Dream pop

Dream pop is a genre of music characterized by its atmospheric, ethereal soundscapes that create a sense of lush, immersive ambience. It combines elements of pop melodies with dreamy, reverb-laden textures, often featuring soft vocals and layered instrumentation. The style emphasizes mood and texture over straightforward song structure, evoking feelings of tranquility and introspection. Popularized in the 1980s, it draws influences from genres like ambient, shoegaze, and new wave, resulting in music that feels immersive and otherworldly, suitable for relaxing or reflective listening.
