Some Badness and Madness, Combination
Going into late 2023, TikTokers began using the extended version of the clip called Some Badness and Madness, Combination. The sound's predominant usage was photo slideshows in which meme creators added three photos labeled, "some madness," "and badness" and "combination," showcasing the end "combination" of the first two images, often referencing viral memes, trends or events. The slideshow trend also grew a notorious reputation for shocking imagery which passed TikTok's moderation team.
