A genre or subgenre of music that emphasizes percussion as the primary focus, often elevating drums from a background rhythmic role to a lead melodic or emotional driver. Tracks in this style use aggressive, experimental, or unconventional drum patterns—often with glitchy, distorted, or high-intensity textures. It’s less about traditional melodies and more about impact, rhythm, and raw sonic energy.
Percussion Wave tracks can be found across hyperpop, experimental rap, trap, breakcore, and even ambient—if the drums are doing the talking, it qualifies. The genre often leans on techniques like the Machine Gun Kickwave, chaotic hi-hat runs, distorted snares, and unorthodox time signatures.
Coined by artist and producer Some Rando on YouTube (handle: @SomeRandoOfficial) in 2025, it emerged as a descriptor for a new wave of beat-making where percussion is king.

This track ain’t even got a melody—it’s just pure Percussion Wave. The kicks got more plot than a Netflix drama.

Typically a form that involves deception, most commonly shoving butter into someone and spreading it like a wave to form a galaxy wave that looks like butter. Usually, this is done to anger someone and make them have trust issues for the rest of their lives.
As a prank, I decided to do the butter wave on my friend, he slipped and cracked his head open because I didn't know butter was slippery.

A Porpoise Wave is the act in which each time the Porpoise jumps up and lands back into the water represents the dick, and the splash it makes represents her squirt.
