Origin of the A Thousand Year meme

The lyrics had taken over the internet when the song was dropped. However, they were circulated as quotes in romantic settings and not as memes. You must have dedicated the song to your high school crush back in the day!

A netizen shared a few aesthetic silhouette edits with the lyrics on Livejournal in 2013, which resembled a duck. However, if we look closely, it's an image of a woman clutching her head. The Internet had already what it needed to see, and a face reveal of the duck was dropped by an artist on Imgur in the same year.

Netizens started to modify the duck over time with personal touches. Art is about transcending the boundaries of imagination, after all!
