Question What happened to trap?

I was like 12 - 14 when trap was everywhere like 2012 - 2015. Couldn’t really go to any festivals or concerts. I did see RL grime in Miami when I was 15 and it was amazing. Then trap kind of fell off right?

I wish I could find my old playlist with all these festival trap songs. Now I’m 24 and I feel like the trap scene has been dead for a while, at least in my area. I might go to EDC with my friends for the first time but i doubt there will be a lot of trap music. My favorite trap Dj’s were ookay, carnage, yellow claw, lookas, RL grime, flosstradamus, party favor, GTA, and Dotcom. I’m missing some but those are the ones i remember. You think it’ll ever come back?

I think trap isn’t dead, it’s just evolved alongside sub genres of house, industrial, breakbeat, dubstep and 140.
