Punk rap is hip hop music influenced by the rebellious ethos, and sometimes musical characteristics, of punk rock.[2] The genre has been described as being influenced by styles such as trap music,[3] punk rock,[2] heavy metal[4] and lo-fi music.[4]

One of the earliest proponents of the scene was Odd Future, due to their merging of hip hop and shock humor.[5] In an article for the BBC, journalist Thomas Hobbs referred to the rise of the genre as being a rebellion against the politics of the period, with artists showing disdain for topics such as Brexit, the presidency of Donald Trump and global warming.[5]

[edit]

Some artists makes use of sonic elements of punk rock, such as screaming, whereas others make use of its attitude and melodic style.[2] Vulture described its origins as "the product of a convergence between Atlanta trap and the devilish eclecticism of Miami predecessors like SpaceGhostPurrp".[3] Lil Jon's harsh style of vocalization has also been cited as influence on the development of the genre.[5]

"It's what the game needs now; Someone who doesn't give a fuck about the rules and is just going to fuck shit up."

— Ski Mask the Slump God (2017)[6]

In a way, hardcore punk was a "radical departure"[7] from alternative and popular music of that era; this was because it was played "louder and harder,"[8] "wasn't verse-chorus rock," and "dispelled any notion of what songwriting is supposed to be [and] it's its own form"[9] punk rap songs share some of the "unorthodox" characteristics. They are "short, repetitive, wrapped in distortion and grimly effective."[6][10]
