What is White Boy of the Month? The term originated from the social media application formerly known as Twitter, which is like the most ubiquitous pillar of Stan culture. Twitter White Boy of the Month started out as a joke poking fun at the cyclical nature of thirst on the internet. Almost every month, everyone’s feed explodes with photos and fan videos of a new heartthrob—usually a young white actor or musician with heartthrob hair—who is then featured a few weeks later as the month’s latest replaced by the style.
Then there’s the ranking system. The stan community pits their white boys against each other, ranking them based on whether they are hot or not. But soon, as the term entered the mainstream, the internet seemed to reach a consensus: these were our parasocial boyfriends. We should all get along with each other.
As a result, the internet boyfriend or white boy of the month has become a long-term online fixture. The term has evolved so much that this month’s flavor doesn’t even have to be white. Often, his relevance doesn’t even last a full month in our minds. Blame it on our TikTok-addled brains, but these heartthrobs circulate like micro-trends.
Yet, during awards season, we’re inundated with content from the same group of online beaus — giving them a spin and letting their beautiful faces linger in the center of our brains longer. Please don’t mind if I do.
We get red carpet content, touching speeches, interviews, photo ops – how can we just pick one white boy of the month when that’s the case? It made us happy to see them during the height of Seasonal Affective Disorder, and for that, I thank them for their service.
