The Instrument Recommendation thread

[Lu-Cuss]

I guess this is more of a request for identification than it is a recommendation, but there's no other good sticky thread so I guess I'll just post here. Apologies if this isn't the place for it.

There's this stab sound that I can't even describe, seems like it was used a lot in the 80s and 90s, but I don't have any idea what it's from originally, but I'd really like to use it myself. You can hear it in all these songs, which I think is enough to identify it.

That's an "Orchestra Hit".
