Trap’s futurism proves 2010s audiences did not subsist on nostalgia alone

Evidence

Trap’s dominance in hip-hop provided a sharp counterpoint to retromania. By rejecting the grooves of the sixties and seventies, trap reasserted a futurist aesthetic, suggesting that audiences could not subsist on nostalgia alone. — W. David Marx, Blank Space, 393

Categorization

• XREF: Directly supports the reader’s counter-case: the era’s signature may be a futurist turn Marx is misidentifying as pure retromania.
• SEED: Angle: trap as the era’s real signature — a futurist Black underground reclaiming the present while mainstream white pop stagnated in retro — gives the reader’s counter-argument its evidence base.
