Remember how cool it was to create your own personalized pixelated avatar in the early aughts? Whether it was on websites such as Yahoo and MySpace, or playing dress-up fashion games, we all loved to express our personality and sense of style with these customizable images. Nostalgia for these times have been rampant in recent years, as shown with the resurgence in popularity of nu metal, Y2K fashion trends, and a yearning for the optimistic, futuristic world of the Frutiger Aero aesthetic that we were promised.
Take a trip down memory lane with this new page created in anticipation for the release of Kittie's 25th anniversary re-imagining of their debut album, Spit XXV. This website allows users to design their own Kittie-inspired avatar using fashion and hairstyles that were popular in the nu metal and mall goth scenes. Background options include that of the iconic leopard print that can be found on the original Spit album cover. Accessorize your avatar with chokers, instruments, and perhaps the most fitting category, four different breeds of "kitties" that are available to choose from.
