Vuurwerk is the Dutch word for fireworks, and clips under this name circulate widely around New Year celebrations in the Netherlands and Belgium. Fireworks are traditionally set off at midnight on Oud en Nieuw, as well as at festivals, football celebrations and local fairs throughout the year. Short recordings like this spread on soundboards and in video edits because a few seconds of bangs and crackle can instantly signal celebration in any language. The sound remains popular for party content, countdowns and meme edits that need a big, joyful ending.
