Abstract

From the studies of popular youth in Chile, the research delves into the territorial experience of the youth that inhabit the outskirts of Santiago through their musical productions. The methodology is framed within community psychology, specifically from a socio-constructionist perspective. This analytical strategy uses an aestheticnarrative and content combination for the analysis of the Trap video clips. Among the most relevant findings are the importance of the relationship with the mother, their child abuse experiences, religion and the relationship with the peer group. We conclude that the trap in Chile contributes to the communicational circuit of the periphery, allowing us to characterize the juvenile subject of the trap as a relevant and historically situated social actor.
