War Never Changes is one of the most iconic lines in video game history, serving as the opening narration for the Fallout series since 1997. Voiced primarily by Ron Perlman, the phrase reflects the bleak, recurring nature of human conflict regardless of the era or technology used. In meme culture, the template is used both seriously to comment on historical cycles and ironically to describe trivial, recurring disputes—such as internet arguments, gaming console wars, or household disagreements. Its association with the wasteland aesthetic makes it a go-to for highlighting situations where history repeats itself in the most dramatic way possible.
