Trap, originating in the early 1990s in the Southern United States, is characterized by aggressive lyrical content and sound, featuring 808 kick drums, heavy extended sub-bass lines, double-time hi-hats, layered synthesizers, and “cinematic” strings.
Its name comes from the slang term “trap,” which refers to a house used for selling drugs.
Trap typically focuses on drug use, production, and sales, but can also incorporate other aspects of street life.
Originating in Atlanta, Georgia, it is known for its high beat count, fast pace, and bass.
