The Rock is the ring name of Dwayne Johnson, a former professional wrestler turned film actor whose confident persona has made him a long-running subject of internet memes. Bass-boosted edits grew out of earrape meme culture, where familiar clips are pushed to distorted extremes for comic effect, and this version follows that pattern by making the low end the joke itself. It circulates mainly in short-form videos, reaction edits and soundboards, alongside wrestling memes such as John Cena, because its instant recognition and exaggerated volume work even without context.
