I think we can all agree that we follow a person from each of the following Instagram-er stereotypes.
As I scroll through my Instagram timeline (feed, page, whatever -- I’ve lost track of what the proper names are for each social media account… all I know is that they take up a good 50% of my life each day and I’ll continue to act like that is not a problem) I’ve seen a variety of different types of pictures. From celebrities, to your mom, to that workout account you pretend to be inspired by, to your little sister and to your boyfriend’s new dog’s account, I think we can all agree that we follow a person from each of the following Instagram-er stereotypes.
1. The one with another inspirational quote. Girl, you’ve got an eye for pretty pictures with some words on it, but please save that for your “Inspirational” board on Pinterest. I already know how in love every 20 year-old-girl is with the cities they’ve never been to and the people they’ve never met....
2. The girl who paid $15 for an editing app and uses it to its full potential. It’s just another selfie of her and her boyfriend yet the quality screams “I’m the next big Alfred Eisenstaedt” and people are going to be wondering how someone captured such a beautiful scenery years from now. *snaps for Camera+*
3. The “I was challenged”-er. Okay so you’re telling me that these 5 photographs make you feel more beautiful than anything else? Have you ever tried Outback’s mac n’ cheese because that is the kind of stuff that makes you feel like a million bucks.
4. The “here’s my legs and some waves”… Hot dogs, bratwursts, legs- all of these can officially fall under one category thank you to the number of people who feel the need to let everyone know that they have set out on one of the only voyages to some water and waves AND have managed to lather up on some SPF .00001. Bravo, America.
5. The Food Porn addict (lattes included). Mmmm... yes, that no-dressing-extra-spinach salad looks so delicious under a Sierra filter. I’ll like it in support of you to eat something else with it. We’re all still growing girls here. Don’t forget to add your location.
6. The “Wheels Up” Insta-er. From LA to Tokyo she has documented every second of her trip via a filter and two white edges. Is there really a need for the rest of us to travel if we’ve already seen everything from the Eiffel Tower to the view from every airplane window? Unless there’s a woman churning butter out there, at least leave some of us the mystery.
Oh, and how about the In-N-Out burger pictures? Has everyone and their mother taken a trip to the West Coast this year?
