Among Us was released by Innersloth in 2018 and exploded in popularity in 2020, turning words like sus and sussy into everyday gaming slang. Producers began remixing its tense lobby and emergency music into trap beats, with the Leonz bass boosted version becoming a staple for drip edits where characters are shown in stylish outfits. The combination of a recognisable game motif, heavy bass and meme language helped it spread across TikTok, YouTube Shorts and Discord soundboards, where it remains a shorthand for calling out suspicious behaviour.
