war chant
Soldiers' rallying song
A war chant is a rhythmic, repetitive song or call used to rally fighters before or during battle, building courage and unity.
The term now commonly describes the organized chants performed by sports fans to energize their team: The stadium erupted in the team's war chant.
Some sports chants borrowing from Native American traditions have drawn criticism as cultural appropriation.
