Phonk developed in the 2010s from 1990s Memphis rap, chopped samples and lo-fi production, before a faster drift phonk offshoot spread through car culture videos online. Short phunk edits like this one became popular on TikTok and YouTube Shorts in the early 2020s, where creators looped the cowbell and bass drop under edits. The yara yara chant gives this version a memorable hook without needing lyrics, which helps it stay recognisable in crowded feeds and reusable across cars, gaming, sport and fashion edits.
