This sound is tied to Devil May Cry 5 meme culture, where dramatic music cues and especially the "storm" association became a staple of flashy character edits.

It stays popular because the joke works instantly, especially in gaming clips, power-scaling memes and fake-censored videos that parody high-drama montage editing.
