I too have noticed this annoying trend, what are they watching on TV that's causing them to mirror gurn so much?
Is it a Glee thing maybe? It looks very valley girl so I'm assuming some merkin kid appeal program has a cast of over actors.

My made up theory - a lot of youtube stuff is filmed on a webcam
so you're effectively watching someone look in a mirror.
This feedback loop makes people pull faces they think are attractive.

Decent theory!
When I webcam I tend to move less, as when peeps at the other end wander about n change distance etc then their webcam is always resetting its white balance or focus, n it's just plain annoying to look at.
I enjoyed the Sarah Milican solution of a webcam hat, tho...

well look at the horse effluent they see on TV
they're all doing it. Nicky Minaj, feckin Black Eyed Peas, those stupid "pop punk" bands. I think it originates with Gwen Bloody Stefani and may be taken from k/j-pop influence, or it's just from overdone lipsync vids that have somehow become a very annoying "style".

And between that and her kookie love of Pokemon, she's making a lot of nerds worldwide very happy. A synchronised "Nerdgasm", if you will.
