Trap (also called Trap Music and Trap Rap) is a Hip Hop music subgenre, born in the 1990s from Southern Hip Hop in the United States.

Trap music uses multi-layered hard-lined and melodic synthesizers; crisp, grimy, and rhythmic snares; deep 808 kick drums derived from the Roland TR-808 drum machine; double-time, triple-time and similarly divided hi-hats; and sometimes a faux-symphonic arrangement to create a dark, harsh and bleak atmosphere.

Trap is named after the term for places where drug deals take place. Common subjects to rap about in the genre include street life, poverty, violence, drugs and sex.

A style of Electronic Music also named Trap (or EDM Trap), that emerged around 2012, is heavily influenced by the trap rap genre, but is not to be confused with it.
