It was about time we posted a new clichés article… and I couldn’t not write about Lebanese Instagram Clichés… I started writing this post a while back but stopped several times because I knew I was getting enemies after it. So please don’t take it personal, have a good laugh and move on!
I will not talk about selfies, I guess they need a dedicated post on their own since Lebanese Girls have mastered the art of the perfect selfie.
Here are the top 12 Clichés in my opinion: (mainly applies to girls)
1- The picture with a pose and a quote that has nothing to do with it. If you think you look hot in picture, just post it, don’t think of a philosophical quote to add.
2- The picture showing mainly your Chanel handbag… we don’t care about the rest no?
3- The instagram bio “Proud mom, Proud wife” etc..
4- The gym and yoga pictures obviously
5- And then the food pictures … we know you obviously didn’t eat that.. (btw do you follow @youdidnoteatthat on instagram.. one of the coolest accounts around)
6-The #iwokeupin[insertcityhere]… I’m a globe trotter, can’t you tell?
7- Adding the hashtags #blessed #grateful #lovemylife #lovemyjob … #luckyyou!
8- If you’re wearing Chanel, Dior or Hermes, you will be featured on one of the “street style” accounts. Again, lucky you.
9- If you’re married, be sure to post a picture of you in a white dress with your bff on her bday, your mom on mother’s day, your dad on father’s day etc…
10- The one with your SO (Significant Other) where you add #loml or a selfie where you tag him because he #makesyousmile and instagraming his gifts or how he spoils you.
11- FYI, #nofilter really means no filter. We can tell when the picture has no filter, especially on your face. Skin smoother apps are no longer a secret.
12- Baby posts – as in baby’s first step, first birthday, first tooth, first words, actually baby’s first anything… Babies are cute but this needs to stop.
And last, thinking you’re a celebrity because you have followers on Instagram… Relax and don’t take it seriously we all know that anyone can create a perfect life on Social Media. Very often, I’m sick or at work, and I post the most glamorous pic on instagram. So, I choose to show you what I want you to see.
