The Death Metal Rooster meme stems from a viral video of a rooster crowing for an unnaturally long duration, which was later dubbed with heavy metal or deathcore vocals. The most famous version features the rooster 'singing' along to intense guttural growls that perfectly match its frantic physical movements and wide-open beak. It became a staple of internet culture, representing raw, unbridled energy and the cathartic feeling of a long, stressful scream. Today, it is widely used to represent morning frustration, intense enthusiasm for heavy music, or any situation where one needs to vent loudly and aggressively.
