Bye Bye Bye is a song by *NSYNC released in 2000, and it became one of the group's biggest hits. The chorus hook turned into a long-running meme sound online because the phrase and melody instantly signal rejection, leaving, or moving on. Short cuts of the track spread across video platforms in comedic edits, reaction posts, and transition clips. It still gets used because the title phrase is universally understood, and even a two-second snippet is enough for people to recognize the reference.
