Fails WP:GNG. I went through every citation in an earlier revision and found that, other than the obvious WP:V, WP:WEASEL and WP:TONE issues, most of the claims failed verification. Very few sources even mention a genre called "hyperpop", and those that did were student newspapers. This left few usable sources. I am not sure of the reliability of Ringtone Mag. ili (talk) 10:33, 20 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Rename to "Bubblegum bass" or "PC Music (genre)" or something similar. It's been covered as a genre, but "hyperpop" is a neologism invented for a Spotify playlist a year ago. Mcrsftdog (talk) 14:12, 21 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

"Bubblegum bass" seems to have the same notability issues. ili (talk) 10:30, 22 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Move with infobox to a new section under PC Music since most of the "hyperpop" pioneers are under the label. HeyitsBen ^talk 11:42, 22 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Move to PC Music since there is somewhat of a difference between hyperpop and PC Music. Artists like Osquinn explained that A.G. Cook did not invent hyperpop and hyperpop was made by diverse artists since late 2019. Hyperpop (talk) 20:34, 29 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Since the genre is mostly associated with PC Music, I suggest a Redirect to that page. Foxnpichu (talk) 11:19, 30 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
