base talk Is trap outliving early 2010s electropop?

[Scotland]

Music-wise and pop culture-wise. Let's see:

 

2008 - 14: Our beloved electro-pop music and said variations reigned.

2016-NOW: Trap and modern rap music started taking over and it's not going anywhere.

I feel like trap is pretty much over, isn't it?

[St. Charles]

Electropop was already kinda over in 2013. EDM took over after that.

~1998-2001 Bubblegum Pop more dominant

~2002-2005 R&B was dominant

~2006-2008 Pop rock 

~2009-2012 Dance pop (gaga, dr luke, etc)

~2013-2016 EDM (+ tropical house stuff)

~2017-2019 downtempo / spacey trap 

~2020-2021 uptempo trap 

 

honestly i feel like emo rock mixed with trap is next. most of the trap music is being rock-ified right now. idk what it'll be called but get ready for everything to sound like MGK and that billie eilish song where she's in the rain.

Trap sounds dated in 2022.

 

Rock and alternative sounds are what is going to dominate the rest of the decade.

 

Rap and Rock mixing will probably be extremely trendy in the next years.

[On The Bound]

Trap has definitely been waning since 2019...singer-songwriter is the new trend

Yeah, it is. I feel like with the pandemic that trend kinda disappeared since no one really wanted to listen to "moody" stuff while living in such a depressing reality. Just the other day I was trying to stream TUN & alot of it sounds so dated in hindsight because of the trap influence

I don't really think rock will dominate the new decade,  this decade will probably be similar to the 00s where you have pop-rock/rock, R&B, etc, and pure pop/EDM will become trendy again by the late 20s

you think a genre can survive for 8  years? i'd give it like 3 more.

2021-22 doesn't really have a definite sound, disco and synth pop kinda dominated but that fizzled out quick. trap is still common with hip-hop artists but it's not so prominent anymore.

It probably won’t be an “absolute domination” but I do think it will  be mostly dominant in the scene because is not a sub-genre like synth pop, disco or edm that all are part of dance music.

 

Rock is a whole different culture and category with its own subgenres so it might rise and stay for a while.

 

I do think that edm or dance music will rise again in the late 2020s.

[Heidi's Chair]

I mean maybe trap is not as big anymore but it still holds a big percent of mainstream music

Also drill kind of became the it hip hop subgenre

Do you guys even listen to hip hop  

 

Trap is very much still in as much as you guys don’t want that to be the case  Like be fr

[CristianGarcia]

Music has been slow paced for years now. I could see drill and hyper pop being the main genre in a couple years

Trap has way outlived and will easily outlive anything else given its ability to evolve that most other genres lack.

I don't really see this happening within the GP. That's too much for them. 

[Iaintsorry]

Reading all the comments and everyone has a different idea of “what’s next” 

[bad guy]

Trap is still huge in hip hop. Rap isn't going anywhere as much this site wishes it would.

If no one wanted to stream Charli’s new music post Vroom Vroom except that 1999 song(which isn’t hyperpop at all) then i doubt this genre will ever become mainstream
