what is "TRAP" as opposed to "RAP?"

Trap is rap about selling drugs. Selling drugs is a "trap" or "trappin" in the verb sense. In the 90s we called it "hustle rap".. but what is djent??

I remember this coming up in music discussions ages ago. I even used to know what it meant, but I didn't remember any of it until I read the title of this thread.

Djent /ˈdʒɛnt/ is a style of heavy metal music that developed as a spinoff of traditional progressive metal. The word "djent" is an onomatopoeia for the distinctive high-gain, distorted palm-muted guitar sound most notably employed by bands like Meshuggah and Sikth.

Diskaholics post says it all. Though i used to use 80 gauge on my six string so my bottom three were probably the same as a standard 8string. Am i djent?

some of it is decent.

its just doing what nu metal did at the time - heavy simple rock designed to be as heavy, brutal and simple as possible. no harm in that. most of it is mediocre of course.
