memes probably get selected for their compatibility with other memes. so like, someone somewhere made some scary art or something, like a "haunted house" videogame or something and included some sort of music, and then from then on maybe the spread of this combination of scariness plus the music associated the two in peoples minds. There's often, in suspense movies, a long tone that is drawn out as the particularly suspensful parts happen. I think this meme was successful because this drawn out note works analogously to the suspense. You don't know how the suspensful plot will turn out at this moment (will a killer jump out from behind the door or will it only be the cat) and also you don't know how the note will turn out at this moment (will it resolve into a huge sound, or will it fade off into nothing) |
