girlypop + song
Even though 'girlypop' is not listed in the dictionary, the phrase is compositionally built from 'girly' (girl-like/aimed at girls) + 'pop' (popular music) + 'song' (a piece of music). A B1 learner who knows these constituents can readily infer an upbeat pop song aimed at young girls because it follows a regular modifier + noun pattern found across languages.
Etymology
Girlypop song comes from joining girly, meaning cute, bright things for 'young girls', with pop song, meaning a short, catchy popular song. So, it means an upbeat, fun song made to appeal to 'young girls'.
