i should say i still enjoy a good b-line, a bit of oozy low end, as much as ever
having listened to trap mostly via the radio through a not terribly good car audio set-up, and also off my computer, when i recently upgraded my computer speakers and got this enormous black block of a sub-woofer - i was knocked out by how much bass is contained on those records still. the Auto-Tune wavery vocals and the IDM-ish wistful melody loops and the ambient sound-design catch your ear in a lot of listening contexts, then those mid-pitched snare and hi-hat rolls. But they are still investing a lot of attention in the low end of the spectrum, despite the medium being soundcloud, spotify etc etc
when i was trying out the subwoofer for the first time with Migos and that type of thing, the door in this sort of rickety shed-like room at the front of the house that serves as my workspace, it was shaking in its frame and making a horrible rattling sound - the window glass was wobbling. exciting / alarming!
i suppose what's gone for me though is that feeling that i had with especially jungle but the whole spectrum really, of bass as dangerous - like you really did feel like there was some connection between the visceral impact and social-energy shockwaves
it felt like power... and there was a fairly easy connection that suggested itself between sub-bass and what the academics called sub-altern populations
