from Wikipedia:
Sophisti-pop is a pop music subgenre that developed during the mid-1980s out of the British new wave era. It originated with acts who blended elements of jazz, soul, and pop with lavish production. The term "sophisti-pop" was coined only after the genre's peak in the mid-late 1980s.

Shame it doesn't say who coined it, there really needs to be some punishment for that.

"Can you tell me where the sophisti-pop section is please?" said no-one ever.

It's between the sophisti-industrial and the sophisti-death metal sections.

Sophisti-screamo? It's basically shouty opera with loads of feedback.

Sophisti-pop is good, but it's not a patch on sophisti-sophisti-pop.
