For hard trap: use aggressive, booming 808s, menacing, hard-hitting drums, dark atmosphere. For melodic trap: use emotional piano loops, auto-tuned vocals, atmospheric pads, introspective. The key difference is whether you emphasize aggression or melody in your tags.
Use specific descriptors: heavy 808, booming 808, deep sub-bass, distorted 808, sliding 808. Avoid just saying bass — Suno needs trap-specific bass language. Adding bass-heavy and sub-bass emphasis helps Suno understand you want that characteristic trap low-end.
