This sound is associated with Undertale, the 2015 indie RPG created by Toby Fox, where Flowey is one of the game's most recognizable characters. Very short Undertale effects spread widely in fan edits, gameplay clips, and meme compilations because they are easy to sync with damage or surprise moments. The Flowey hit sound remains useful online because it is instantly readable to players, fits retro-style video edits, and delivers a clean impact in less than half a second.
