It's fairly loosely defined, but it's best known for harsh instrumentals, heavy autotune, and intense compression. It's sort of a meta-genre which exaggerates certain aspects of popular music. At least in my experience, it is very popular with queer people, and there is a lot of remarkable hyperpop from LGBT+ (especially trans) artists. That being said, it is certainly not limited to that demographic. There is a fair amount of hyperpop that breaches hard rock, hip-hop, and even country.
