Subject: MUMBLE RAP NEEDS TO DIE!
Written By: Early2010sGuy on 06/29/19 at 3:14 am
Seriously, Trap is still ongoing??? Its the exact same trend in hip hop since 2015. Because of mumble rap, it killed hip hop. Not only that, but the whole music industry too! Trap songs are filled with bad influences like drugs, alcohol, killing, $3X etc. Seriously, this needs to stop! I've had it with the same generic beat over and over again, and this is all I hear. When I came out of my school hallways for the summer, I keep hearing mumble rap being played by lots of people! What is this piece of s***?! I've been hoping 2019 was gonna be a good year for music, I predicted too! But no! It's all emo pop and Trap music dominating the charts. EDM was killed off, and you know what genre killed it? Trap! Even pop is now getting elements from Trap music.
Now, I dont hate all Trap songs, there are a few I like from Drake, Juice WRLD, Lil Skies, etc. But those other 'lil' rappers like Lil Pump, Lil Xan, 6ix9ine, etc. are all about DRUGS. Music has hit its ultimate low in 2019, worst year in music, in history, in existence. Mumble rap will be remembered as the worst genre of all time, I'd rather listen to Avant Garde than this POS.

If you think mumble rap is on the decline, watch this.

Go to 3:32. That is so far, the worst song I ever heard for 2019. Yes, mumble rap is on the decline, if you compare it to 2018, and that theres less mumble rap in this video, but the decline is just starting, it's still extremely popular. The decline rate needs to accelerate, I'm sick and tired of this POS

How to be a contemporary mumble rapper (2019 edition)
Step 1. Have messy hair or dreadlocks
Step 2. Scribble your face and limbs with marker to make them look like tattoos
Step 3. Spend $500-1000 on luxury clothing from Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Supreme, etc.
Step 4. Put toothpaste on your mouth and try not to swallow it while mumbling
Step 5. Sign up for soundcloud and get your microphone
Step 6. Record your song by going like this: Aye, aye, aye, aye, yuh, oooh, SKRRT SKRRT, DRJRUEKSHEIRHFBFJDHKSURYEORHRKSLDHFKCJRJELEOEORHFNFIEKS
And that's how you become a mumble rapper! Now get lots of fans telling you you're 'talented' and 'inspiring'

Because of mumble rap, it killed hip hop.
That's what people said about hair metal 30-something years ago; "hair metal is killing rock", "it needs to die" etc. Then, in Late 1991, Nirvana had their massive breakthrough with "Smells Like Teen Spirit" and the pendulum swung towards alternative-rock. Something will come along and kill off Trap.

The Top 5 of the charts doesn't have a mumble rap song. Old Town Road is more Trap with Country influence, no mumblin at all. Plus, Lil Pump, 6ix9ine, and Lil Xan are all irrelevant, they already peaked in 2017/2018. The #1 song on Spotify right now is a Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello song.

I can understand the lyrics to the singles being released today, but it doesn’t compare to the songs of the 70s, 80s, and 90s. My parents probably thought the same thing of the music enjoy when it was new in the 80s and 90s.

Weren't you born in 2004? It's just super funny to me. When I was around your age in 2009, I had the same sentiment towards music back then. Instead of trap, I was saying "AUTOTUNE MUST DIE!" All the autotune (in both pop & rap music), electropop, dance, and edm music was driving me mad. Like literally gave me headaches from the repetitive beats. I actually gave up on radio and didn't consistently start listening to it again until 2016. Yup, I was that scorn by that era and I wasn't a fan of some of the changes that were happening in 2009 & 2010. I expressed those sentiments a lot but I actually liked a lot of music from that era, they just didn't fall into the category of those listed above. What I'm saying is, even though you hate this era at the moment, you'll probably still look back at it with rose-colored glasses 10 years from now.

Oh yes, let’s absolutely replicate an event that was inspired by bigotry (it was a bunch of people complaining that disco was “gay” and nonwhite). That sounds like how I want the death of a genre to be remembered.
Although I guess that’s generally par for the course for Americans these days.

Doubtful it was due to the gayness of disco or the “non whiteness”. Michael Clarke Duncan (black dude from The Green Mile) was one of the revelers at Comiskey that night.
Gay? Saturday Night Fever, the apex of the disco era, had a straight story line. Far as I know, neither the Bee Gees nor Andrea True not Yvonne Elliman (just to name a few purveyors of the suckfest that was disco) were homosexuals.
Disco demolition night happened because disco sucked. Otherwise, it would have prevailed and even now people would be doing those line dances in bell bottoms and faux silk shirts. ;D
Fact of the matter is that disco just sucked. If disco=gay, it would be all the rage in 2019. ;D

Fact of the matter is that disco just sucked.
In the years since Disco Demolition Night, some social critics have described the backlash as implicitly macho and bigoted, and an attack on non-white and non-heterosexual cultures. The backlash also made its way into US politics with the election of conservative Ronald Reagan in 1980 which also led to Republican control of the United States Senate for the first time since 1954, plus the subsequent rise of the Religious Right around the same time.
In January 1979, rock critic Robert Christgau argued that homophobia, and most likely racism, were reasons behind the backlash, a conclusion seconded by John Rockwell. Craig Werner wrote: "The Anti-disco movement represented an unholy alliance of funkateers and feminists, progressives and puritans, rockers and reactionaries. Nonetheless, the attacks on disco gave respectable voice to the ugliest kinds of unacknowledged racism, sexism and homophobia." Legs McNeil, founder of the fanzine Punk, was quoted in an interview as saying, "the hippies always wanted to be black. We were going, 'f**k the blues, f**k the black experience'." He also said that disco was the result of an "unholy" union between homosexuals and blacks.
Also disco did survive in some form or another. We have dance music now, nu disco, EDM.

That's not quite how it was. When disco started out in underground dance clubs in places like New York it was almost exclusively the territory of African Americans and gay men. But by 1979 there was nothing more mainstream in America than disco. That means white. And heterosexual. Among all the rest. By the way, in today's terms that would be considered "cultural appropriation", but such a concept was unheard of in 1979. People (myself included) hated disco because they legitimate did not like the music and it was disturbing to see it overtake virtually everything. Not to say there wasn't racism and homophobia going on. But the racists and homophobes had bigger things on their minds than disco. The late 70s was the heyday of star homophbe Anita Bryant. Look her up if you are not familiar. It's not disco she was going after. She was getting legislation enacted. No, people disliked disco because it just plain wasn't to their taste. It just plain sucked.

Disco didn't even die in 1979 lol. Not only did it morphed into EDM with styles like Chicago House developing indepently in clubs afterwards (and EDM got pretty huge, didn't it?), but it actually came back into the mainstream in the mid-to-late 80s under the form of styles like "Hi-NRG" and, in Europe specifically, "Italo-Disco".
xJZF-skCY-M
KpZpvo4rQAE
And thereafter besides 70s Funk and Soul, 70s Disco was also one of most sampled genres in Hip Hop: Will Smith's "Gettin Jiggy Wit It" sampled Sister Sledge's "He's the Greatest Dancer", Notorious B.I.G.'s "Mo Money Mo Problems" sampled Diana Ross' "I'm Coming Out", Tana Gaarder's "Heartbrat" was sampled in Ini Kamoze's "Here Comes the Hotstepper", and so on.
Disco had a huuugggee legacy after the backlash.

Michael Clarke Duncan (black dude from The Green Mile) was one of the revelers at Comiskey that night.
Here’s a passage from MCD’s Wikipedia page...
In 1979, he participated in the Disco Demolition Night at Comiskey Park, home of the Chicago White Sox, where he was among the first 100 people to run onto the field and he slid into third base. During the ensuing riot his silver belt buckle was stolen while he was stealing a baseball bat from the dugout.

The only trap song that I know of that is on the Billboard 100 is Old Town Road which in my opinion I don't mind seeing how its lighter than most trap songs because it's mixed with country. I only see trap music on YouTube's trending page.

All of that was dripping with sarcasm, in case you couldn't tell. Disco is far from my favorite musical genre, but the viscerally violent response it received is more indicative of how sheeshty its haters were than how bad the music itself was.

I think you're putting too much emphasis on that Disco Demolition Night nonsense which was nothing more than a radio station promo gone awry. It's not like disco suddenly stopped for good that night or anything. Back in the late 70s I never noticed any violence against disco, but I did see some disco people getting violent against punks. In the city I was living in all the suburban disco people would come into the city on the weekends to go to discos. There was a punk club across the street from one of the big discos and these suburban disco people would repeatedly beat on the punks coming out of the club. The police finally had to do something about it.

I don't understand all the disco hate, was some of the music generic and overplayed during its heyday, yes but there was genuinely good disco music, better than a lot of rock too.
Love's theme by Barry white and love orchestra unlimited is one of the most romantic and sensual songs ever created, Nile Rodgers and Daft Punk recently brought the disco sound back. There's been numerous disco revivals since the early '90s so the music does have some perennial appeal across generations.

Music has definitely been getting progressively worse as the years go by. Even the worst song from the '90s is better than an average song from the 2010s. It has definitely been declining. Less creativity going on and society in general being too liberal (not in a good way) made for worse music. There's no way you can have a cool rebellious song anymore like you had in the 1980s, because they are all washed up and "rebellious" now.

Most people outside the states don't understand rap. I always distinguished rap by regional sounds since hip-hop was very regional back in the day with east coast, down south, midwest and west coast rap. Trap would be classified as southern rap since it originated from the south (Atlanta).

I think music has been getting worse since the mid 2000s, and people (including myself) who complain before then just didn't know how good we had it.
And then new music will come up, whine whine whine "people who complained in the 2010s just didn't know how good we had it", rince and repeat.

People have been complaining about “music these days” since Frank Sinatra. Probably earlier than that. And it’s always the same complaints, and nobody ever seems to be satisfied when something new turns up.
That's why there's no medium.

But to be honest, I think mumble rap has been the worst genre in history. Its unmotivating, trash, gibberish, and pathetic. It's like these rappers making money off nothing but putting a blob of toothpaste In their tounge and try to speak without touching it!
Some people were like that too with electropop, but what did electropop have? Fun, happy beats, escape from depression or anxiety to party, and motivation. Mumble rap doesnt have any of those, and if you think mumble rap is motivating and serves as an escape from personal problems, then Idk what to say...
Mumble rap is all about drugs, sex, killing, flexing on the homeless, having no talent, acting stupid yet having fake dignity, destruction of hip hop, and lots more. There aren't any good things about mumble rap whatsoever. If you think there is a good thing about it, let me know, but lyrics are 95% about bad influences brainwashing headphone users.

I hated electropop at the time it was popular. My golden age was around 2013 to 2016, when electropop was dying off and Bruno Mars started getting big. It was like a flush of creativity into traditional, R&B-style pop. Also Lorde. Electropop all sounded the same to me, and worst of all, it all sounded so artificial.

Is mumble rap even a thing anymore? I honestly can't remember the last mumble rap song I've heard.
No, it isn't. Trap & "mumble rap" are not the same thing. And if someone says that all trap isn't motivational or that it has no substance, they are waaay out of line.

I agree. Electropop sounded extremely childish to me, like a bunch of lame Disney Channel songs; or something that belonged on Myspace.
I loved the Bruno Mars, revamped Childish Gambino, Tropical House era, etc of the mid 2010s (circa late 2015 - early 2017).

I'd say 2011-2015 was the golden age to me when it comes to Pop creativity this decade. Indie influences and the explosion of the House scene allowed for a bust of quirkiness and desire for innovation.
2016 was when extremely lazy chord progressions and dinky dark synths invaded Pop music, all lazily shoved in and it was more or less a wash. It's really when it all sounded to me. 2017 and especially 2018 (being the peak of Trap experimentation) were definite improvements though.

I know this may sound Ironic but I've been listening to Late 90s/Early 2000s hits to survive the Trapocalypse. Yes, it's old, but Teen Pop, Pop R&B (TLC, Jlo, Destinys Child), and other genres are far more creative than Trap, and has meaningful messages. Mumble rap isn't any of that.
Besides that, I know I'm trying not to listen to Trap music nowadays, but when I go on Snapchat or Instagram, I keep hearing them playing dumb Trap music in the background, it's annoying! Pretty hard to avoid!

For those of you saying that music is stagnant right now; This isn't the first time in history. Before Rock and Roll became huge around 1955, from 1945 to 1955, some people thought that music was just 'watered down' and stale compared to the 1920's and 1930's. They were searching for a 'new sound'. Not everyone was into Big Band, LMAO.

The problem is the songs are really bad now. A couple years ago bubblegum trap was also popular (Like the song iSpy by Kyle) and that sounded better than the songs we have today. There was also more diversity in rap a couple years ago and they didn't all sound the same with the same boring trap beat. The genre needs to die it has overstayed its welcome now.

https://variety.com/2019/biz/news/pop-is-crushing-hip-hop-study-taylor-swift-drake-1203313713/
The number of new hip-hop songs reaching the Top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 is dropping dramatically in 2019 as opposed to last year, according to “The State of the Hot 100 Top Ten,” a quarterly analysis of the compositional and industry trends issued by analysts Hit Songs Deconstructed.
While the study looks at just one element of the charts and year-to-year trends will be clearer in the full 2019 report, the drop in hip-hop is striking: Of the second quarter’s 15 new arrivals in the Top 10, just 34% were hip-hop as opposed to 60% last year — a drop of some 26% — while the percentage of pop new arrivals more than doubled to 49% from 23%. R&B/soul remained at 11% while other genres were 3% or below. The arrival of two new songs from Taylor Swift and one each from BTS and Ava Max certainly strengthened the pop category in Q2, although two new songs each from Drake and Khalid bolstered hip-hop and R&B, respectively.

In hip hop in general probably but not in mainstream music. What will happen is rap will take a break from the mainstream and replaced by something else. But in the genre it will still be trap mostly. Then in the mid to late 2020s, rap will come back into the mainstream with a brand new fresh sound that is better and completely different and replace trap (this new genre will have its roots in the early '20s). But for the mainstream music charts, trap will be completely wiped out by this time of next year along will rap music in general and replaced with another genre in the mainstream. Mark my words.

In the mainstream, rap will die out if trap dies out. It is never the same genre with a different sound it would be weird then. But I think there will be new sounds and genres. And in the far future like in 10 years a new sound of rap will come and sound nothing like trap. The whole lo-fi thing people talk about sounds really similar to trap to me and modern and not different. It will be something else.

Felt like there was way more creativity and diversity in music and not just trap but some pop too. Was there trap and mumble rap in the mid 2010s (2014 and 2015)? Absolutely. But nowhere near as much as now and it wasn't the only thing on the charts. Trap is still very dominant, even if it may be slowly declining. It's still very, very big right now more than ever before.

Exactly what I'm trying to say, mumble rap is slowly declining, but how slow? VERY SLOW, it's just like a 10% drop, but that's it. I do disagree however with "Theres not much mumble rap in 2014-15," I remember when OT Genesis, Fetty Wap, Future, Rae Sremmurd, Rich Homie Quan, Chief Keef, etc. They were very big in 2015, and I remember them rapidly rising in popularity around September 2014, and ohh boy it was weird. At first, I didnt mind it and I thought it was funny, but around mid-2015, it got really annoying. We didnt call it mumble rap though, we just simply called it "Bad Rap Songs," for Early Mumble Rap.

But not as much on the mainstream back then as there is now. The late 2010s are the peak of mumble rap in the mainstream I think. 2014 and 2015 was dominated by teen pop on the radio so there was more diversity with teen pop, trap, and adult contemporary pop all on the charts.

I do disagree however with "Theres not much mumble rap in 2014-15," I remember when OT Genesis, Fetty Wap, Future, Rae Sremmurd, Rich Homie Quan, Chief Keef, etc. They were very big in 2015, and I remember them rapidly rising in popularity around September 2014, and ohh boy it was weird. At first, I didnt mind it and I thought it was funny, but around mid-2015, it got really annoying. We didnt call it mumble rap though, we just simply called it "Bad Rap Songs," for Early Mumble Rap.
We just said trap or Southern rap back then. I remember Bobby Shmurder Hot Boy was huge in mid 14.
