American rapper 6ix9ine released Stoopid in 2018, and the exaggerated way he delivers the title word quickly became a recognisable meme sound in its own right. Short clips of the ad-lib spread through TikTok edits, gaming videos and reaction memes, where creators used it as a one-word judgement on foolish behaviour. Its brevity is part of the appeal, since it fits easily over a fail, a bad take or an awkward moment without interrupting the action, keeping it in regular use years after the track first appeared.
