The phrase shiny and chrome comes from Mad Max: Fury Road, the 2015 film where the War Boys chase glory in battle and hope to enter Valhalla shining and chrome. Ride eternal captures that same do-or-die spirit in a few seconds, which is why editors use it for hype edits, gaming clips and meme videos. Its appeal has lasted because the line is short, quotable and instantly signals reckless bravery, making it an easy shorthand for a moment when a character refuses to back down.
