Trap triste is a melancholic and emotive subgenre of Latin trap that originated in the mid-2010s in Argentina and Uruguay. Characterized by its slow tempo, often around 90 BPM, and introspective lyrics, trap triste features mournful melodies, minimalist production, and a focus on atmospheric soundscapes. The genre's distinctive sound is marked by the use of filtered, auto-tuned vocals and a blend of traditional Latin American instruments with electronic elements. Emerging from the streets of Buenos Aires and Montevideo, trap triste reflects the hardships and struggles of urban life, resonating with a generation of young people seeking catharsis and emotional release. Drawing from the introspection of emo and the sonic experimentation of cloud rap, trap triste has become a cultural phenomenon, providing a platform for artists to express their emotions and connect with a wider audience. Its influence can be seen in the fusion of Latin American rhythms with global trap and drill sounds, solidifying its place as a unique and impactful genre in the contemporary music landscape.
