17 Types of Instagram Pictures We Can't Stop Taking ...

Lyndsie Mar 16, 2016

Instagram just keeps getting better … and a little weirder. Every few months, a new photo trend takes over and works its way into the app's hashtag lexicon. Some trends are longer lasting than others – like these, which are cliché but classic all the same. I bet there's more than a few of these hiding in your feed, right?

1. Food Porn

Food Porn I think food porn is more ubiquitous than any selfie. Seriously, half my Instagram is food. It's everywhere, to the point that I'm totally dividing it into different categories. Like …

2. #Brunchlife

#Brunchlife This infuriates me because I invariably want all the brunches I see. Label a food “brunch” and I want it even if I don't like it. I might have a problem

8. Hot Dog Legs

Hot Dog Legs My hope is that this will disappear this coming summer, but it probably won't … and I always wonder whether I'm looking at hot dogs or legs, so I'm probably part of the problem.

9. #TBT

#TBT Throwback Thursday produces a whole lot of gems, both on a global social media scale and within our own little circle of friends.

10. Cute Shoes, Yo

Cute Shoes, Yo We cannot stop taking photos of our shoes. I have no problem with this. I even confess to adoring the pigeon-toed pose.
