Geddan became widely known through Japanese meme culture in the late 2000s, especially on Nico Nico Douga, where creators paired the audio with simple looping dance animations. The meme spread into anime fandoms, MAD edits and reposts across video platforms, helped by how easy the dance was to recreate with almost any character image. It is still used because the rhythm and repeated movement make the joke instantly recognizable to longtime meme fans, much like To be Continued (jojo) signals a dramatic punchline in anime edits.
