The Cowboy Bebop meme landscape revolves around the existentialist and noir themes of the legendary 1998 anime series. Most templates utilize the iconic end-of-episode cards like 'See You Space Cowboy...' or Spike Spiegel's nihilistic philosophy, particularly his 'Whatever happens, happens' quote. These memes often blend a sense of coolness with deep melancholy, making them popular for expressing resignation, finality, or post-series depression. From Spike’s final 'Bang' to Faye’s emotional outbursts, the series provides a rich library of cinematic shots that internet culture has repurposed to highlight life's unexpected turns and the weight of the past.
