As any great rave rat knows, raging your face off at trap-fests comes with dire consequences. While there is no sufficient evidence backing up the claim that trap music is demeaning to your intelligence, it does not take an Einstein to figure out that this genre of music is not easy on the cerebral lobes.The sudden increase in popularity of Trap “music” is concerning because of how little medical research has been done to deem this combustion of sounds safe.

Please do not take this as a slight on music as a whole; it is a great way to express yourself in a creative way that other aspects of writing simply do not allow. With that being said, not every kid is going to have the same musical taste as I do, which is why I try to refrain from judging the songs that other people listen to. However, trap music is just a glorified version of various metals clanking with one another and makes me question how well that expresses any individual. If these noises truly relate to anyone, that person has a much more serious problem than just the style of “music” he or she listens to.The amount of anger poured into these songs is not paralleled by any other genre, not even the hatred-fueled death metal or the vexation-ridden screamo genres.

To go along with the general music most likely not being beneficial to our health, the environment surrounding this lifestyle can be even more detrimental to your future. The so called “rave rats” that you might find yourself affiliated with at these trap-fests most likely are not the cream of the crop of our generation to begin with. They are not made any more genius by the substances that they often intake at these gatherings either.

I cannot stress enough that the assumptions I am making have no factual evidence and the conclusions being drawn to are purely from logical reasoning. Based off the group of people that attend these events, we can determine that the conversations at raves hardly have the most intelligent content. Perhaps the people and the environment you are surrounded by while listening to Trap music is equally dangerous as the music itself. So the next time you want to listen to metals banging and churning at an excessive volume and rate, watch the Transformers movies with surround sound, this is a much safer alternative to visiting an actual rave while still maintaining an equivalent artistic value. Even Megatron and his fellow decepticons are less dangerous than some of the craziest ravers you might find at a trap-fest.

The great thing about music is that it allows every individual to have their own opinions and ideas. While trap music may sound irritating and harmful to the general population, if you take pleasure from these noises then by all means indulge yourself in this style of music. My only advice is to proceed with caution, since sufficient evidence deeming this style of music as safe is yet to be seen.

Trap music has grown in popularity exponentially throughout recent months and while it may seem premature, we have nothing short of a global epidemic on our hands. These consequences are dire and make listening to this “music” a very poor choice. So please, before you decide that you want to rage to some trap music, think for a second about those who love you and how much you mean to them. Your family, your friends, they all care about you too much to let you go down such an ornery path that leads to nothing but trouble.
