Originally released by British grindcore band Napalm Death on their 1987 debut album Scum, You Suffer became famous as the shortest song ever recorded, lasting barely more than a second in its original form. Its entire lyric is a brief question about suffering, delivered at breakneck speed. The track later spread online as a novelty and a meme, shared precisely because it is so short and intense, and it remains popular as a quick audio gag in short videos, streams, and edits where a full song would ruin the timing.
