A microgenre is a specialized genre consisting of a comparatively small number of stylistically similar artists. The microgenre of electronic music known as hyperpop emerged in the 2010s, with American singer Dorian Electra as an early exponent. Their combination of lush synthesizer arrangements and propulsive beats with vocals electronically shifted in pitch below their natural range exemplifies the hyperpop sound. More recently, Japanese-British recording artist Rina Sawayama has contributed to the microgenre by incorporating pop melodies into hyperpop songs.
