Windows Media Center was Microsoft's entertainment hub for playing music, video and recorded TV, bundled with premium editions of Windows 7 after its launch in 2009. Its short startup identity became familiar to anyone who used a PC as a living room media system. Earrape edits later exaggerated that familiarity, boosting and distorting clean system sounds for comic shock value on video platforms and soundboards. This version survives as a nostalgic prank clip, combining affection for the Windows 7 era with the loud meme humor that followed.
