Grimey underground trap is like the hip hop equivalent of punk rock the more and more I see / hear it. Bratty, youthful, charged and breaking convention for what the genre used to be about. As much as the whole style itself bothers me, it seems to carry a particular spiritual energy that resonates with the youngest generation. I see it as far from rap/hip hop actually, almost unrelated... Rap tropes of course and some of the rhythms but even the personalities are in their own space. It's like an ambient / folk movement for hip hop / r&b. I see a lot of the same shallow thoughtless content/lyrics, but I also see a number of people doing more artistic left field approaches with it that absolutely would have never seen the light of day circa-xzibit / g unit / eminem times. Interesting evolution for the genre, though I still can't stomach most of it lol and prefer me some Wu Tang or Roots or Pac any day.
