Trap Metal

Trap metal is a subgenre of Trap pioneered in the mid 2010s by rappers such as Bones, Sybyr and XXXTENTACION. The genre's typical sound features a distinct style of trap beats that utilize loud, distorted 808s and basslines, generally raw and minimal mixing, and aggressive vocals that are usually yelled or screamed. Lyrics often venture into violent, dark or even occultist topics, though not all of the genre is lyrically distinct. It's not uncommon for producers to sample (or occasionally, play) Metal inspired guitar loops in their beats, although it is not a necessary component of the genre. Trap metal reached mainstream prominence in early 2017 with the success of the single "Look at Me!" and has since become a popular form of trap music. AKA: Hardcore TrapIndustrial Trap
