"Post-Trap" denotes a broad spectrum of active artists who saw success following Trap Rap's initial wave of underground popularity from the early 2000s to the mid 2010s. By 2015, artists began to diversify the genre through forgoing its lyrical and sonic similarities with Gangsta Rap, choosing instead to prioritize melody, atmosphere, and experimentation. This change in direction was accompanied by a wide array of influences such as Pop Rap, Experimental Hip Hop, Post-Industrial, Cloud Rap, Alternative R&B and Synthpop.
While technically proficient lyricists are not uncommon, performances are typically simplified and often centered around a singular hook, with autotune and reverb being used to enhance the music's atmospheric and melodic qualities. The application of autotune to the performer's voice in a pop context is an aesthetic choice largely borrowed from Kanye West and Kid Cudi's late 2000s output, whom many have cited as having a sizeable impact on their music.

Get the Post-Editing mug.A thirsty, attention-seeking post on social media made intentionally vague to alarm people or just get people to feel bad for them.
Betty checked-in to her doctor's office on FB, vaguely stating, "One of two appointments today." Prompting concerned people to comment "What's going on?" Or "Hope everything is ok." Betty either did not reply or wrote, "PM me." Come on Betty, that was a Parched Post.
Brittany posted on social media last night, "So done with fake people." But she's too chicken to actually name these fake people. Parched Post!
Louise lamented on FB that is was her birthday and no one remembered. Poor Louise. Louise is looking for empty happy birthdays from old classmates and co-workers she hasn't seen in years. What a Parched Post.
