I keep searching the interwebz for things like "pixel animations for websites" and "pixel art for websites" but I haven't found a single thing remotely close to the cliques that some of us collect in the PC. Is this a PC-related phenomenon?

Nope, not just PC, Cliques were all over a lot of personal websites back in the late 90s and 2000's. I don't know when the tried kind of died. Maybe early 2010s? melissamcewen.medium.com/the-teenage-girls-internet-of-the-early-2000s-ffa05702a9aaI know Bunni has some on her site. They're images so they're probably not google-able. You'll probably have to manually look though websites for them, the older the better. Pixel art, and Dolling, websites had them a lot too. Old fan websites for whatever anime or cartoon you want.. I do mean old ones (15 years ago maybe?) ETA: There were cliques that remind me of the stamps that are going around now. Only with out the pixel edges. So maybe stamps are a different take on them. ETA 2: Fanlistings also had images that people would collect and put on their site to decorate it. That's what I was thinking of, not quite the same thing.

Not at all, like stancymckatt said, they used to be A Thing in the 90s and early 00s. With the revival of old school sites on neocities and similar, I've seen some cliques floating around so you might want to try to search for those. I've also seen people just use the Wayback Machine to look at clique sites they miss. The thing with fanlistings and a lot of cliques is that you were supposed to join them and your site would get added to a list (so people with similar interests could find each other) but I assume that's different now. If you're just looking for small graphics showing you like something, I'd try keywords like blinkies and... tags? Was that what they were called? Be warned that A LOT of blinkies had lots of flashing going on. There are still makers and tutorials around

Oh man, I miss the days of cliques and buttons! I'm currently working on getting some petz sites and personal sites set up on Neocities, and one of the things I want most is lots of fun buttons and other graphics to express things I vibe with!
I think deviantart could potentially be a good place to search, but I'm not sure.
