Hail to the Chief is the traditional presidential theme song of the United States and is played to announce the arrival of the president at official events. The tune long predates modern internet culture, but online it became a shorthand for power, government, and exaggerated self-importance. That is why it shows up in political edits, satire, and entrance memes. Recordings by military and ceremonial bands helped make its sound especially recognizable to generations of listeners.
