Dream Pop is the genre that envelops listeners in ethereal, atmospheric soundscapes, characterized by its lush, reverb-soaked textures and melancholic melodies. Emerging in the 1980s, it was popularized by bands like Cocteau Twins, Mazzy Star, and Beach House, who brought a dreamy, introspective approach to alternative rock. Dream pop's immersive, otherworldly sound makes it perfect for both personal listening and live performances. Today, it continues to inspire and influence, with new artists exploring its rich, atmospheric soundscapes and pushing its boundaries.
