The Binding of Isaac is an indie roguelike dungeon crawler first released in 2011, known for its dark humour, randomised runs and intense boss fights. Earrape edits like this one are a separate online trend, where fans take a recognisable game sound and distort it to extreme loudness for comedy. Shared on soundboards and in short-form edits, the joke depends on contrast: a familiar game moment suddenly becomes uncomfortably loud. That shock value keeps it popular with Isaac players and meme editors who want an instant reaction.
