What this was
A fake Instagram: a private, deliberately unflattering account kept alongside the presentable one. The name is a joke and the practice is a real answer to an audience that grew to include employers and parents.
It first appeared in 2015, during the platform era.

Behind the recordWhere it came from
There is no original to identify: this spread through many separate posts at once rather than from a first one. ViralWorld holds no copy of it either — what it was, when it spread and what people called it is the record.
Nothing here is claimed to be the first version of this, because research established there was not one — it appeared in many places at once.
Not established. This index only names a creator where the evidence supports it.
