The process of creating the video was slightly more daunting than just throwing something on your average GIF blog (and by slightly, I mean “thousands of times more”). Risk quietly released the video for Zoom on New Year’s day as a special present for fans, and the trippy kawaii robot dance party vibe will inject many an after party with a boost of energy in 2014. After establishing a relationship with enfant terriblonkzeepzoop Skrillex, Chris Torres has created the world’s first mainstream GIF-only music video for Skrillex opener Alvin Risk.

Nyan Cat will linger in the corridors of our digital collective consciousness forevermore.Īnd now Nyan Cat and its creator are invading a new realm: the EDM scene. It’s been given countless remixes, got Tom Waits’d, and even won a lawsuit. The original YouTube has over 105 million views, which is borderline worrisome, but the point is, Nyan Cat is an intrinsic part of Internet culture. Nyan Cat was remixed into a YouTube video and became a web sensation, as an adorable, brightly-colored animated cat/Pop Tart hybrid backed by a manically cheerful Japanese pop song is wont to do. Nyan Cat’s classic-Nintendo-on-hallucinogens aesthetic has brought joy to the Internet since illustrator Chris Torres uploaded his original hyperkinetic cat GIF to his personal website in 2011.
