===SoundCloud Rap===
SoundCloud played a pivotal role in the rise of a hip-hop subgenre widely known as '''SoundCloud rap'''. SoundCloud was especially popular with hip-hop artists and fans, leading to the rise of a genre dubbed SoundCloud rap. SoundCloud rappers developed their own sound and subculture. Songs often featured lyrics that were repetitive, unclear, or technically distorted, and many emcees sported striking facial tattoos and brightly dyed hair. SoundCloud rap was the hip-hop of Generation Z, and its attitude, fashion, and do-it-yourself ethic led some to recall the punk revolution in rock. 

SoundCloud rappers Lil Uzi Vert and Post Malone went on to massive mainstream success. Tragically, some of the biggest names in SoundCloud rap died as their careers were just beginning. XXXTentacion was only 20 years old when he was murdered in 2018, and Juice WRLD died of an accidental drug overdose days after his 21st birthday in 2019.
