Originally written as a 19th birthday gift for Rob of Aardbei, Rob Is Jarig became a running joke in the demoscene and the only tolerated exception to the "new releases only" rule at demo competitions.
Frequently submitted under fake names and credited to a "random Dutch scener", its appearance in compos was traditionally accompanied by a small crowd of drunk sceners dancing on stage to its infectious melody.
The tradition of resubmitting it to demo compos ended at Evoke 2008, when it finally won the compo.
The author of the music was unidentified for many years, and only known to be a university classmate of Ile. However, in August 2026 Rob rediscovered the source code of Ile is 20, containing a track known to be by the same author, and this identified the musician as Buur.
