The clip is described as a scream from a Backrooms stalker video on YouTube, tying it to the Backrooms creepypasta and liminal space horror trend that spread widely online in the early 2020s. In that context the stalker is an entity that hunts wanderers in endless yellow rooms, and a human scream sells the encounter. Short horror screams like this were then lifted into soundboards and meme edits, where the Backrooms association adds instant dread even when viewers have not seen the original video.
