Icona Pop is a Electropop and Synth-pop act. Their sound grew out of The Knocks, Nu Shooz, The Bones of What You Believe, Charli XCX and Courting.

They run in the same orbit as Charli XCX, La Roux, Bebe Rexha, Clean Bandit and Ellie Goulding, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Really Don't Care, Chiddy Bang, Loreen, Miranda! and Charli XCX, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation.
