Trap music is a style of HipHop originated in UsefulNotes/{{Atlanta}}, Georgia, that has gained large popularity over 2012 and 2013. Trap music started as an emergent style in southern rap characterized by heavy use of the Roland TR-808 drum machine (particularly its spare beats, sharp snare hits, and deep bass notes) and rhymes about the southern trap lifestyle, of which the genre is named for. The "trap" as it were refers to the drug-dealing lifestyle and the "trap" it can lead to if one isn't careful. Since the main appeal is the beat and vibe the song generates, lyrics are often thematic as a result, featuring sexism (misogyny mainly coming from the male rappers), what some view as "glorified violence" (which would then turn the genre towards horrorcore), drug dealing and use, frequent swearing (often to the point of entering ClusterFBomb territory), and a heavy use of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African-American_Vernacular_English AAVE]]. Because of the latter point, some detractors view the lyrics as having "loads and loads of grammatical inaccuracies," [[UnfortunateImplications a highly controversial remark given AAVE's roots in the slave trade and the fact that most trap musicians hail from former slave states]]. Though a lot of trap music is upbeat and can be considered "turn up" or party music, all of this can also create a dark, slightly abrasive, and hedonistic vibe.
