Bedroom pop is a music genre or aesthetic in which bands record at home, rather than at traditional recording spaces. It is characterized by DIY techniques, quiet, dreamy, textured sounds with heavy reverb and self-conscious, self-effacing lyrics. The term is often thrown around indiscriminately. An offshoot, chillwave, places more emphasis on lo-fi aesthetic.Hypnagogic pop, from the mid 2000s, follows in the traditions of bedroom pop.
In 2010, The Quietus' Tim Burrows profiled Ariel Pink as the "linchpin behind this disparate bedroom scene" In a 2016 interview Vice conducted with Bedroom Cassette Masters compiler Simon Holland, he explains that bedroom musicians in the 1980s were limited to "one half-decent synth" and a "cheap Casio keyboard or maybe a toy electronic organ. For today’s wannabe lo-fi artist the easiest way to sound lo-fi is to buy authentic, vintage equipment and work within the parameters they present."
