Poptimists Poll 2007 No.2: TREND OF THE YEAR

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

A specially mixed bag on this category which attempted to replace last year's unsatisfactory genre of the year. This mix of new genres, dubious developments and personal pleasures does a little better though!

[Poll #1105475]

Tomorrow: MOST HORRIBLE THING and LIVE ACT unless I change my mind. All polls are still open, check the link on the dance to poll.

Click below the cut for explanations in haiku form of what these are!

Balearic:
Swooshy synth noises
And a mellow soft rock vibe
Back to eighty-seven

Bassline:
It came from the North
Two-step, divas, wub-wub bass
Real men call it Niche.

Dancing with an umbrella:
Watch what you're doing
Pretending you're Rihanna
You'll have my eye out!

Disco Re-Edits:
Money for old rope?
No! Appreciate the skill!
Frankie Valli did.

Emo:
"Pete Wentz is teh hott"
The kids on the Myspace say
Like I'd really know.

Indie getting less rockish?
Klaxons won a prize
With clumsy rave Frankenstein
What next? Afropop?

Minimal:
The sound of Berlin
I read as much in the Graun.
Bip bip bip bip bip.

Pop stars going nuts
Britney in a wig
Amy living it far too big
Throw them in the brig!
