Trap music anyone?

So, as always, I'm always interested in the latest developments of electronic music and I've stumbled on this, well actually I guess you've all heard it on the radio here and there but without knowing it was an actual music style in it's own right, some sort of cross between hip hop and dubstep. Pretty damn commercial but, like in any style, some stuff that isn't bad at all:

I honestly can't stand trap music. Ya I do agree that there are some interesting sounds but that's where it ends for me. The music style reminds me of drunkards head banging and moshing. But the 2nd song you posted wasn't that bad. But man I do hate those air horns. Eh, maybe I'm just bias and have a dislike for stuff that gets really mainstream and commercial.

Sounds more like a dubstep/hardhouse/hardcore crossover than a dubstep/hiphop crossover to me.

 

hmm well that's because I chose tracks that had a bit of electronica elements in them and which I like more than the usual hip hop influenced tunes ;) Here's a longer mix of a "typical" trap set, that way you get a better idea

One thing that bothers me is why so many videos of any electronic music usually has a picture of some lady? Is the scene dominated that much by males, that we have to have pictures of females to satisfy ourselves? :lol:

Eh I can't say for sure. While I do listen to a lot of other music like post-rock or jazz, I don't see them posted as much as they do in electronic music. Eh, maybe I'm just not looking hard enough.

'Trap' music? That's a new one to me.

 

The thread title immediately made me think of this song from the movie "Cannibal The Musical":

 

Hahaha, oh man thanks for sharing this. I love that musical talk after they sing.
