Main Idea: 
What is Trap music? Trap music is a form/style of hip hop music. Trap music is everywhere.T fist emerged coming primarily from the south, a genre filled with a hard attitude that you can feel in the sound of the brass, triangle, triplet hi hats, loud kicks, snappy snares and low end 808 bass samples that are used when composing tracks.

Evidence that supports the main idea:
"From hip-hop to pop to EDM and beyond, the sound of trap music is everywhere. A cursory look at the Billboard charts—just this week Migos' Culture II went to No. 1—proves that.But what, if you had to explain it, is the sound of trap? What signifies “current” to someone listening to music today? The simplest answer? It’s the hi-hat."

"The way trap music uses hi-hats is unique. The sound is a busy, short burst. The hats are programmed in complicated patterns, at rapid-fire speed—faster than any human could ever play it—usually contrasting with a relatively simple and pared down drum patterns on the kick and snare drum. To find out how that simple, rapid, rolling sound came to dominate nearly every corner of popular music today, we’ve got to go back to 1980."
