I'm not sure I follow some of their claims. Are they saying that the whole genre of trap music (which I consider a hybrid of hip-hop and electronic music) is just a way of "stealing Black culture and morphing it into a form that serves an outlet for your sexual fantasies"? Does that mean that a style of music belongs to a culture, and that its enjoyment among others means it is a ridicule of the culture it belongs to?

If it's the case that that's their argument, then I just don't buy it.




He/she is referring to that this fake Harlem shake from youtube has nothing to do with the real Harlem shake, a dance that's been around for 30 years.

Also, the term "trap music" for that electronic music isn't the original trap music either, see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GfPjYdef1lg
