These are just some of the genres in the last 20 years that have been created. There's a lot more. I'm not organizing these by cultural origins.

  • Trap
  • Originated in Atlanta in the early 2000s; distinctive fast hi-hat sound and heavy bass at moderate tempos.
  • Detroit Trap
  • Emerging in Michigan during the 2010s and incorporating upbeat 808 percussion derived from Trap music and dynamic, off-beat flows from rappers.
  • Drill
  • Originated in the South Side of Chicago in the early 2010s, distinguished by a heavy influence from the local Footwork style in its drum programming and a distinctive monotonous, drawling flow that is usually at least partially auto-tuned.
  • Bop
  • Grew out of the Chicago Drill scene in the early 2010s, characterized by autotuned vocals and upbeat synth melodies.
  • Sample Drill
  • UK Drill rhythms applied to more traditional Trap and Plugg percussion, using melodic and recognizable samples as the main compositional focus.
  • UK Drill
  • Deep bass and complex rhythm which denotes a Grime influence in the production.
  • Futuristic Swag
  • Playful, Snap-influenced and party-oriented.
  • Phonk
  • Influenced by an array of Hip Hop, including drum programming and other prominent features of 2010s Trap and percussion sounds and vocal samples of Memphis Rap.
  • Plugg
  • Use of sparse and minimalistic drum and hi-hat patterns, subby 808s and heavy low end, piano samples, airy pads, and icy synths.
  • Trap Metal
  • Features loud, distorted 808s and basslines, as well as aggressive vocals that are usually yelled or screamed.
  • Tread
  • High-tempo production, usually set around 160 to 190 BPM, icy synths, busy drum programming with distinctive 808 patterns, often implementing off-beat hi-hats in addition to trap's triplets and a fast style of lethargic rapping.
  • Dubstep
  • Characterized by half-time syncopated and sparse beats set around 140 BPM with heavy sub-basses; emerged in South London in the early 2000s.
  • Brostep
  • Offshoot of Dubstep which replaces its sub-bass-oriented sound with an emphasis on catchy or aggressive mid-range melodies.
  • Colour Bass
  • Combines aggressive wobbling basses with the euphoric drops of Melodic Dubstep and Future Bass.
  • Deathstep
  • Darker, heavier form of Brostep that uses "machine gun" basses, atonal synths, and elements from genres like Death Metal and Metalcore.
  • Drumstep
  • Dancefloor-friendly, loud, and heavy combination of the drum programming of Jump-Up with the half-time tempo and midrange LFO wobble of Brostep.
  • Riddim
  • Heavy use of repetition, wet and metallic sound design; frequently pulls inspiration from older Dubstep.
  • Chillstep
  • Relaxed Dubstep influenced by Downtempo and Ambient.
  • Dungeon Sound
  • Commonly features dark textures, spatial production, and midrange basses.
  • Melodic Dubstep
  • Melodious, tuneful drops, rich, lush synth leads, powerful stretched chords, and light and harmonious sound design.
  • Purple Sound
  • Emerged in the late 2000s out of the Dubstep scene of the time, incorporating synth leads and basslines inspired by 1980s Synth Funk and 1990s G-Funk, and Video Game Music, into a rhythmic palette mostly derived from dubstep and Grime.
  • Vapor
  • Meta-genre beginning with the rise of Vaporwave and the aesthetics that it spawned.
  • Dreampunk
  • Accentuates ambiance and a dreamy atmosphere within Vapor.
  • Future Funk
  • Sample-based form of House which formed out of Vaporwave in the early 2010s.
  • Hardvapour
  • Influenced by Hardcore [EDM] and Techno and made in response to the Vaporwave movement.
  • Utopian Virtual
  • Born out of Hypnagogic Pop that emulates late 20th century futuristic and corporate aesthetics, often using "tacky"-sounding MIDI-esque instruments, in contrast to the looping, sample-based approach generally found in Vaporwave.
  • Vaportrap
  • Incorporates a blend of Trap percussion set to the re-utilization of old samples, such as 1990s pop culture or old computer library sounds.
  • Vaporwave
  • Sample-based, involves heavily synthesized and processed manipulation of corporate mood and background (elevator) music; though source material can also include genres such as Pop, Contemporary R&B, and Synth Funk.
  • Broken Transmission
  • Uses samples taken from TV broadcasts, advertising, film, radio, and other sources - often slowing down and manipulating the sound heavily.
  • Mallsoft
  • Blends the main characteristics of Vaporwave with what can be described as background/elevator music.
  • Wave
  • Heavily influenced by 2010s Hip Hop production, characterized by dark, icy, nocturnal, and melancholic beats.
  • Hardwave
  • Harder, festival-oriented offshoot of Wave, combining its "reese" basses and icy synths with Trap [EDM] drum patterns, build-up-drop structures, and fuller sound influenced by Trance and Hardstyle.
  • Witch House
  • Nocturnal, occult-themed/horror-inspired, and murky beats with altered, slowed down and heavily processed samples laid on top of slow Hip Hop-derived drum rhythms and droning, dense synthesizers.
  • Minatory
  • Extreme, experimental style forked from Deathstep, with a harsh sound and sudden BPM changes.
  • Digital Cumbia
  • Mixes an Electronic sound into traditional Cumbia through influences from House, Dancehall, Hyphy, and Dubstep.
  • Electro latino
  • Originated by DJs in Dominican Republic during the late 2000s which adds a Latin twist to the global Dance-Pop sound.
  • Electrotango
  • Combines Tango rhythms and melodies with Electronic.
  • Nortec
  • Samples and synthesizes Mexican styles like Banda sinaloense and Norteo into a sound related to IDM and House.
  • Tribal Guarachero
  • Mix of traditional Hispanic American Music and Indigenous American Traditional Music with House and Techno influences.
  • Chillwave
  • Hazy, reverb-drenched atmosphere and lo-fi aesthetics; originated predominantly from the United States in the summer of 2009.
