Core EQ principles for Hyperpop mastering. Platform-specific adjustments are in each guide below.
Extreme high-end: Boost 8–12 kHz aggressively (3–5 dB) for the piercing digital brightness. Hyperpop intentionally sounds harsh and extreme — this is correct.
Distorted sub-bass: Heavy sub-bass distortion at 40–80 Hz. Allow intentional harmonic saturation for the blown-out low-end character of the genre.
Pitch-shifted vocals: Heavy pitch-shifted vocals dominate. Boost 4–8 kHz for the extreme high vocal presence and maintain the processed, artificial quality.
No warmth: High-pass aggressively at 60–80 Hz on most elements. Hyperpop avoids natural low-mid warmth — keep the frequency picture sharp and extreme.

Target -14 LUFS integrated. Hyperpop benefits from a very narrow 3–6 LU dynamic range — the genre is maximally compressed. Loudness normalization on Spotify means going louder than the target only loses dynamics with no perceived benefit.
The harshness IS the genre — don't try to fix it. Boost 8–12 kHz, allow the high-end to be aggressive, and use a transparent limiter that doesn't round off the extreme transients. Heavy sidechain pumping of 5–8 dB should be audible and exaggerated. The goal is controlled chaos.
Generally yes — the 8–12 kHz harshness survives streaming compression on Spotify. The frequencies are strong enough to survive AAC/OGG encoding.
