Friday Night Funkin' is a free rhythm game in which players match on-screen arrows to music, and a distinct miss sound plays whenever an input does not land. The game gained a large online following through gameplay videos, fan mods and short-form edits, where its sounds became shorthand for rhythm game failure. The miss note in particular travelled beyond full playthroughs, because creators could reuse a single short clip to mark any mistimed moment. It remains popular as a quick, instantly understood signal for a mistake.
