a hand wave given commonly in rural areas between two people, often strangers to acknowledge friendliness. Usually a raised arm and a quick and short movement of the hand away from the body.

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.

1. A wave that is unbreaking and ongoing. Can be regular or modulated (as long as the modulations are themselves regular).
2. The ongoing gesture made by a friend, spouse, or other acquaintance whose ship is leaving the harbor.
3. The Wave happening inside a stadium that goes on for an unusually long time. This phenomenon is rare, and should be memorized like it's a double rainbow.

Examples:
1. A flashlight, the sun, and any other solid light.
2. Constant, ongoing sounds, such as the "beeeeeeeeep" tone marking someone's death at a hospital, a mosquito that just won't go away, a broken car horn after it has rear-ended somebody.
3. "For five solid minutes my friend continuously waved to the masses below as the ship moved away. He might have gone on waving then, but I didn't see him afterwards so I dunno."
4. Guy 1: "Remember that time The Wave broke out at the game a year ago? The one that went on for like five minutes?"
Guy 2: "Yeah, now that's what I call a continuous wave. You don't see shit like that every day."

The bastard child of No Wave, raised on blown-out amps, rusted distortion pedals, and YouTube rips of forgotten noise rock demos. Think modern no wave guitar skronk, noise rock tantrums, industrial clangs, and just enough rhythm to keep the basement mosh pit from collapsing into complete chaos.
