The SE-GA chant became famous through Sega home consoles, where a short version played when the system started and introduced players to the brand before a game began. As retro gaming grew online, clips of the sound were shared in edits, remixes and reaction videos, turning a corporate jingle into a shorthand joke for anything old-school, dramatic or suddenly impressive. Its two-syllable chant is easy to recognise and even easier to quote, which is why it still appears in memes and gaming content decades after the consoles themselves left living rooms.
