The sound was developed in the American South, particularly in and around Atlanta, in the late 1990s, and came to be known as trap by the early 2000s. Popular through the first decades of the 21st century. In the 2010s, the trap sound came to dominate most commercial rap music, as well as much pop music. The term 'trap' refers to trap houses - gutted out houses reserved for storing and dealing drugs.
