Crab Rave was released in 2018 by electronic producer Noisestorm through Monstercat, accompanied by an animated video of crabs dancing on a tropical island. The video quickly spread as a meme, with creators reusing the crabs and the track to soundtrack victories, celebrations, and absurd edits across YouTube and social media. Its simple, instantly recognisable hook helped it stay in circulation long after its release, especially in gaming montages and short-form comedy videos where a sudden burst of celebration fits the moment.
