I wanted to like trap music. But it's downright impossible for me to take it seriously when it is freaking classical wannabe.

That is also the same argument I made about most of trance. But I will not go there in this thread.

Over half of that list -------is (not) "Trap".

If anything, more of the modern stuff on the pop radio is full of "Drake-a-like" sing-y rappers, and hip-hop influenced "Clap-clap-clap" songs...

Grande's song is Reggae....

It's a shame... No funk.

"Starboy" - is (not) "Trap"... Daft Punk produced it..

Migos are probably the only group on that list that is "Trap", or has pure "trap" production and composition.

*Research "Trap"...Just because a lot of "urban influenced music " is on this chart, doesn't mean they are all the same sub-genre...

It's very repetitive and will die out soon.

I wish it would, but gangsta rap, thug rap, dirty south, bling bling rap and Lil Jon type rap has been hot since 1992 and has no signs of going away. Shit like Chingy, Yung Joc, Lil Bow wow, Twista, Mystikal, Lil Jon, Ying Yang twins and other shit has been around since 1992/93. Now it has merged with pop rap and the viral rap dance song (Dougie, Stanky leg, bernie, johnwall, silento, nae nae, juju on the beat) has been around at least since 2007.

.

As long as there are IQ 70 mouthbreeding simps and ratchet hoodrats and ghetto people along with wannabe wigga white kids, people will keep buying and making this shit. The names and artists change, but da shit stays the same.

Most of the songs on that list are not a part of the genres that you speak of....

Not to defend that music, but I do not see a direct connection other than The Migos song...That's about 1 out of 10.

Most of the "White Kids" don't ooze "Street Wannebes" from this list... Maybe, 1.

There's one song not even on the list that I like that kind of falls into this genre, called Caroline by Amine. That's one of the only "trap hip hop" songs that I can listen over and over. The rest, I can listen to once, and I never have to listen to it again. Nothing left to discover. No good innuendos, no good metaphors, nothing to keep you coming back for more. Plus the flows all sound the same along with the beats.

It's like the movie, "Office Space".. Most of the majority will press the locks on thier doors to most of the people who look like these rappers, but they love their gansta, sex, and thug music...

It's like hypocritical role-play...
