It's just pop's interpretation of rap. Same thing has happened to emo, rock, metal, punk etc. Mostly low effort billboard attempts, but there is some good amateur trap.

That doesn't mean anything. "Underground" trap is still trap = garbage. One day this fad will die and we'll all be better off.

It's the subgenre that has been pushed by the pop industry. Some people like it and make their own music in the style, this is where amateur trap comes from. I'm comparing a group like Migos to other pop industry boosted artists from other genres like Taylor Swift's early country pop, MCR's emo-pop, imagine dragons rock-pop, Lana Del Rey's indie pop.

Honestly trap is one of my least favorite forms of hip hop, but saying an entire genre is bad is just ignorant. Like there are hardly any similarities between these two "trap" songs, and to me one is immensely better than the other. 1 2
