![]() During the 2010s, multiple artists and critics used the word "rage" in context of hip-hop, mostly either referring to overdriven energetic sound, or the moshpits happening at rap concerts, examples being Lil Uzi Vert's Luv Is Rage and Luv Is Rage 2 releases, and multiple sources calling 6ix9ine's and XXXTentacion's music "rage rap". ![]() ![]() The concept of "rages" at rap concerts and the use of the term "rage" in hip hop music predate the rage subgenre itself: the first person to use the term "rage" in context of hip-hop is said to be Kid Cudi, with his "Mr.Rager" alter-ego, which influenced Travis Scott who later adopted "rage" word and made it an important part of his own aesthetic. In the context of the title, "rage" means "moshpit". The name of the subgenre comes mainly from " Miss the Rage", a track made in 2021 by Trippie Redd and Playboi Carti, whose name references moshpits during rap concerts that Trippie Redd longed for during COVID-19 lockdowns. Among the pioneers of rage rap are rappers Playboi Carti, Lil Uzi Vert and Trippie Redd. Distinguishing features of rage rap include short repeating stereo-widened EDM-influenced and future bass-influenced looped synthesizer lead hooks and a basic trap rhythm. Rage rap (also called as rage-rap, rage beats or simply rage ) is an energetic microgenre of trap music.
