FAQ –

What is ‘bedroom pop’?

Bedroom Pop is a style of Indie Pop birthed from the 2010s. Like garage-rock, BP served as an intimate and authentic genre influenced by nostalgic sounds and psychedelia. Bedroom Pop encapsulates a grassroots movement of art and literature from the ‘bedroom’. The teen angst of Chillwave tracks influenced the bedrock of the internet today through Soundcloud to YouTube as youth tuned in to witness a true image of themselves for the first time since The Beatles.

Young people are the epitome of hope. in art, in music, in film, in writing, in laughter, in anger, in culture and in change.

We have the blessing now to show ourselves in all our authenticity, through expression and creation. the sensation of the ‘overnight success’ and dreams of being randomly scouted are dissipating. We have everything we need to become who we want to be, from our comfort zones and four walls of our homes.

This is bedroom pop. this is making whatever you want to, whenever you can, however you want.
