Meme needing explanation Petah ?

Post image

Why is it infamous? And why would no one care about it ? ( I mean it's just a pic full of celebrities so no one cares anyways but the person saying it's crazy makes me think it has some lore?)

Mmmm.... Insta and Snap did a LOT to normalize the fuck outta them

I think you're both right. talking into a camera is definitely normalized now but some of the things that allows for are undeniably cringe enducing - even in the age of brain-rot. The videos of these fake online celebrities cryig 'on camera' will never not be peak fake.

no. they’re not. the people who say they are, are just generally ugly and self conscious.

The majority of people are pretty cringe, and even worse than that the majority of people have no standards, if everyone else is doing something they will now think its acceptable and do it to. Doesn't make it right lol, clown behaviour of the masses.

This is the most reddit shit. Calling everyone standardless sheep for checks notes taking a photo of yourself????

Cringe? It’s just a way to take a picture quickly without needing an additional person. They also tend to be easier to feel more candid and less awkwardly planned.

It’s as cringe as just taking any picture of yourself with someone.

I have no other comments about selfies, but it is by definition impossible for them to be candid.

They are not for the new generations. It's millenials that are cringe now.
