As someone who is addicted to holding outrageously long Snapchat streaks, I am a slave to all the social media impermanence and excitement that snapchat has to offer. However, one soon begins to find patterns in the postage of fellow Snapchatters. Here are some snapchat stereotypes that I’m sure we all have on our friends list!
1. ‘Just checking in’
You may not see this person on snapchat for months at a time, but at some point, he randomly rediscovers the application on his phone and thinks to himself: ‘hmm, my friends may not know I’m alive, so let me take a random picture of my backyard so that they stop worrying.’
2. Snap-Savvy
In case you were ever wondering what this individual does with every hour of their daily lives, they have it all up on their snap story for your four-minute watching convenience. Every. Single. Moment.
3. The Foodie
So I appreciate food as much as the next person, but to post every single meal on Snapchat seems to be a bit much, doesn’t it? That delicious meal you ordered at City Center is definitely photogenic, but your soggy breakfast cereal: not so much.
4. Concert Chauvinist
Oh missed that concert the other night? No worries, this person has documented every moment of it. If you are as obsessive as I am, you feel the incessant need to skip through every single video they have posted in order to eliminate the notification from your feed. You might have well have been at the concert, since you got first row seats to your friend screaming through the entire thing.
5. The Artist
Okay, the absolute truth is, we all want to be a little bit like the artistic Snapper. The one that takes magnificent photos of beautiful places, to the point where you wonder if they are even taking it with their phone. Honestly, how does someone have time to do so many cool things? If I am not busy at school or work, I’m probably propped on the couch lounging my life away.
6. The Diva
Ever had one of those days where you just feel pretty great, and want to take a picture? Well this person always feels like that, and their snapchats prove it. Selfies are a totally acceptable post on Snapchat, considering that social media is designed to showcase one’s self! However, more than two selfies a day may be a bit much for anyone beyond your proud grandmother who actually cares.
7. The Public Partier
We get it, you have cool friends. But do we really need every 10 minutes of your night out?
8. The Weather Reporter
Just incase you have not stepped out of the house yet, this Snapper will always have your back when it comes to hour by hour weather reports. Want to know the exact temperature, and a complacent caption to go along with it? Then this Snapchat account is your guy!
9. The Proud Parent
I'm sure all of us can fall guilty to this. ( I know I can!) Let's just face it, as adorable as we find our children/cats/dogs, not everyone may feel the same way. It's just the cold, hard truth.
10. The Wild One
We all have that one friend that posts such ridiculously funny snapchats that you begin to question their sanity. They take 'do it for the snap' very seriously, and it isn't until you hang out with them in person that you begin to realize how Snapchat can only depict a portion of this individual's wacky personality.
11. Oversharer
This stud takes most of his snaps in a bathroom and isn't shy to share the most harrowing secrets that you wouldn't admit to anyone else. An infinite surplus of poop selfies is hardly a day in the life of this snapper.
12. Filter Famous
You can trust that this user has tested out every filter Snapchat releases. From doggy ears to face swaps, this user has a golden snapchat resume. Isn't it unfortunate that you have to sift through every useless post of your friend's giant nose? He clearly found this much more amusing than you do.
A special thanks to my friends that made this article possible by playing along!
