terrible example, mumble rap is not a genre

and no, it comes from the greater community, not just music critics

Actually Wiz Khalifa coined the term iirc.

It’s stupid either way

Bro wat they was trying to label it a whole genre. Are you 13 right now. I agree it’s not a genre but like I said again it’s always industry and reviewers giving it a name as much as you hate to admit it. They even started it with rodeo. Nobody was calling it trap. It was LABLED trap on all blogs and review sites

Yes

Bro nobody in here genuinely cares about any primary source it’s insane. Just running with what the popular crowd thinks lmao

yea they was trying to label it a whole genre and they f***ing failed

you know this

nobody today uses the name mumble rap unironically

so how can you claim that music critics and reviewers are the only ones who make labels, then for ur single example u point out a time where they miserably failed to create a label for a genre

I thought it was called that because the hihats sound like mouse traps snapping.

Because they stopped calling it mumble rap and labeled it trap lmao. And you niggas ran with it as “oh yea now it’s a new definition of trap now”

Bro I literally f***ing said this in the album thread

Didn’t none of these 15-17 year olds start calling all this s*** trap with their own mind.

It started getting call that by music critics
The public starts hearing it over and over
People think the definition now is the sound and Sonic’s
Then you have people making threads like this where majority are defending a genre they don’t even know about

yes. that is how definitions and language works.

definitions change dude. a word's definition reflects its practical use, not just its past meaning.

why does it bother you so much?

Had somebody try to argue with me that trap was a form of EDM

It’s actually just rap and not trap.

You must not like the label “rap”

Just cuz a song has an 808 hi hat and nice bass doesn’t mean it’s trap.

Trap music started in 2001, what the f*** are you talking about?

Edit: read this as started this field

Anyway. Everyone who makes music with Metro don't all make Trap music.

Yea if you’re white. This is black culture. And I am passionate about Music and I’m black. That’s why it bothers me since you insist on asking me.

You are not about to compare language to me because someone cannot label something a new name yet. It isn’t trap music. Trap music is a genre and the meaning won’t change.

Are you white or black? Answer that before I continue speaking to you

(White) People basically stealing the word “trap” now and make it mean what they want it to mean if you think about it

That’s what’s going on here?

"Just cuz a song has an 808 hi hat and nice bass doesn’t mean it’s trap."

Yeah I agree, already said this many times itt lol

It's a mix of sound and subject matter, but more leaning on the sound than subject matter nowadays

Earl has trap album of the year

That’s EXACTLY what’s going on and most dumbasses in here are following it

Lmaooooo I just said this in my Review of his album yesterday

Earl has drumless trap album of the year

White people also have this strange narrative that anything that they consider to be trap is automatically of a lower quality than other types of hip hop

ok dis a revelation
