Running in the 90s is a Eurobeat track performed under the name Max Coveri, and it became closely associated with Initial D, the anime series about street racing in Japan. Its relentless tempo matched the show's downhill races so well that fans began reusing it far beyond the series itself. Through racing compilations, anime edits and short-form meme videos, the song turned into shorthand for anything moving improbably fast. It endures because the hook is instantly recognisable, the energy is unmistakable, and the joke lands even without any knowledge of the original show.
