IT’S A TRAP!

 

Trap music is blowing up. I get Trap remixes and reworks submitted to me everyday, and even read an article in the LA Weekly that mapped out the evolution of Trap. But there’s so many sub-genres it gets annoying. Trap is just more electronic music, Dubstep meets Hip-Hop I guess. It uses slowed down samples with heavy basslines. Its a nice sound, but I’m not sure it’s different enough to be it’s own genre. It seems like anytime someone adds a new chord it becomes a sub-genre, see Bro-step and chillwave, and slew of other pointless sub-genres that have emerged in the US in the wake of the EDM boom over the last few years. But I think these songs below are party starters. How about we call it dance music. That I can wrap my head around.
