Crab Rave originated from a music video released by Irish producer Noisestorm on the Monstercat label in 2018. The video features thousands of CGI crabs dancing on a tropical island to a catchy EDM track. While initially a music release, the internet quickly adopted it as a celebration meme, particularly the 'Is Gone' format, where text overlays announce the departure or removal of a person, group, or object. It has since evolved into a universal symbol for chaotic joy, victory, and rhythmic celebration across platforms like YouTube, Twitter, and Reddit.
