It’s official; the S.S. Traptanic has hit an iceberg and is quickly sinking. Just like what happened to moombahton, trap is now on an unavoidable crash course into the icy waters of the mainstream. It was fun while it lasted.

Nobody knows for sure, but some say trap music originated during the paleolithic era when early cavemen used bass music to attract the local cavewomen. Others say trap music didn’t come around until Abraham Lincoln chopped down a cherry tree and used it’s branches as snares. In search of the truth I emailed the highly respected History Channel, they replied, “Aliens.”

Ever since Flosstradamus remixed Major’s Lazer’s ‘Original Don’ earlier this year, there’s been a new genre on the rise. A new style that blends electronic and hip hop in a wave of gritty snares and raw bass. Trap music is the sound of summer 2012.
