The Overly Attached Girlfriend meme exploded onto the internet in June of 2012 after a girl named Laina (she prefers to exclude her last name in articles) uploaded a webcam video of herself parodying the Justin Bieber song, "Boyfriend". In her version of the song, she put on a creepy expression and changed the lyrics to sound stalker-like.
The video racked up 170,000 views on the first day and it didn’t take long for someone to grab a screenshot of the creepy look (pictured here) and turn it into a meme. The success of the video and meme turned Laina into an internet celebrity almost overnight. Since then, she has embraced the internet stardom by interacting with her ever-growing legion of fans via her Twitter account, Facebook page, and of course where it all started: her YouTube Channel.
