Gooba was released in May 2020 as 6ix9ine's comeback single after his release from prison, and its aggressive hook quickly caught on beyond the song itself. The repeated question became a popular sound on TikTok and other short video platforms, where creators paired it with fails, bad opinions and gaming clips. Its blunt insult and catchy delivery made it easy to reuse without context. Years later it still appears in reaction videos and memes because the line works as an instant, recognisable way to call out foolish behaviour.
