Drift phonk is a subgenre of phonk, emerged in the late-2010s, but quickly gained traction through TikTok in 2020. It is characterized by the use of heavy bass, 808 cowbells (usually edited to play a melody), Memphis rap samples, and busy, compressed production. Drift phonk videos often use street racing imagery, which makes it popular in the online car community. Since the start of the 2020s, drift phonk has been fused with other genres such as house, and wave. Many drift phonk producers originate from Russia.
