Rage (also known as rage music, rage rap, or rage beats) is a microgenre of trap music that originated in the United States in late 2010s. Distinguishing features of rage include short looping stereo-widened future bass-influenced synthesizer lead hooks and basic, energetic trap rhythms. Among the pioneers of rage are rappers Playboi Carti, Lil Uzi Vert, Trippie Redd, and XXXTentacion, the latter of whom Trippie Redd has credited as an influence on the genre.
