These explosion sounds come from Minecraft, the sandbox game released by Mojang in 2011. Players know them from TNT blasts, creeper explosions and other destructive moments in gameplay. Online, the sound spread through Minecraft compilations, short gaming edits and meme videos because it instantly signals that something went very wrong. It still gets used often because even people who do not play regularly can recognize the game's distinct explosion audio and connect it with surprise, loss and comedic chaos.
