KILLER BEAN

Killer Bean is older than nearly every meme on the internet. Created in 1996, he emerged before social platforms existed, before viral culture had a name, and before the modern web took shape. Unlike short-lived characters that fade with each trend cycle, Killer Bean has survived every era of online evolution—animation forums, early YouTube, global meme culture, TikTok edits, and the new wave of digital storytelling. His presence never disappeared; it simply resurfaced again and again, carried by generations who recognized something unmistakably iconic in him.

$KB is not nostalgia—it's longevity. Killer Bean is a character with nearly three decades of uninterrupted cultural memory, and that endurance is rare. Rarer still is a meme figure who has cinematic weight, global recognition, and a mythos that never stops resurfacing.

A character that survives 1996 → 2009 → 2023 → 2025 does not fade.
He becomes permanent.
