What does the “Belaïa strekoza lioubvi” meme mean?

The meme plays on the gap between the song's heartfelt, over-the-top sincerity, which compares love to a white dragonfly in a very dated staging, and the mocking eye internet users later cast on it. It gets quoted to tease, with fondness more than cruelty, an overdone, old-fashioned, or unintentionally funny romantic gesture found in a song, a music video, or a too-earnest declaration.

Where does the “Belaïa strekoza lioubvi” meme come from?

“Belaya strekoza lyubvi” is a song by Russian musician Nikolay Voronov, whose music video circulated in 2008 on the runet, the Russian-language internet. The mix of a very lyrical text, a kitschy staging, and an overly dramatic performance struck internet users, who turned it into an early musical meme, well before this kind of reuse became common. The song has since been remixed and imitated many times, becoming a recurring reference for exaggerated, earnest romance.
