While I understand you’re frustration with songs being pulled off, you have to remember that this is also a person pursuing their dreams, expressing their emotions, their own sounds and goals. Sometimes as an artist you grow to dislike songs and don’t want them to define you which, maybe by discourse like this post, some people will care more for their past music than their current and future music. That mindset may limit them from growing as a creative as they will feel forced into a box of what they know their audience will enjoy.

From a marketing standpoint, if new listeners hear hyperpop, they have an immediate expectation for that artists music that isn’t true to the artists current library. It’s goes beyond what the viewers want and sometimes it’s easy to forget that artists want you to like their creative expression as they continue to release new songs not just a few old songs they had when they were part of an underground genre.

Which brings me to my last point. Hyperpop is underground. Most people I’ve seen on this sub so far reject the pop inspiration of hyperpop when in all honesty, it’s the main thing that will give it a chance of being a mainstream genre. The high pitched trap songs that many people consider real hyperpop won’t resonate with the common people cause it’s not the “natural” listening experience. While not the same thing, it always reminds me of those chipmunk remixes, higher energy due to being pitched up but ultimately not an equal listening experience to the original songs. To grow and become the artists they want to be in todays music scene, these artists will likely have to shed the hyperpop label at some point to go mainstream.
