In my personal opinion, the emergence of trap music brought a "dark cloud" so to speak over the city.

I didn't grow up in ATL but I lived 3hrs away and visited often.

But the common theme of my memories about Atlanta was how FUN the music was.

Yes, Atlanta has always been gritty just like any other big city, but the music was always fun and danceable. Even the ring tone era was about having fun and dancing.

Trap music brought about this dark cloud. Everything is about trapping, sipping lean, scamming, gang affiliation, etc.

Nobody makes "fun" music that the youth and grown folk alike can dance to.

But yea, Atlanta just doesn't feel the same to me any longer either.

Sounds like hip hop and the culture today doesn’t it?

I’ll never forget the first time I went to ATL to visit my boy in college out there. They played “laggy taffy” and “kryptonite”, and me being up north in college, I’d say it was quite the experience. The energy and happiness from the crowd was something else. Unmatched.
