Trap

Trap music is a genre of electronic dance music that originated in the early 2010s in the Southern United States. It is typified by sub-divided hi-hats, heavy, sub-bass layered kick drums in the style of trap producers such as Lex Luger and Suicideboys, and often, but not always, includes rap vocals. Trap music emerged from Southern hip hop and EDM scenes towards the end of the 2010s.

EDM

Electronic dance music (EDM), also known as dance music, club music, or simply dance, is a broad range of percussive electronic music genres made largely for nightclubs, raves, and festivals. EDM is generally produced for playback by DJs who create seamless selections of tracks, called a mix, by segueing from one recording to another.

EDM producers also perform their music live in a concert or festival setting in what is sometimes called a live PA. In Europe, EDM is more commonly called ‘dance music’, or simply ‘dance’.

In the late 1980s and early 1990s, following the emergence of raving, pirate radio, and an upsurge of interest in club culture, EDM achieved widespread mainstream popularity in Europe.

Dubstep

Dubstep is a genre of electronic dance music that originated in South London, England. It is generally characterized by sparse, syncopated rhythmic patterns with prominent sub-bass frequencies. The style emerged in the early 2000s as a development within a lineage of related styles such as 2-step garage, dub, techno, drum and bass, and jungle. In the United Kingdom, the origins of the genre can be traced back to productions by artists such as Horsepower Productions, Zed Bias, and El-B.
