This meme originated in April 2023 with an audio-mad video titled '๏ เ เ ค เ ๏ ๏ ๏ ๏ ๏ เ ค เ' uploaded by user '黑瘦的鱼头' on the Chinese video platform Bilibili.

It then began to gain explosive global popularity on January 17, 2025, when DJ duo W&W released the EDM single 'OIIA OIIA (Spinning Cat)', which utilized the meme's sound. Notably, it led a major trend in the first half of 2025, achieving over 200 million YouTube views as of May 23, 2025.

'OIIA OIIA' is an internet meme primarily characterized by the repetitive 'Oiia' sound accompanying videos of spinning cats. This sound was also used as a core element in W&W's EDM remix track, making up most of the lyrics. Specifically, the 'Oiia' sound is known to be a mondegreen (a mishearing or misinterpretation of a phrase) of 'Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo,' a spell from Disney's animated film 'Cinderella'. The meme itself doesn't carry a special meaning; rather, its characteristic is the strange sense of immersion created by the combination of repetitive, addictive sound and visual elements.

It is popular among internet users worldwide, especially young generations, primarily teenagers and those in their twenties, and those who enjoy short-form content. It is also widely known among EDM fans and has resonated with cat lovers.

This meme is primarily used as background music for short videos featuring cats or other subjects spinning around. The repetitive 'Oiia' sound adds to the videos' addictiveness, and various derivative videos have been created on short-form platforms. W&W's official music video
