Like many other Iranian rock bands, the group was formed in the wake of president Khatami's relaxed stance on cultural policies in Iran in the late 1990s and the early decade of the 21st century. Arguably, Hypernova is a the forefront of the Iranian "rock" movement, recently garnering the most attention and press coverage. This is not just due to the novelty of their being a rock band from Iran, but because they are being recognized as a solid rock band, with accomplished musicians, and well-written "real songs" (a term record-industry people like to use when they encounter a band that is actually exhibiting thoughtfulness, skill, and deliberation in their songwriting).
