Picopop

Picopop is a Japanese style of music that is characterized by primarily a heavy use of electronic instruments and effects with an often frantic, fun, and often cute pop style. Many of the artists involved were raised on [Genre21220] in the 90's and while many see this scene as logical successor in many way it also has just as much it's own style thanks to the prominent [Genre10041] and occasional [Genre402] elements that form the music. Important artists to the scene would be [Artist41673], [Artist238409], [Artist133032], [Artist133001], [Artist235412].

With [Artist41673] being in the top 5 of the [Genre21220] and having virtually nothing in common with the 90's incarnation of that music AND with such a unified type of music it looks like this genre really should be added. Many other artists could be included but I highlighted just the leaders of the scene. I'm including [Genre10041] as a dual parent but could take that out if people object strongly but it's an essential component to this music. Electropop is not a required component which is why it is missing.
