Trap has two major styles, one is Rap Trap and the other is EDM Trap.
Rap Trap, of course, literally means the music that rappers often play, which is the beats that we often hear. Whenever a rapper wants to sing, he will say "DJ Drop the beats" and the one that might as well play is Trap. Rap Trap has now become the mainstream of domestic Trap, and every Rapper has his own famous Trap beats.
It seems that Trap must be a product of Hiphop, but in 2012, some producers and DJs began to add Trap to their works, which gave rise to the term EDM Trap.

② The generalized trap of electronic dance music still maintains its deep and broad environment, such as Dark Trap/Chill Trap.
③ EDM Trap, which is heavily commercialized as dance music (or hybridized with pop music), almost no longer pays attention to the thick and flat 808 drums of Trap, and the atmosphere is also replaced by restless and popular elements.
