The Fall Of TRAPT : The Most Hated Band In America | Bronze

In 2002, the band Trapt emerged on the scene with their hit song "Headstrong", which received abundant air play and impressive chart success. However, this band is more well known nowadays for the social media use and political ineptitude of their lead singer, Chris Taylor Brown. This feature length descent into madness covers the entire scope of their career. From their humble beginnings as a Californian post-grunge act, to their rapid rise in popularity, to their slow decline into irrelevancy and musical monotony, and to Brown's infamy as a failed political provocateur widely mocked by the online music community.

Did this video go the way you wanted? 😂 do something with your life, man 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@BronzeShow]

Hello Chris. If there's any information I got wrong in the video I implore you to let me know. Despite my feelings towards your previous behavior, I did end up enjoying some of the music I listened to, and I strived to be as fair and in depth as possible in terms of telling your band's story

[@SRVishere]

Hello Trapt, I am your biggest fan. Please make conservative Gangnam Style.

[@HattieJosh]

Wah. Cry more Chris

[@therealsmalk]

This was an analysis, not a hit piece. It's actually quite honorable.

[@Henry5623]

Great retrospective of the band and it's subsequent downfall. You know you're doing something right when the very band in question comments on your video. Which, in my mind, is both an accomplishment all in itself, to get the attention of a globally known and recognized band. But also, further proves that any disparaging thoughts or options derived by the video are factually true. Proof of this? The context of Chris's low-brow comment he left on this video lol Some people just can't get out of their own way... Once again, great video.

[@VashVenus]

I actually really love Trapt, I couldn’t pick a song of theirs that I don’t like at least a little bit. The lead singer speaks his mind and I can appreciate that even if I don’t agree, everyone’s got different opinions though. Nickelback is arguably way, way worse. The Trapt self titled album is completely overshadowed by its first track but I think this is one of my most favorite albums ever, I’d put it next to Read Music/Speak Spanish (Desaparecidos)and The Anti Mother (Norma Jean) in my top 3 albums of all time

[@matthew-dq8vk]

Jesus christ dude. You have terrible terrbile taste in music.

[@Quaglander]

2 HOURS OF BRONZE, LET'S GOOOO

[@thetonytaye]

I could've sworn that so much of what you said about Trapt's sophomore record was the same as what you said about Smash Mouth's self-titled... was this intentional??

[@BronzeShow]

I may have intentionally written in as many connections between them as possible into the video

[@PaulSeymour-ng8il]

How long till he threatens to sue you too lmao

[@nighthawk9532]

I like a few of their songs from their albums, it’s too bad that he couldn’t keep his big mouth shut and his opinions to himself, it pains me in a way that Trapt was a part of my music journey into rock music and eventually getting me to like heavier music as a Teenager, I’ll still jam to a handful of Trapt songs every now and then but this whole situation with the lead singer is just sad and I don’t agree with most of the dudes takes either, man 2020 was a fever dream there was definitely something in the water

[@ParkourEddy]

I guessed it, It Was TRAPT

[@Thatguy55595]

Trapts tweet about being in the Tony hawk game wasn’t photoshopped he tweeted that. He was lying on purpose and going along with it just for attention lol

[@BronzeShow]

I found no evidence for the tweet being real in my research, and I kind of doubt its real based on the tweets wording. If you have a source for this information it would be greatly appreciated

Fire, End of my rope, come together colab with an0maly are epic and they got a lot more and to start the vid with nickelback who has excelled tremendously aside from any hate both are incredible bands and music is expression so is free speech so to judge to band by a personal belief of the lead is ridiculous either like the music or don’t and move on while they rock on
