I feel as if this genre was on the way to being huge with artists like Mac Miller and A$AP Rocky dropping one of this generations best mixtapes and his best work I feel like the genre has fallen off along with numerous other underground artists like yung lean, Xavier wulf, and Rubenslikk I felt it could have definitely become mainstream

It evaporated

Funny cause it expended and became a major genre in a few european countries but in the us it quickly died

it evolved into glitchcore / drain s***

Yeah artists like Bones and Night Lovell are making a living out there

it never really went away its just that mainstream artists stopped using that kinda production

L$D might be the biggest cloud rap song ever if you count that and it came out in 2015. peep and tracy kinda carried on what black kray/goth money/sad boys were doing in 2013 with nedarb nagrom production and $B had some pretty wavy production in 2015. xavier wulf was still doing cloud rap type songs in 2016 and has a new track w/ bones from this year that could fall under that too.

still exists just not nearly as big as it was

Basically this but i have to say that current state of the subgenre is pretty miserable
Most of artists who used to do it evolved in other directions

Artists like Rocky or $uicideboy$ still incorporate elements of the sound here and there tho

Pretty cloudrap-esque album too

It had a good run but it fell off , same as Dark R&B/Dark Pop.

IMO, the fall of the genre is related to the mood of the world. The world is always crazy but in those times plenty were in a more "relaxed" position, open to explore new sounds and stuff. Thats why it took off. Everybody was moody and wanting to relax, cloudy/slow music was perfect for that even if it was kinda depressing too..

But since 2017 world has been crazier than ever in a bad way, people wanna dance or listen to more hype songs to forget about their problems and the state of the world.

Thats why genres such as street rap, dancehall and reggeaton are making a killing, even electronic pop is making a comeback.

I agree with this

It's still relevant, some of Playboi Carti's beats are definitley Cloud Rap/ Cloud Rap influeneced. I wish it would make a comeback though, imagine hearing prime Clams Casino on the radio.........

It got replaced by “on some dark s***”

Can’t believe yeat really brought cloud rap back

Thank the producers. They have their own little stable of these guys on their beats

Can hear its influence here and there

cloud rap/trap

Rx papi

I was honestly ahead of my time
