Trap is a subgenre of hip-hop that originated in the Southern United States in the early 2000s. It is known for its heavy bass, hi-hat triplets, and dark, aggressive sound. Trap has also influenced electronic dance music, creating a fusion of hip-hop and EDM.

• Hard-hitting 808 bass and sub-bass, providing deep, booming low-end.
• Fast hi-hat triplets and rolling snares, creating a signature rhythmic feel.
• Dark, atmospheric melodies, often using minor keys and synths.
• Influence from hip-hop and EDM, leading to the development of hybrid styles like festival trap.
• BPM range typically between 70-100 BPM, with half-time beats for a head-nodding groove.
