Among Us, the social deduction game from InnerSloth, exploded in popularity in 2020, and fans quickly turned its characters, slang and music into internet memes. Among Drip grew out of that wave as a fan-made trap remix that gave the crewmates a confident, hip-hop swagger, and it spread through YouTube edits, TikTok videos and gaming montages. It remains popular because the beat is instantly recognisable to players, works without any dialogue, and turns a simple sus moment into a joke that even non-players can enjoy.
