Poppy (23)

Poppy is a disturbing internet meme seen by millions. Can she become a pop sensation?

Poppy (formerly known as That Poppy), is an American singer, songwriter, ambient music composer, dancer, and YouTube personality portrayed by Moriah Rose Pereira. She owns a Youtube channel -  Poppy's YouTube channel was created on October 6, 2011, and her earliest video is from November 2014, an abstract skit called Poppy Eats Cotton Candy, directed by Titanic Sinclair. The channel has been discussed by other YouTubers, including PewDiePie, Social Repose, Night Mind, The Film Theorists, Reaction Time and the Fine Brothers on their React series.She is the sort of celebrity who could not have existed even half a decade ago: born of and beloved by the internet, and essentially unknown outside of it.

• The videos are described by their producer Sinclair as "a combination of Andy Warhol's pop accessibility, David Lynch's creepiness, and Tim Burton's zany comedic tone".
• Poppy has about 300 videos on her channel, which have received a combined 235m views, increasing by 250,000 a day
• YouTube says her subscribers have grown 260% in the past year.
• In the first video of Poppy ever posted, in November 2014, she wordlessly consumes candy floss: this has had 2.3m views.
•  Poppy has about 290,000 monthly listeners on Spotify, evidence that YouTube remains her home planet for now.
