Music: Slayyyter: Hyperpop Provocateur and the Neon Seduction of “Old Technology”

Slayyyter is an American pop artist who transformed from a Missouri college dropout making music in her mother’s house into one of the internet’s most distinctive hyperpop and electronic voices. Early in her career, she balanced working at a local salon with crafting glossy, hook-heavy tracks in a home closet studio, using social media savvy and sharp humor to build an organic fanbase.

Her breakout moment arrived in 2019 with her self-titled debut mixtape Slayyyter, powered by tracks like “Daddy AF” and “Mine,” which together helped generate over 100 million streams. She later released her full-length debut Troubled Paradise, earning praise from major publications including Pitchfork, Billboard and Rolling Stone. Following a sold-out headline tour and a high-profile support slot on Tove Lo’s Dirt Femme tour, Slayyyter continued her ascent with her second album STARFUCKER, cementing her persona as an erotic, electronic pop femme fatale with 80s-inspired glam energy and razor-sharp songwriting.

“Old Technology" channels Slayyyter’s fascination with retro aesthetics and modern hyperpop edge. The track blends glossy electronic production with nostalgic sonic references, evoking the excess and artificial glamour of past pop eras while filtering them through a contemporary, club-ready lens.

Lyrically, the song plays with themes of desire, image, and digital-age seduction, reflecting her signature mix of cheeky confidence and self-aware commentary. The production leans into sleek synth textures, pulsing beats and cinematic atmosphere, reinforcing her ability to merge underground electronic grit with mainstream pop polish. “Old Technology” exemplifies Slayyyter’s evolution from internet cult favorite to fully realized pop architect, turning nostalgia into something provocative, stylish and unapologetically modern.
