The 2012 musical film 'Rock of Ages' features an ensemble cast delivering a high-octane cover of Journey's 'Don't Stop Believin'. In this specific scene, characters Sherrie Christian (played by Julianne Hough) and Drew Boley (played by Diego Boneta) lead the final performance at the iconic Bourbon Room. The clip captures the peak of the movie's energy, showcasing the explosive choreography and the iconic 'streetlight people' lyrics. In internet culture, this video serves as the ultimate template for collective optimism, 'main character energy', or the chaotic feeling of a late-night karaoke session. It is frequently used to represent relatable scenarios where a group of friends suddenly enters a state of musical euphoria or when someone refuses to give up on a doomed situation. Example captions include: 'Me and the boys at 2 AM when the DJ plays a throwback,' 'When the 3 PM caffeine finally hits and you feel invincible,' or 'That one theater kid trying to turn every minor convenience into a musical number.'
