Argument for inclusion of Rapstep
This is a valid sub genre of music. It takes elements from too separate genres (hip hop and dubstep) to create a different sound. That being said, alot of the songs done in this style are remixes, but hip hop artists are moving towards incorporating dubstep into their music to create new original content. examples would be Cypress_X_Rusko, Anthemic and the 2009–present: Mainstream influence article notes others such as snoop_dogg and xzibit collaborting with dubstep producers]] ```` — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kittycolada911 (talk • contribs) 14:32, 26 December 2012 (UTC)
 * And none of those articles mentions rapstep. (Please don't edit them to add rapstep now, it will show up in the history). noq (talk) 16:40, 26 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Im a newb here (obviously) and just learned yesterday about secondary sources. I would not edit those articles to include rapstep. Its not that important to me, and that would be rather pretentious. However, I will see what I can find as far as sources. If nothing is there, then the term rapstep is just slang and not and worthy of an articleKittycolada911 (talk) 15:54, 27 December 2012 (UTC)

Concluding my research. Love to hear anyones EDUCATED opinion
I could only find a few blogs that talked about the term Rapstep. After some consideration, it seems that dubstep infused with hip hop was termed "rapstep" early in its inception, but very quickly evolved into whats known as trap_(music genre). So the contents of this article may only be a preface to the article about trap music.Kittycolada911 (talk) 18:35, 27 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Please remember WP:CIVIL. Just because someone disagrees with you doesn't mean that they are uneducated. Remember also that by your own admission you are new to Wikipedia, which means that you might not be as aware of what constitutes a reliable source. For a term to be considered anything other than a neologism a small group of people are applying to a certain form of music (which may or may not fall into a larger musical genre), you need to show that people are talking about this in reliable sources such as books, newspapers, television, and other sources included in WP:RS. While it's not like people come up with new names for various subgenres of music every couple of hours, it is more common nowadays to see people give new names to various musical forms. That a small group of people might use the term doesn't automatically mean it's notable enough for a separate article from the larger subgenre. Be careful about being too immediately defensive and insinuating that the reason for anyone's dissenting vote is a lack of education. It puts people on the defensive because they'll assume that you're going to act that way against any opposing viewpoint.Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)   07:03, 27 January 2013 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Trap (music genre), which seems to cover the same ground. Neologism that, despite being fairly obvious, does not seem to have gained much currency. Turns up in some blogs, but don't see anything in newspapers, magazines, or books. --Hobbes Goodyear (talk) 04:38, 14 January 2013 (UTC)
 * I agree, redirect. There seem to be no published online sources for this subject on its own.—Baldy Bill (talk) 21:10, 15 January 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete No WP:OR. No WP:NEO.  Just a curio, but "Country" and "Rap" are having a few mergings.  I wonder what neologism would come of that? Яεñ99 (talk) 04:45, 2 February 2013 (UTC)
