The World Wide Web has become the launching pad of various Internet memes like Boxxy. Essentially, an Internet meme describes any concept or idea which spreads mainly through the Internet to affect various online communities.
The term may also reference a larger category of cultural information. Undoubtedly, Boxxy is one of those who would fall under this category especially considering the kind of popularity her videos has reached.
Boxxy actually refers to a teenage girl who was obviously extremely hyperactive judging by her videos which made their initial appearance on the Internet sometime in January of 2009. The girl Boxxy in the video is Cait or Catie, short for Catherine in real life.
The controversy rages on however whether the videos that were created and uploaded by Boxxy were an ironic role of her or simply the true manic state that she has. Whatever it was, it was obvious that it added to the charm of the Boxxy viral videos.
The Birth of Boxxy
Based on most accounts, the Boxxy viral videos were initially intended for her friends at Gaia Online. Apparently, one of her friends requested her to create a video for him. Boxxy gave in to the request and uploaded it and eventually became increasingly popular in different online communities which led to the birth of an American teenage Internet celebrity.
Varied Reactions to Boxxy Videos
Apparently, the adage “you can’t please everyone” holds true wherever you are, including the Internet. Because of the immense popularity that the Boxxy viral videos have reached, the reactions are now becoming mixed. Some forum members would declare the Boxxy as “the most insane display we’ve ever seen”; while there are those who comment that she is “the cutest girl you’ve ever seen.”
According to her friends though, Boxxy is simply a character and that Cait is actually a more toned down teenager. The varied reactions to the Boxxy videos actually proved one thing that the Boxxy phenomenon was out of the box!
The Price of Boxxy Fame
Everything has its price and undoubtedly this applies also to Internet fame. As an Internet meme, the Boxxy viral videos have been the repeated target of hackers as well as being mirrored by different servers. Sometimes because of the spam effect, some hosts have received complaints from subscribers. This eventually led to the suspension of the BoxxyBabee account which was apparently used to create most of the Boxxy viral videos.
Aside from this, Boxxy has also received a scary amount of stalkers and harassers in real life all because of the Boxxy viral videos.
Scary Boxxy Effect
What began as a simple request from online friends for a video from Boxxy ended up to the creation of one of the most popular Internet meme sensations. The problem though is that the popularity she has reached has led to some scary consequences. For example, those who harass Boxxy in real life are categorized mostly as either haters or people who really want to have sex with her.
As if this is not enough, there have also been a number of posers who have gone online to claim that they are the real person behind the Boxxy viral videos which puts to question her legitimacy.
The Rise of Boxxy to Fame
The rise to fame of the Boxxy viral videos would not have been possible if it were not stumbled upon by some users in an online channel community. Within the span of about three months, from January to March 2009, the Boxxy viral videos were incessantly posted with more than half of them from posers, while the other half from those who are simply fed up with her Internet antics.
The fame (or notoriety) of the Boxxy viral videos apparently reached a point where some online forums have prohibited using her name to create threads. Some websites went to the extent of having her name filtered out.
Boxxy Fan Base
Very few have achieved the status of Internet sensation in such a short time. There are a few notable ones and apparently Boxxy belongs to this elite class of Internet celebrity icons. Within just 8 days and with 3 Boxxy video uploads, she has gained 21,800 subscribers, more than 38,000 comments, and 1.4 million views of her videos.
What happened was that the Internet community was stunned at the instant fan base she has established. Come to think of it, many even forgot that she was a teenager. To further establish her immediate fan base, Boxxy held the number 5 position in the hot trends in the United States for January 2009.
She was even in the Metro Newspaper of the United Kingdom during the same month because of the instant popularity. Now this is something that you do not see every day.
No matter where you go, a significant amount of success would ultimately cause some waves. Many who were not comfortable with the Boxxy viral videos attempted to disrupt what she did or simply hated her for what she did.
Despite of this, Urlesque gave in 2010 Boxxy viral videos the 104th place in the list of the most iconic Internet videos for the year. The later part of the year also saw the appearance of Boxxy items being sold online. If you have no idea of what the uproar is all about, then try to see the Boxxy viral videos for yourself.
