Trap
Trap is a subgenre of hip-hop music that originated in the Southern United States during the late 1990s. It is characterized by its aggressive lyrical content and distinctive sound, which incorporates heavy use of synthesized drums, hi-hats, and deep basslines. Trap music often features repetitive beats and a tempo that ranges between 130-170 BPM. The genre's name is derived from the slang term 'trap,' which refers to a place where drugs are sold. The lyrics often revolve around themes of street life, poverty, and the struggles of growing up in an urban environment. Trap has gained significant mainstream popularity in the 2010s and has influenced a wide range of other music genres, including pop, EDM, and reggaeton.
