Trap
A trap is a device or setup designed to catch and hold animals, objects, or people by surprise or deception, often used in hunting or security. In modern contexts, it extends to metaphorical snares like tricky situations in life or business that ensnare unwary individuals, and it's also a vibrant genre of hip-hop music featuring heavy beats and rapid lyrics.

Believe it or not, the music genre 'trap' was born from the 1990s Atlanta drug trade, where 'trap houses' were spots for illegal dealings, and artists like T.I. popularized it into a worldwide phenomenon; by 2023, trap music had generated over $1 billion in streaming revenue, influencing superstars like Travis Scott and turning urban slang into a cultural empire.
