If this sound hasn’t popped up on your FYP yet, do you know what it never was? That serious.
The latest TikTok trend is all about diffusing stressful or chaotic situations — because, in the end, was it ever that serious? The ironic meme was started by one content creator’s deadpan line delivery and blew up with the help of Stranger Things’ Noah Schnapp.

The sound was created by @princessazula0. On Nov. 7, 2022, she posted a video saying, “You know what it never was? That serious. It was never that serious. Quite frankly, it will never be that serious.”
The soundbite has since been used in over 62,000 TikTok videos. People use it to express their feelings on life’s serious and not-so-serious matters.
