Europop

Europop burst onto the scene in the late 1980s, sprouting from the delightful synth-laden soil of European dance floors where producers realised catchy hooks could be more addictive than a late-night kebab. Characterised by upbeat melodies, infectious choruses, and enough synthesiser layers to make a cake jealous, it's the perfect soundtrack for anyone who fancies dancing like no one's watching, even if everyone is. The genre also birthed the infamous Eurovision Song Contest, proving that even if your song is terrible, there’s always a chance of scoring a political nod or two.
