The Back Dorm Boys, featuring Wei Wei and Huang Yixin, became some of the internet's first global sensations in 2005. The duo, students at the Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts, recorded themselves lip-syncing to pop hits like the Backstreet Boys' 'As Long As You Love Me' in their messy dorm room. Their exaggerated facial expressions, coupled with a disinterested roommate playing Counter-Strike in the background, defined a new era of amateur online humor. Today, the meme serves as a nostalgic tribute to the early days of YouTube and social media, representing the unfiltered joy of the 'Web 2.0' era and the timeless relatability of student life antics.
