Tread music is a subgenre of trap that began in Philadelphia in the mid-2010s. The genre is characterized by futuristic synthesisers, slowed down samples,[1] busier drum programming with distinctive 808 patterns, high tempo (usually set around 160 to 190), usually having off-beat hi-hats in addition to trap's triplets and a fast style of lethargic rapping. It's also usual for producers to take influences from Cloud rap such as lushy synth pads and reverb-heavy atmospheric production.[2]

The production collective known as Working on Dying is often associated with the genre as the term "tread" was coined by them from a mix they released in 2016 called "tread mixx".[1]
