glaive is an alternative / hyper-pop artist regarded as a young pioneer of the digicore genre – a more underground, largely teenage offshoot of hyperpop that uses elements of trap and emo rap with a DIY ethic. After posting a string of hyperpop songs to SoundCloud during the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, glaive earned himself a cult following. The rapidly rising star is establishing a sound in his image, blurring the exhilarating highs of hyperpop with the surging emotional undercurrents of pop’s next wave. We may stumble, fall, and experience what feels like the end of the world once or twice, but eventually, in spite of it all, we grow up. And for glaive, an artist who rose to fame alongside the rapid ascent of hyperpop, the growing and shifting nature of his projects feel like coming-of-age in sonics.
