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.

Get the Instagram life mug.Not to be confused with the Instagram filter called "toaster." This is a phenomenon that has been emerging on social media since 2013. An Instagram toaster is a slightly above average man or woman whose attractiveness is over-exaggerated by professionally taken Insta photos. Instagram toasters often have a large number of followers/likes on their photos, resulting in their egos to rise up and causing them to become wannabe Kim Kardashians. The women often draw on eyebrows that have been getting thicker since 2016 and have a face caked up with "natural" looking make up but actually end up looking like a pop tart that just came out of a toaster. Male Insta toasters tend to be straight men that aim to present as sensitive twinks. Something both male and female Insta toasters have in common is that they often love to caption their Insta photos with something seemingly inspirational, especially when their real aim is to actually flex, because they want to flex without making it seem like they are flexing. They also tend to take 100s of pictures in different exotic locations during a single day and post them periodically to make their lives seem more exciting than they actually are. Most Instagram toasters are in their late teens/early-mid 20s. However, there are Instagram toasters as young as 13 and as old as 35. They think they are semi-famous because of their attention on social media, although they don't realize how generic and common being an Instagram toaster is in 2019.
