EDM trap music

An example of EDM with trap-inspired elements (Arabian Riches by Audial)

EDM trap (simply known as trap) is a fusion genre of hip hop, rave music and EDM (electronic dance music),[5] that originated in the early 2010s on peaking popularity of big room house and hip hop trap genres. It blends elements of hip hop trap, which is an offshoot of Southern hip hop, with elements of EDM like build-ups, drops, dense production with rave music synthesizers, and breakdowns.[6] As it was popularized, it increasingly began incorporating more pop elements.
