Lucid Dreams was released by Juice WRLD in 2018 and became one of his biggest songs, built around a melancholic guitar loop and lyrics about heartbreak and betrayal. The screaming version reworks that well known chorus into a meme format, replacing the polished vocal with an unrestrained shout. Clips using the sound spread across TikTok and short form video, where creators pair the build up with an ordinary moment before the scream hits. Its popularity comes from instant recognition, as most listeners know the melody before the punchline arrives.
