Plugg
Musical signatures
Soft, dreamy synth and pluck-keyboard leads (the 'plugg' sound); bouncy mid-tempo trap drum patterns with skittering hi-hats and warm 808s; airy, melodic vibes; closely associated with mid-2010s SoundCloud and Atlanta-adjacent rap, and later evolving into 'pluggnb' (R&B vocals) and 'dark plugg' subvariants.
