Electro Pop
Electropop is a type of electronic-based pop music characterized by a distinctive low frequency synthesizer sound which might variously be described as crisp, crunchy, crackly, fuzzy, warm, distorted or dirty. The term is distinct with the cleaner sounding dance pop or the sparser sounding synth pop, though the lines between them are often blurred or non-existent in practice.

Despite first emerging as early as the mid-70s or so via artists such as Yellow Magic Orchestra, Telex, and Yello, the genre didn't break through commercially into the mid-80s about, with bands such as Kraftwerk getting major notice. And electropop only achieved significant mass market popularity during the 2000s, thanks in part to the renewed popularity of the electro sound in a mainstream dance music. The crossover style known as electro house has played a big role.
Signature modern electro pop songs include "Heartbeats" by The Knife and "Poker Face" by Lady Gaga. Though the terms 'electro pop' and 'synthpop' were once used interchangeably and still sometimes are, each genre now has its own distinctive sound in general. Synthpop is often described as smoother, easier, and more classically 'pop' influenced than the often more frenetic and dense sounding electropop; synthpop lyrics will often focus on dancing, having a good time, and relationships while the latter will often focus on dark, moody themes and science fiction.

Future Reflections
MGMT Lyrics
And there were future reflections
On the face and the hands
On a green colored island
On a primitive man
It was the future reflected
It felt familiar but new
A street was missing a building
The kids had something to do
There was a feeling the spirit was leaving
Red like a marker
So my tribe, with my knife
Cut the heart from a lonely life
I saw patterns on floorboards
Deep in the dust was a leader
Someone was walking on floorboards
Turned them from oak to cedar
He can assess the situation
I wrapped a string around my finger
Into the forest with the young ones
I don't expect to be a winner
But as long as you feel it
I'm a believer
My heart is phosphor
Sea rolls and death tolls
Break the surface don't break my bones
Off of the trail and off of your hands and
Onto a new plan
Is the cost to stay lost
Forever in an empty skin
Pale and thin
If it's good, or if it's fortune, I can't tell
But pieces come together for some reason just as well
Their guns couldn't see us
There's a sea outside my door
And one day I'll appreciate
The rush of blood and the washed out beat of the shore
And remember what it felt like
To be alone
Sitting in the sunlight
All alone
