OT: New Music (Released January 2020 or Later)

this is closer to pop punk than it is to trap. emo rap and trap are also the subgenres where a bunch of the artists are dying from opiod overdoses while in their teens/twenties after glorifying the use of xanax.
I Google searched emo rap opioid overdose and came up with a bunch of hits from 2018 and a justice department statement that tied emo rap to the opioid epidemic. Lil Peep was a big name. Is this a current thing, bc could not find anything related to opioids and emo rap newer than 2 years old.
 
Started in ATL and they referred to places drugs were sold/done as Trap Houses.
Anytime I hear a rapper with Young Or Lil in the name I think of trap music.
Lil Wayne rapped about cough medicine and now these guys rap about 12 bars of Xanax. Smh
Fun fact- Fetty Wap who sings Trap Queen was in my town at this cool cafe last week. Hope his girl was NOT taking any Thirst Traps. Bwhaha

I'm so out of it--thought it said Fetty Wrap, and that was something on the menu! Damn, I'm getting old.
Saw what @RUevolution36 said about Guardin being closer to pop punk, but what do I know. Sounds more rappish to me. The lyrics to that song are a real downer, but the lyrics do remind me of some early Rollins Band lyrics which open with "I hate the world that I think hates me. . . " Henry Rollins is now 61, fabulously successful and still not so well-adjusted. But he is alive, unlike most of the Seattle grunge artists.

well, NJ's own Fetty Wap was arrested last year as part of an opioid drug ring bust. DMX died of an OD, there have been others. the opioid problem isn't necessarily limited to just the emo rap subgenre, but they did have a large role in the glorification of it. Post Malone is another example of an emo rapper who has had more than a passing acquaintance with xanax.

This is trap in 2022. It's a scourge in the genre that will take a while to flush out of the system.

Marillion are my favorite band of all time, full stop. Bought my first album of theirs (cassette actually) in 1986 at Jack's Music in Red Bank, and I never looked back. Not an exaggeration to say they have had a significant impact on my life, as good music can. They just released their 20th studio album yesterday, and I will have have the house to myself this weekend. I cannot wait to listen to this album tonight.

 
Kinda reminds me of Veruca Salt.
Indeed they do. Thanks for posting. Momma will be touring with Snail Mail and will be at the Stone Pony (inside) on August 17. Listened to Snail Mail, but think Momma should be the headliner.

Saw Veruca Salt open for Hole in Bogart's in Cincinnati, Ohio in 1994. Memorable show, when Courtney Love dove off the stage, landing near/on me, knocking my wire-rimmed glasses off, that got mangled, and I wore them to my interview as a very buttoned-down place the next day--I did not dare tell them I was at the Hole/Veruca Salt concert the night before.

 
She has a lot of trust in that outfit😳. I love some of their cover songs

Her abdomen doesn't even look real. Looks like plastic Must be that body oil/sheen stuff thats popular.
I'm not that crazy about the video. Didn't get the blood thing. But Cannon likes to have fun and mess around. I was watching an interview of Michelle Joy and the interviewer kept asking her deepish questions about the genre they were outlining and Joy is like "We weren't even thinking about any of that. We were just having fun." Her speaking voice is different from what people expect. I thought she might sound like Gwen Stefani talking but shes mush deeper. In any case the band people see pretty likeable. Joy is a doll.
