Its popularity comes from how quickly it communicates a very specific joke in barely over a second.

It is still used because viewers instantly recognize the reference and the sudden dramatic tone.
About this sound
A short King Crimson meme sound used in dramatic edits and JoJo-style punchlines, usually to signal a sudden cut, skip, or confusing moment.
This clip is a very short King Crimson meme sound, typically used as a dramatic sting in fast edits. It has the kind of abrupt, ominous feel people add right before a sudden cut, visual skip, or confusing transition. Because the audio is so brief, it works more like a punchy cue than a full quote or scene. Viewers usually read it as a signal that something weird, unexpected, or reality-bending just happened, which gives the edit an inside-joke energy for anime and meme audiences.
