The 1998 Relic

Before the era of modern social media, high-resolution image macros, and viral TikToks, there was GIKO.

Born entirely from text characters (Shift-JIS) in December 1998 on Japanese anonymous message boards (2channel), Giko is universally acknowledged as the internet's original cat meme.

A pure representation of digital nostalgia, preserved in monochrome. A relic of Web 1.0 meeting the modern blockchain.
