About Solo wave

Solo wave isn’t a widely established genre in music history, so I want to make sure I give you what you want.

Would you like me to:
- write a factual, grounded description of a real, existing genre (or a real subgenre that closely resembles what you have in mind for "solo wave"), or
- create a creative, fictional description of "solo wave" as a speculative microgenre (with its own birth story, ambassadors, key artists, countries where it’s popular), clearly labeled as fictional?

If you’d like the latter, I can deliver a polished 500-word piece that treats "solo wave" as a niche, self-identified movement—complete with a backstory, notable fictional artists, and plausible cultural context. Let me know which route you prefer and any tone or angle you’d like (academic, dreamy, journalistic, etc.).
