The beat comes from Queen's 1977 anthem We Will Rock You, written by Brian May for News of the World to give audiences a part they could physically perform. Its stomp stomp clap pattern moved from rock concerts into stadiums worldwide, where rugby and other sports crowds adopted it for walkouts and chants. Online it survives as a shorthand for building pressure alongside crowd cheering clips, used in edits long after the original album era because the rhythm needs no explanation.
