In 2012, new styles and developments of electronic music which incorporated elements of trap music began gaining popularity, especially online. These styles infused elements from house, hardstyle, dubstep, drum and bass and various electronic dance music genres with trap music's typical distinguishing features. Electronic producers, such as Diplo, Baauer, TNGHT, and Flosstradamus expanded the popularity of these developments of trap music, gaining the attention of electronic music fans. The music was initially dubbed simply as 'trap' by producers and fans, causing confusion as the electronic developments of trap were not given a separate name, which led to the term 'trap' being used to address the music of both rappers and electronic producers. .
