Trap

Trap is a hip hop music subgenre that developed in the late 1990s to early 2000s from Southern hip hop in the United States.[1][2] It is typified by double or triple-time sub-divided hi-hats,[3] heavy kick drums from the Roland TR-808 drum machine, layered synthesizers, and an overall dark, ominous, or bleak atmosphere.[4][5] The term "trap" referred to places where drug deals take place. In the 2010s, artists crossbred trap with dubstep and effectively created a new and distinct form of the genre.
