Trap: A sub-genre of hip hop that originated in the southern states of America around the late 90’s and early 2000’s with the most notable characteristic of having lyrical content that depicts the sale and use of drugs. Trap music has had a major sound change in the years 2013-2016 by incorporating spacey/psychedelic melodies, distorted 808 basses, high tempo repetitive high hat patterns and the lyrical content focusing more on drug use rather than drug sales.
