MLG, short for Major League Gaming, became a mid-2010s montage parody style built on fast cuts, airhorns, and over the top editing of games like Call of Duty. Within that scene, short sad music stings were used as the opposite of the hype sounds, scoring botched plays as if they were tragedies. The clip spread through YouTube edits, Vine compilations and soundboards, and it sits in the same ironic sad music tradition as the Naruto Sad Song, which is why both are still paired with mock dramatic moments.
