Still Alive is the iconic closing theme song for the 2007 video game Portal, written by Jonathan Coulton and performed by Ellen McLain as the AI GLaDOS. The meme typically utilizes the aesthetic of the game’s terminal-style credits, featuring the lyrics 'This was a triumph' and 'Huge success.' It gained massive popularity for its passive-aggressive tone and catchy melody, often used to humorously celebrate minor achievements or mock disastrous failures as if they were calculated scientific progress. Over the years, it has become a foundational piece of internet culture, symbolizing robotic resilience and cold logic in the face of chaos.
