The 'Extremely Loud Incorrect Buzzer' meme is a chaotic reaction format based on the classic 'wrong answer' sound effect from television game shows. While the sound itself is decades old, it found new life on social media platforms like Twitter and TikTok, where users began typing the sound effect in all caps and brackets to aggressively reject unpopular or objectively false opinions. It signifies an immediate, jarring, and humorous dismissal of a statement, often used when someone tries to share a 'hot take' that is universally disliked. The meme thrives on the sensory overload implied by the 'loudness' of the text, making it a staple for internet arguments and ironic humor.
