Schizoid pop

[Jason Yan]

A sub genre of Indie Pop that found its roots with a central Ohio band, twenty one pilots, in 2012. Combining elements of Pop, Rap and Indie, Schizoid Pop is usually sung in the form of urban and spoken word lyrics and focuses more on the content of the lyrics and the vocalist(s) tone of voice than background [instrumentation] or other musical elements. [Instrumentation] differs from song [to song], with instruments used ranging from synthesizers to ukuleles. Each piece features heavy symbolism and meaningful diction within its lyrics, most of which focus around defining the many functions and states of an individuals mental behavior/emotional reaction(s) to certain situations. It can be seen as a fusion of synth-driven selections of lyrical uplifts.
