Trap Darkness

Behind the music: 

Dark trap music is a subgenre of trap music, known for its moody, aggressive beats and atmospheric sounds. Originating in the early 2010s, it combines elements of hip-hop, dub, and EDM with dark, foreboding lyrical content. Influential artists in this genre include Travis Scott and $uicideboy$, who have popularized its characteristic deep bass and slow tempos. Dark trap typically explores themes of struggle, personal demons, and survival, making it resonate with a diverse, global audience. Its distinct sound is often produced using minor scales, heavy reverb, and complex hi-hat patterns.
