The exact origin of this cracked ka-boom is unclear, which is common for user-uploaded earrape edits. It follows the bass-boosted meme sound trend where creators take a simple boom and push it through heavy compression, clipping and low-end saturation until it distorts. Those blown-out versions spread through meme compilations, gaming montages and shitpost edits because the harshness itself became the joke. Today it survives as a utility loud sound, reused whenever a creator wants an explosion that feels broken, excessive and deliberately too loud.
