EDM trap (also simply known as trap) is a fusion genre of hip hop, rave music, and EDM (electronic dance music),[5] that originated in the early 2010s on peaking popularity of big room house and hip hop trap genres. It blends elements of hip hop trap, which is an offshoot of Southern hip hop, with elements of EDM like build-ups, drops, dense production with rave music synthesizers, and breakdowns.[6] As it was popularized, it increasingly began incorporating more pop elements. EDM trap songs and production are typically very dynamic, boisterous, experimental, and sparky in comparison to the Hip-hop version of trap, due to its EDM and Rave music elements and overlap.
