What defines wavy trap?
Wavy trap is named for a feeling more than a strict set of rules. The signature is the harmony: lush minor sevenths and major sevenths that give the beat a smooth, floating, dreamy quality. A trap beat and 808 sit underneath, but the mood is soft and reflective, often with a hint of R&B.
It grew up as much on social feeds as in studios, where beats get tagged wavy for that laid-back, melodic vibe. Get the chords right and the rest follows.
