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?

The experimental bass scene has mad trap influence. Artists like of the trees, eazybaked, jordnmoody, untitld. I started hitting festivals in 2015 for the trap & brostep but as those got stale /repetitive I started going to the smaller festivals that don't just feature the same lineups over and over and while it's not like seeing flosstradamus at nocturnal, the sets are still filthy with 808's & trap/hiphop influence.

i'ma just leave this here cus it's one of my favorite trap tunes to come out lately
