Sonnenschein is the German word for sunshine, and the bass boosted treatment has become a familiar style in meme editing where familiar clips are exaggerated far beyond their original volume. Like the vine boom, this version is used online less for its literal meaning than for the contrast it creates, pairing a pleasant word with an overwhelming low end. Short bass boosted sounds spread through soundboards and short form edits because they work instantly without context, letting creators mark a reveal, a joke or a transition in under a second.
