Hassoun circulates mainly as a TikTok trend sound, where its Arabic name and sad tag have made it easy to find for editors building emotional or ironic edits. Rather than depending on a single viral video, it has spread through reuse: creators drop the same short clip into different stories of disappointment, rejection and bad luck, letting the shared mood do the work. That repeatability is why it has stayed useful, especially in Arabic-language meme culture, where a familiar sad sound can signal the joke without further explanation.
