Little is documented about the origin of Ge 2 beyond its title, which combines the Chinese character 葛 with the number two, and its circulation as a short music upload on user generated soundboards. At around fifteen seconds it belongs to a large group of briefly titled clips that spread because they are easy to preview, save and reuse rather than because of a known performer or scene. Editors keep returning to it as a neutral musical cue that can suggest intrigue or a change of direction without tying a video to a specific song.
