Where does the “Kraid's Music” meme come from?
The meme takes its name and sonic basis from the video game Metroid, specifically the musical theme associated with the boss Kraid in his lair.

The oldest documented trace dates to a Reddit post from September 7, 2019, mentioning the corresponding entry on Know Your Meme.
