Short clips of it are widely recognized from sporting events, government ceremonies and school performances. Online, it remains popular because just a few seconds instantly communicate patriotism, formality or national symbolism. That makes it useful both for sincere tribute edits and for comedic videos that exaggerate the importance of an everyday moment.
