Punk rap

Punk rap is a music subgenre of hip-hop influenced by the rebellious ethos, and sometimes, musical characteristics, of punk rock. The genre has been described as also being influenced by styles such as trap music, heavy metal and lo-fi music.

One of the earliest proponents of the scene was Odd Future, due to their merging of hip-hop and shock humor. In an article for the BBC, journalist Thomas Hobbs referred to the rise of the genre as being a rebellion against the politics of the period, with artists showing disdain for topics such as Brexit, the presidency of Donald Trump and global warming.
