Have any of you guys heard of the hip new thing out there called 'Wave'?

I’ll be satisfied when 2814 is a brand and I can buy a faded T-shirt with the cover of 新しい日の誕生 on it at target

lol

Honestly I'm just burnt out on trap beats as a rhythmic framework, especially for instrumental music

2 old 4 beats

I mean obviously yeah, but also just obsessed with club beats that make me/other ppl want to dance.

I recognize that thinking a form is exhausted is a sure sign of getting old. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

my 12 year old would like this stuff. he listens to endless anonymous lofi hip-hop mixes on youtube. those 24 hour channels "to work/study to".

"Music to work to" was what I was thinking.

this music strikes me - perhaps unfairly - as very commercial

whenever i see a video for this type of music on youtube i feel like i'm watching an ad

It's not an aggressively anti-commercial aesthetic by any stretch but I don't think it's more commercial than half of what gets discussed on here?

i heard some of it but _somebody_ kept playing novelty singles by radio 1 djs and i had to bail to save my sanity

I’ve heard of wavewave but not wave

this is making me really much angrier than i thought it would

although

i think you're wrong to think many ilxors would go for this

it fundamentally lacks...well, anything

sund4r i don’t mean commercial in the sense that a taylor swift record is commercial, i mean it more in the sense of being pure background / elevator music
