First appearing in the 2010s, hyperpop bridges the gap between the avant-garde and mainstream in music. Despite being a relatively small scene, hyperpop has an undue influence on mainstream popular music. Hyperpop is defined by its attempt to push music to its limits, and thematically, it displays a unique blend of sincerity and irony that seeks to mirror the world of the internet age. FUTURESCAPES shines a spotlight on hyperpop and brings it out of cyberspace and onto the soundwaves of WUTC.

FUTURESCAPES is hosted by pinkfone, who is a recording artist, DJ, and music curator based in Chattanooga. Follow him on Instagram and Tiktok for playlists, artist recommendations, original content and more.
