Instagram Thesis

A harsh critique that is biased, uninformed, or blatantly political. It provides no solutions to the problem it addresses, and merely serves to distract attention from a positive solution or idea.
Our feedback has been mostly supportive, however there has been a lot of attention created by one particular comment. At the moment we consider this merely an Instagram thesis.

instagram punk

The coolest new wave of punk subculture which involves posting yourself in the classic 70s punk style, wearing extravagant makeup, piercings and untamed hair dyed into unnatural colours. Side by side, Instagram punks and the scene subculture are very similar, with one being the lovechild of techno and emo culture, and the other being the love child of social media narcissism and your dad’s (or lack thereof) music collection.
Alternating themselves from the original 70s punks, Instagram punks don’t hold any strong legitimate view of political happenings / philosophies. However, many hold a baseline of which style of Instagram punk they want to portray through their online personality. For example, a communist Instagram punk may enhance their online persona by sharing their distaste for capitalism from their Chinese sweatshop-produced phone while regularly enjoying fast food. Some other Instagram punks may also share a message of hatred for government and surveillance despite regularly donating selfies to a multi million dollar corporation’s database to be data mined.
Girl: I like your Sex Pistols shirt, I had a boyfriend that looked exactly like Sid Viscious.
Guy with green mohawk and anarchy badges: Sid who?
*Thinking* Girl: Wow, what is with the abundance of Instagram punks nowadays?

Obsessive-Compulsive Instagram Disorder (OCID)

When you feel the need to forward a just received joke, picture or video to your friends (not to the sender, of course). To be unable to keep the received medium just for you.
Common similar activities called Obsessive Compulsive Disorders or OCDs include hand washing, counting of things, and checking to see if a door is locked.
This Christmas joke card is so great. It fits perfectly to John: Sent!

Oh dear, you suffer from CID, that social media disorder. The full technical term is Obsessive-Compulsive Instagram Disorder (OCID). Or just CID.
Oh, you are a wise guy.

Instagram Overcompensation Post

An excessively personal, revealing Instagram post about oneself in response to the premise that people only share their "best moments" on Instagram. While Instagram Overcompensation Posts (IOP) have become a serious trend, distinctly personal information about millions of people is being posted publicly on the world's 6th leading social network (1 billion active users).
Did you see her Instagram Overcompensation Post (IOP) this morning? She shared several paragraphs of detailed information about her family's personal problems.

That guy's IOP the other day was so gnarly, he posted like 5 pictures of himself at the hospital getting hemorrhoid surgery because he wanted to be "real" with Instagram.
