The Internet Archive has an entire museum dedicated to the weirdest art of the early web. 🖼️
It's called GifCities.
Thousands of animated GIFs rescued from the first generation of the internet.
Glitter. Dancing. Cats. Strange little loops that somehow survived the decades. 💾
Go find your perfect retro GIF.

@internetarchive I'm using it much more than I should 😁
Thanks very much for this !
FYI, the content is not fully suitable to younger people, as some gifs are NSFW.
