Get the carrot-wavingmug. 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."

Get the Tidal Wavemug. 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.

Get the Now Wavemug. A rare type of electromagnetic wave, it can either be stronger than Gamma Rays or weaker than infrared waves. Rizz waves are only in certain specimens. Those who have more rizz than the above average will at some point have rizz waves. If you a lot of rizz, you will have gamma stronger rizz waves if not you will have weaker than infrared waves. Rizz waves were first theorized by scientists in the 1890s but were forgotten until their research was discovered in Baltimore in 2017.
