How did a Japanese rainbow toaster spacecat become so pop....oh...
In terms of previous internet fads, it's the same deal as badger badger badger -- catchy, absurd, repeatable, instantly recognizable.
I mean, Nyan Cat is just the western version of the myomyomyomyom fad, which understandably did not catch on in America. It was too japanese, it needed some of that "badger badger" style to work.
Levas pola/leek spin was similar too... and more impressive, I would say, since despite being extremely japanese it also caught on pretty well in the west.
