From Wikipedia

Rage (also known as rage music, rage beats or rage rap) is a subgenre of trap music that originated in the United States in the late 2010s. The early rage sound was characterized by short, looping, stereo-widened, future bass-influenced synthesizer lead hooks and basic, energetic trap rhythms. Among the early pioneers of rage rap were Playboi Carti, Lil Uzi Vert and Trippie Redd. Producer F1lthy helped develop a template for the style through his collective Working on Dying with members such as Bnyx.
