Bedroom pop was an inevitable movement as music equipment and softwares became more accessible… clairo’s “pretty girl” (2017) is usually cited as the tipping point. shot on a webcam, it made the whole lo-fi aesthetic mainstream overnight. steve lacy was already doing similar work from his iphone with the internet before going solo. boy pablo built a following off “everytime” with the same DIY, no budget approach. Now like the term “indie”, it’s relevant to a lot of the artists we listen to. The surge that was seen in 2010s is undeniable that it has changed the landscape of the music industry. none of them needed a studio. soundcloud, bandcamp, and youtube did the distribution labels used to control.
