PaRappa the Rapper is a rhythm game released for the original PlayStation in 1996, in which players press buttons in time with rap-inspired songs to help the paper-thin dog PaRappa impress his crush. Its bright, funky soundtrack and quirky humour made it a cult favourite, and short clips from the game have circulated online for years in edits, streams and meme videos. This loading snippet survives because it is instantly recognisable, short enough to loop, and carries the game’s playful attitude in just a few seconds.
