Maybe i'm reading into things too much, but over the past few weeks, I've been noticing what could potentially be the start of a new trend in music. It seems like the Emo scene is starting to have a bit of an influence on new releases, particularly in terms of overall aesthetics and the structure of the compositions.
This new sub-genre of Trap music, colloquially known as "Trap-Metal", is really starting to gain momentum in the underground. Scarlxrd is at the forefront of the new sub-genre and his most popular song has over 30 million views on YouTube. He will be performing at the Reading Festival next month, which is one of the biggest festivals in the UK and has been host to some of the most popular bands of all time, such as Pink Floyd, The Rolling Stones, The Who and Nirvana. Apparently 6IX9INE and Rico Nasty have released similar tracks to this in recent months as well, but I haven't listened to any songs released by those artists.
I could definitely see this style of hip-hop becoming popular on the Top-40 charts. Lil Uzi Vert and XXXTentaction are/were both regarded as "emo rappers" and they have been massively successful in the mainstream over the past 6-12 months.
"Jumpsuit" was released only a week ago. It notably has an alternative-rock/indie sound and the final chorus is screamed. The song is currently at #10 on the US iTunes Chart and it is within the Top-20 highest trending videos on YouTube.
This was only released a few days ago. The guitar chords in this sound exactly like the piano notes in "Welcome to the Black Parade" by My Chemical Romance, the only difference being that the chords in the former are at a faster pitch and it goes up a note. Ironically, the lyrics of both songs start with the words, "when I was".
