Trap music is worthless reactionary garbage. It's the most commodified and artless "music" out there, basically a stripped down standardized form consisting of a minimalist 4/4 loop of booming bass sounds and rattling snares and hi-hats along with a cheesy melody made with a preset from some well-known DAW plug-in. Its lyrical content is sparse and filled with chauvinistic brags mixing classism, petty-capitalist hustle, misogyny, racism and other social garbage. Its main audience is suburbanites (most of them white) who are attracted to its singularly reactionary, violent content and see it as a soundtrack to an essentially military/fascist worldview that casts those who can violently seize power as the rightful overlords of those who can't.
