Dearly beloved: We are gathered here today to celebrate this thing called roséwave.
Since 2017, roséwave has been more than mere summer listening; it s been the catchall term for a way of living: the breezy sweatshirt-over-swimsuit days spent on the beach. The impromptu, late-night karaoke session with your ride-or-dies. The soundtrack to a generation-spanning family reunion featuring all your grandmother s classic recipes (and your cousins drinking games, too). As Lars Gotrich, its inventor, explained: Roséwave is a one-word joke I made on Twitter that was less about a genre (that does not exist) and more a lifestyle (that very much exists).

The early split being the logical end point of indie s cult of detachment?
