i was under the impression the "trap" referred to abandoned motels in atlanta and college park, where dudes moved product. they often had only on way in and out, so they called them traps.

jesus i must be out of touch, because after 6 minutes i still have no clue what they are talking about.....
I can't bring myself to sit through this. Sorry, but this video is corny and so are people who are suddenly all TRAP THIS TRAP THAT. Same types who would punctuate everything with the word SWAG.
I'm old.
I'm old.
eople who are suddenly all TRAP THIS TRAP THAT
I don't get why there is a video on this. This isn't the first time rap, dance, 'hood' and club music have come together. Only a couple of years ago we had Baltimore house (USA) and Grime (UK) doing the exact same thing. Prior to that there was Hip-house, Jungle and Miami bass just to name a few.
The term EDM is what annoys me the most though! Why do we need to group all electronic music into one big ugly lump??!

I kinda miss the days when I couldn't play more than 2-3 trap songs in a row without increasing the risk of a fight breaking out.
TRAP MUSIC = FIGHT MUSIC.

Because there are about three million sub-genres.
At some point you have package them up to make it manageable.
Doomcore was a good one.
Actually, let's rechristen the whole thing as 'big ugly lump' music.
BULM.
Yes.

Trap isn't a coming together. It's hood. I just hope the EDM dudes don't go and make hood music uncool. I guess there's still hope as long as Black people continue to make the music for themselves.

You sound like a club manager.
I blame packing a bunch of drunk people into a room.

On one hand, it's always good to see young people enjoying themselves, and I'm all for anything that reminds people of hip-hop's origins as party music.
On the other, the only real issue I have is the same one I had with "trip-hop" - above and beyond the usual dilettantes and cultural tourists that always tend to congregate around this sort of thing, there's a certain section of the audience that feels much more comfortable with it when the more idiomatically "black" elements (i.e., the rappers) are either de-emphasised or shunted out of the picture altogether.

TRAP MUSIC should always = FIGHT MUSIC.

Even WARP are putting out this kinda stuff. I'm kinda shocked this is news to some. (but not really)
I imagine if I was a teenager I would happily 'go mental' to this in a club, or what ever the yout say these days. Although I find a lot of the MadDecent stuff a little too fullretard for my liking. And that video was some pretty cornball promotional shit tbh. bitch even used the phrase "moving forward".

You shouldn't be. TNGHT are great and Hudson Mohawke has been on the label for long enough to be given license to do this, and I think it has been done well. Mind you I didn't realize TNGHT were classified as "TRAP" until a couple of weeks ago, i just though it was good bass music.
