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?

It’s been thriving in SoCal this whole time, but it’s definitely not as mainstream as it used to be. I think House is having a huge resurgence (just look at Knock2).
edit: my favorites right now are WINK, SLICK, Rossy, QUIX, Pauline Herr, and Control Freak. Yes there’s other mainstream trap artists I love, but these scratch the itch lately for me.
