Trap Music. Thoughts?

[alphacat]

In America, I think Trap is gonna go far. I think Dubstep has become so popular here because Hip-Hop is such a big part of society, and the styles have a lot in common. Brostep will eventually burn out, but Trap will continue and evolve into something else. Look out for Lil Wayne to have a bunch of drops and breakdowns on forthcoming albums.

Halfpipe drops and ball-bearing breakdowns dude!

The one thing I will say is I'm glad trap has taken off because it has given way to brostep dying out... and at least trap is somewhat more stripped back and minimal, which helps push the deeper dubstep sound!

this is it, a glass half full kinda guy. nice one.

Trap has been on the radio here for years and it;s been played out and boring practically since i was in highschool 10 years ago . so no, i'm not "trying" to like it. im "trying" to ignore it and hope it will fade away

Some Trap is really dope, but I'm not head over heels in love with it, like so many are these days. I was wondering if anyone else feels the same? I'm starting to hear all of my favorite producers play Gucci Mane, Wakka Flocka, and Lil Wayne the entire duration of their sets now and I've been a little disappointed. I'm glad that the glittery pop Dubstep and chainsaw brostep has faded (at least in 21+ clubs), but Trap just sounds like radio rap instrumentals to me. I really like this particular sound... Soundcloud but for the most part, all I'm hearing are simple drum patterns, cheesy samples ("hey"), basic synths, not much melody, and every DJ playing the same 15 to 20 tracks. I'm sure it will develop into something I really enjoy in about a year, but for now it hasn't captured my heart like Dubstep.

Artists like J:Kenzo, Biome, Cluekid, TMSV, Perverse, Reamz, DCult, Jack Sparrow, Killawatt etc, are really revitalizing Dubstep, and I really want the two genres to coexist side by side. I miss the days when you'd go to a party and there would be 4 rooms with 4 completely separate genres (usually House/Trance/Breaks/D&B). I want Dubstep/Glitch/Trap/Juke to be the new revival of that era. I guess I shouldn't complain too much, it could have been Moombahton. Then I would have just killed myself.

You answered your own question. Its simply club music.

Trap is just mainstream bullshit "rap" trying to get a piece of the "EDM (how I despise the word) cash cow.

It's going nowhere, because it came in so fast with such limiting parameters to define it (Skrillex style vocal glitches or pew-pews, ridiculous hats), in the end it still dubstep, without the sound design factor.

And I hate to say it but your perception of whats "big" right now is pretty skewed, to get an idea of what is popular you really need to the festivals; cause all the shows local and big time are all still playing plenty of "chainsaw brostep" and "glittery pop dubstep". And as much as I love the artists you listed, dungeon is on it's way out for the most part (unless you consider guys like megalodon/badklaat/requake, dungeon) sadly. As everyone complains it sounds the same. IMO currently there are just too many producers right now for a genre to properly form and evolve.

But there has been a huge "trap" rush all of a sudden, every DJ in town has added "trap" to their list of genres they play.

dude that sounds like brostep to me !

Folks in here seem confused with genres.

the majority of it may be garbage, but trap is arguably the defining influence on electronic music in the last couple of years. see pearson sound and the whole UK house scene.

so even though nineties hip hop is still mostly better, the sound itself can be considered an evolution of hip hop and electronic music in general. to give you an example of its potential, listen to clams casino.
