This sound is associated with Spider-Man 2099, also known as Miguel O'Hara, and became widely recognized after Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse released in 2023.

It is still popular because the cue is brief, distinctive, and easy to match with reaction edits, villain reveals, and confrontational punchlines in meme videos.
