history
The word techno pop is said to have started to be used in Japan and Europe probably around 1980. YMO released its first album in 1978, released it in the United States in 1979, and conducted a world tour in October.When the YMO boom began in 1979, this genre came to be called techno pop. However, this techno pop once declined in the 1980s. The reason is that rock reached its peak due to the band boom that happened in the world. In the 1990s, techno music took the place of techno pop.
In the 2000s, music that emphasized electronic sounds as a kind of dance music became popular, and techno pop came to attract attention again. Around the 2010s, EDM became popular overseas, and when dance music became popular, electronic music reached its peak, and techno, house, EDM, etc. became major genres around the world, and its momentum is expected to increase in the 2020s. Not only will it not change at all even if it enters the market, but it is likely to gain even more momentum. Electronic music can compete with hip-hop and rap genres.
