Salil Sawarim, or Saleel al-Sawarim, originally a nasheed associated with ISIS propaganda, transitioned into internet culture as a prominent 'bait-and-switch' meme. Stripped of its original political context by meme creators, the song became a staple of '21st Century Humor' and ironic shitposting. It is typically used in videos where a scene suddenly cuts to a chaotic or absurd montage just as the melodic chant begins. The meme relies on the jarring contrast between the song's production and the nonsensical visuals it accompanies, making it a popular choice for creators on TikTok, YouTube, and Discord who specialize in surreal or high-energy irony.
