Electropop is a popular music fusion genre combining elements of the electronic and pop styles.
Electropop has been described as a variant of synth-pop with emphasis on a hard electronic sound. The genre was developed in the 1980s and saw a revival of popularity and influence in the late 2000s. The genre is often confused with electro, which is sometimes called electro-pop. However, electro is a separate genre incorporating funk and early hip hop.
