Undertale is the 2015 indie role-playing game by Toby Fox, known for its memorable soundtrack and characters, and its music has been widely remixed and shared online ever since. Earape versions, which take a familiar sound and distort it to an extreme volume, became a common internet joke format for surprising viewers and mocking overly loud edits. This style remains popular because the contrast between a recognisable tune and harsh distortion is instantly understood, even without context, making it a quick punchline for gaming memes and reaction videos.
