Hamilton is a Broadway musical created by Lin-Manuel Miranda that opened in New York in 2015 and retells the life of Alexander Hamilton through hip-hop, R&B and traditional show tunes. Aaron Burr, the show's narrator and Hamilton's eventual rival, is one of its most quoted characters, and short vocal clips of Burr have circulated widely among theatre fans online. They are reused in fan edits, reaction videos and memes because the character's calm, calculating presence contrasts sharply with Hamilton's ambition, giving editors a quick way to signal rivalry, scheming or a dramatic turning point.
