Bedroom pop

While I think that the merge is okay, as bedroom pop had a lot of overlap, could we at least give it its own section/expand on what it is instead of condensing it? Bedroom pop is not the same as lo-fi music, it's 80s influenced and there were sources supporting that in the previous article for bedroom pop. The article for bedroom pop is so small that you could literally copy paste it in its own section and have that be that to a better effect. --Aleccat 23:48, 9 March 2018 (UTC)

"Bedroom pop" = "home-recorded music" = "lo-fi" or "DIY". There is no difference. The only thing that seemed to make it stand out in the other article was "quiet, dreamy, textured sounds with heavy reverb" and "self-conscious, self-effacing lyrics" (I had to look through dozens of sources to find that much). But that's only because of how ubiquitous chillwave influences are nowadays. I think "bedroom pop" was made up by the NYT in 2006 once "lo-fi" started looking exclusively like an indie rock subgenre, but it's definitely not anymore - they did not anticipate the chillwave thing. --Ilovetopaint (talk) 15:35, 11 March 2018 (UTC)
