Earrape edits grew out of online meme culture, where creators deliberately distorted familiar pop songs to make them louder, harsher and funnier than the original. Dua Lipa's polished, dance-pop sound made her intros an easy target for that treatment, because the contrast between the sleek production and the blown-out clip is immediate. The style spread through short-form video, Discord soundboards and reaction edits, where a few seconds of distortion can signal chaos or irony without any explanation. It remains popular because that contrast still lands instantly, even for viewers who do not recognise the original track.

A loud, distorted earrape version of a Dua Lipa intro, made for meme edits and reaction videos. Creators drop it for sudden reveals and comedic jumpscares.
This clip takes the opening of a Dua Lipa track and pushes it into earrape territory, with the volume boosted, the bass distorted and the high end clipped until it sounds harsh, blown out and deliberately overwhelming. The familiar pop melody is still recognisable underneath the noise, which is part of the joke, because the listener expects a smooth, polished intro and gets a sudden wall of sound instead. Played at full volume it feels abrupt and funny rather than musical, turning an ordinary entrance, reveal or cut into something chaotic, exaggerated and impossible to ignore.
