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

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

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.

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

Its literally just mid 10's tropical dance-pop

[Mirrion Rizzons 11,924]

Truly one of the worst genres of pop I'm so glad that era is over

[Bronco 13,860]

Adult contemporary pop is what it usually gets called. 

[princedeeblebleble 2,161]

it's called lets let it be dead in that time period and never mention it again!

[meltedplastic 501]

Id say its tropical dance pop like previous user said. post-edm pop if you wanna be wanky about it

[Defmix100 6,493]

I just mentally think of it as The Chainsmokers x Fifth Harmony style minimalist pop

[Sneaky Oliver 22,316]

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

Beautiful Trauma was adult contemporary
H2BH and Trustfall are "soccer mom pop"
