Abstract

Abstract The article was first published in 2016 and uses philosophical conceptual tools (referring mostly to Gilles Deleuze and Friedrich Nietzsche) to analyse the phenomenon of trap music. The text does not discuss the questions of genre and music classifications but tries to capture the prevailing spirit and effect of trap music: trap is trap, pure tautology, pure reality, materiality and banality at the same time. Trap affirms what is, here and now. In this context, the author discerns the amoral and materialist philosophy in the background of the trap phenomenon. Even though trap seems an apolitical and conformist music, it can also carry implicit rebellious and anti-capitalistic potentials.
