A wave is a large uptick in occurrences of something. If that "something" is a positive thing, such as a wave of YouTube views, most people would be celebrating and enjoying every minute of it. If that "something" is a negative thing, such as a wave of mass shootings, it is terrible news and people would be sending "thoughts and prayers" (we all know how much you hate hearing those three words) and, if possible, thinking of ways to put an end to it. |

A wave is a large uptick in occurrences of something. If that "something" is a positive thing, such as a wave of YouTube views, most people would be celebrating and enjoying every minute of it.
