Stinger

A stinger is a very short musical cue, usually a few seconds long, used to punctuate a moment.

Stingers mark transitions, reveals, jokes or logo appearances. Podcasts use them between segments, games use them for wins and losses, and TV uses them going into ad breaks.

A good stinger shares instruments or a motif with the main theme so it feels like part of the same identity.
