N2  - The article considers the theme of urban subcultures and focuses on the evolution of hip hop subculture. Hip hop subculture is made up of elements such as writing, break-dance, djing and rap. Rap as a musical genre changes over time, with the affirmation, for example, of Gangsta-rap. Recently, the  Trap  music genre has also emerged. The main features of  Trap  are identifiable in the rhetorical  topoi  of violence, individualism, references to drugs and urban suburbs. The paper analyses these characteristics and relates them to traditional rap, highlighting what the  Trap  genre communicates about urban suburbs and marginal young people.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
