20, 2025 Share Posted November 20, 2025 (edited) I believe I've heard some people refer to it as retail pop? At its core it's family-friendly, inoffensive, upbeat dance music that's partially bland (The Middle, Closer, etc.) that you'd hear at the mall while shopping Edited November 20, 2025 by artdoll 。゚☁ glued up, sometimes it's too much ☁ ゚。 5 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defmix100 6,571 Posted November 20, 2025 Share Posted November 20, 2025 I just mentally think of it as The Chainsmokers x Fifth Harmony style minimalist pop Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sneaky Oliver 22,514 Posted November 20, 2025 Share Posted November 20, 2025 Not every song has a specific genre though, that sound definitely borrows from tropical house but with a minimalist approach…I’d say Like chill tropical house idk whatever genre P!nk’s music is jk Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
