Squid Game returned for Season 2 in December 2024, and the player vote after each game became one of its most copied mechanics. Players press O to continue or X to stop, and the X choice is confirmed with this blunt buzzer. Clips of the vote spread quickly on short video platforms, and editors lifted the buzz as a standalone rejection cue. It remains popular because the meaning is instant even without the show footage: one press, one buzz, and the answer is clearly no.
