Trap overexposure.
    #18849256 - 09/16/13 01:43 PM (10 years, 4 months ago)

:crankey: 

Anyone else feel like there's too much formulaic "trap" music out there?  I just got the info on the forthcoming release from one of my favorite labels, and for the first time since this label's inception in 2009, I feel like they're releasing an ep that is just a blatant cash-grab.  I'm not going to fault the label for this; times are tough for small independent start-ups, so you have to get while the getting is good, and I guess trap is the way.

Ever since that goddamn TNGHT ep came out, it all sounds the same, which leads to a bloated, self-indulgent production scene that usually implodes on itself.  Anyone who's been involved with electronic music long enough has seen it happen many, many times to these micro-niche genres (and I bet it probably happens to rock music, but don't know- does it?). I'm really hoping this "trap" fad will die out soon.  Or at least hope that it'll pick up some forward momentum in terms of innovation, but I just don't see that happening.

I feel this way. In fact I have seen several shows over the last year that I thought was going to be one thing and turns out, at least half the show was pure fucking trap music.

Its weird.. I feel like I am going to rap concerts but very few lyrics when what I thought I paid for was an electronic dance music concert.

From now on, I think I'm going to only pay for skweee tracks.  That's like the only electronic music genre that hasn't massively offended my intelligence recently.

yes it does, but Sadcore and Post-Rock does have it's ups... and yes there are alot more of these horrible micro niche genres in Electronic music. i'm sick of it. all sound the same, all overblown with no room for any silence or contemplation, just loud noises set to even louder and more repetitive beats. no nuance, no clarity, not even innovative in the least. a step backwards.

now, for some Sadcore, as i am sad for the state of music in popular mainstream media and the population.
makes me wanna NOT TURN. makes me wanna walk off the edge.

I wasn't referring to the sound of those two genres being similar, I'm more referring to their respective rise and (eventual) fall of its popularity.  Meaning, Dubstep was a niche little genre for a few years and then it got super popular and saturated with tons of crap copycat producers dishing out heavy bass and LED walls for the masses.  So much so that the original things that defined the dubstep sound got so over used by so many terrible music producers that even the good, original dubstep reminds you of all the shit dubstep you are used to being forced to listen to.

Trap is on the same course, Methinks.  Although I feel dubstep has/had a broader range than trap, so trap's 15 minutes will be shorter lived.


That said I'm going to see Griz in a week or two.  Wonder what kind of set its gonna be...

I can see that as pretty much truth. However I think dubstep has had a few off spins that are very positive sounds. Some ambient dubstep that is not the harsh womp womp womp sound has spun off of regular dubstep.

Examples I would give are Blackmill and this particular song. I know several other songs that are in similar chilled out methodology . Now here I go being the guy that is just posting "another dubstep song" But I have brought this exact conversation up with several people and all agree this is a different type of vibe. I have not seen anyone place the sound yet, Ive seen people post, ambient-dubstep. Idk if it is even a classification, I just know its not generic type that has been produced since the beginning.
