However, little did we know it all started with one crazy Justin Bieber fan. Storified by George Mattingly· Thu, Feb 21 2013 13:47:58It started like this:
JB Fanvideowzr0713A loyal Belieber posted a self-made YouTube video of her version of "Boyfriend" called "Girlfriend" complete with a creepy stalker face and obsessed lyrics.

The video gained instant attention on YouTube and the next day, redditor yeahhtoast posted the video in a thread called "Overly Attached Girfriend". Soon after, the video earned its own Quickmeme page. Thus, she was born with a video and then her first meme.

Runt-of-the-webSoon after major blog sits like Tumblr, Buzzfeed and Jezebel took notice of Overly Attached Girlfriend, a Twitter account was created on June 7 with the handle @AttachedGF with tweets dedicated to generating more captions for the memes.

Hockeys Future Forum[18] member Hoggy posted a link to a Facebook page. Then JB Fan video was updated with a link to the girl's Twitter account with the name Laina Walker.

Laina then uploaded several pictures to her Facebook page and told fans to follow her on Twitter. Today, she has nearly 147,000 followers on Twitter and more than 265,000 likes on Facebook.

Since then, we have witnessed some great examples of how crazy girlfriends act and the reasons why boyfriends want to escape their obsessed girlfriends.
