Many years ago the agency I worked for was tasked with delivering a new website for a major UK brand. The hipster London marketing agency we had to work alongside pushed so many garish ideas that I ended up creating a jQuery plugin called "disco mode". It set a timer and on every tick would select a random element on the page and apply a random effect. Slowly the UI would disintegrate into a maddening, incoherent mess of clashing colours and animations, and then there was also the plugin I mentioned.
This reminds me of the Katamari Hack back in the day when bookmarklets were more popular. Surprised that it's still fully functional including the music considering it was released in 2011!
I wish fewer sites would resort to 4 letter words in their titles to grab attention. These days, a title like this makes me assume the product itself is not interesting enough for me to look at.

Don't know whether this is failure or resilience.

I remember in the 90's-00's there was Windows desktop software toy that did similar to this with options for missiles, fire, etc.
Examples:
Stress Reducers (2000)
Monty Python's Looney Bin (1998) (I could be wrong)
Dilbert's Desktop Games (1997)

PS: after posting the link I saw at least one other comment did this, so the feeling seems widespread.
