The growing popularity of dialect music in Austria has also led to doubts about its authenticity.

Some artists like Andreas Gabalier have raised the question of the genuineness of Austrian dialect music.

Similarly, in British pop culture, artists like Blur and Oasis rejected the term Britpop, there is a rejection of the Austropop label in Austria.

Although these artists often sing in various forms of the Austrian dialect, they share surprisingly little in common, apart from the obvious fact that they sing in a dialect.
