Girly-pop

Girly-pop is a genre of pop music that has its origins in the early 2000s in synth pop through similar production with keyboards and drum machines and in 1990s feminist music (artists like Vanessa Carlton and Avril Lavigne are strongly influenced by singers like Jewel). Girly-pop is a backlash by certain female artists of the 21st century against the urban, controversial and hip-hop oriented sound of 2000s pop music, and also against the perceived shallow diva music such as Britney Spears, valuing positive, happy songwriting over trying to keep up with the trends. History By the year 2002, the teen pop of the late 1990s was no longer popular. Artists like Michelle Branch and Vanessa Carlton set the example for girly-pop singers of the 2000s with their acoustic songwriting and positive lyrics. In 2008, these singers are some of the only artists that appear in the Top 40 that aren't hip-hop, American Idol winners or post-grunge bands. Due to the success of MySpace singers like Colbie Caillat, Tristan Prettyman and Kate Voegele who became famous through their MySpace profiles, it's arguable girly-pop is a product of young women posting their own songs on MySpace.
