Wave

"Wave" is a genre characterized by its dark, emotive soundscapes and experimental approach to electronic music. Emerging in the 2010s, wave music combines elements of trap, cloud rap, and chillwave, often featuring lush, reverb-drenched synths, heavy, distorted basslines, and atmospheric vocal processing. Wave artists frequently incorporate elements of ambient and drone music, creating a sense of sonic unease and tension. The genre's early popularity was fueled by the internet and social media platforms, where artists could share their DIY productions and connect with a global community. Wave's cultural significance lies in its reflection of millennial anxieties and its rejection of mainstream hip-hop's glossy, commercialized sound. With its emphasis on mood and texture, wave music has drawn comparisons to witch house and vaporwave, but its unique blend of trap's rhythmic intensity and chillwave's dreamy atmospherics sets it apart.
