Sicko Mode arrived on Travis Scott's 2018 album Astroworld, while Mo Bamba, released by Sheck Wes in 2017, exploded the following year. Fans turned the two inescapable party anthems into a running either-or question online, at college events and in group chats. The joke spread because asking people to choose forced an instant, often loud allegiance. It remains a shorthand for any forced choice between two overplayed favourites, even years after both songs left heavy rotation.
