A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Hannah Montana was a Disney show where a girl was a popstar under a different name and wig so she could be a normal person when she wasn't performing. VTubers, like Ironmouse that op referenced, are streamers that essentially play characters rather than stream as themselves in order to preserve their anonymity. They have cameras that track their movement, but rather than just stream the feed of the camera, they map that movement onto an avatar, usually a 3d anime girl.
We also have hand youtubers! Or animators abimate their avatars.
A few like legit musicians also hide their face while performing to make it hard to be recognized, but don't go full Hannah Montana and their real names are known.
Last part: Ado does it.
Live performance on stage but the lighting is set up so the face isnt revealed.

And she absolutely kills it.
Slow Magic does it a lot. He wears LED masks and keeps his identity secret
Thank you, I was super confused.
Why are they always very young girls?
Because people are fucked up in the head.
You really have to ask?
