The Cowboy Bebop opening, set to the high-energy jazz track 'Tank!' by The Seatbelts, is one of the most iconic sequences in anime history. Known for its stylish kinetic typography and high-contrast silhouette animation, it first aired in 1998 and has since become a primary source for parody videos and image macros. The '3, 2, 1, Let’s Jam' countdown is a universal internet signal for the start of something stylish or chaotic. Parodies typically replace the original characters with figures from other franchises or apply the signature blue, red, and yellow split-screen panels to mundane life situations. The meme persists because of its timeless cool factor and the easily recognizable visual language of the 90s anime aesthetic.
