The sting became famous as the ending cue for episodes of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, where the words To Be Continued appeared over a freeze frame as Roundabout by Yes began to play. Fans lifted that moment into a meme, using it to cap short videos, streams and edits with a cliffhanger. Its spread was helped by how instantly readable it is: viewers who have never watched the anime recognise the riff as a signal that something dramatic has just happened. It remains popular because the format never gets old, since any awkward pause can be turned into a joke ending.

The iconic To Be Continued meme sound, with a funky guitar riff that cuts a scene off at a cliffhanger. Creators use it to end videos with suspense or a twist.
This clip is the instantly recognisable To Be Continued sting, built around a bright, punchy guitar riff that starts abruptly and stops a moment just as suddenly. It feels like a record scratch for a dramatic pause, freezing the action at its most awkward or suspenseful point and leaving the viewer waiting for a resolution that never arrives. The music is upbeat and slightly cheeky rather than serious, so it turns even a small fail, a bold claim or an unexpected reveal into a cliffhanger. Played at the end of a short video, it signals that the story is not over, even when everyone knows it probably is.
