Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas was released by Rockstar Games in 2004, following Carl Johnson, known as CJ, returning to Los Santos. Each completed story mission triggers this short Respect + jingle, making it one of the most repeated sounds in the game. As Let's Play videos, edits and meme compilations grew online, creators lifted the sting to mark any real-life achievement. It is often grouped with other San Andreas memes like Aw Shit! Here go again. Its instant recognition and clear sense of reward keep it popular for win edits today.
