Futurama is an animated science-fiction sitcom created by Matt Groening that first aired in 1999, with music by Christopher Tyng throughout its run. The end title is the music heard over the closing credits, a shorter companion to the better-known opening theme. As clips, edits and memes from the show spread online, fans began lifting the outro for their own videos because it instantly signals Futurama without needing dialogue. It remains popular for endings and nostalgic edits because the melody is instantly recognisable to viewers who grew up with the series.
