Instagram and My Generation (EP)
Dear Instagram,
I know i could have DM'ed you or click on the Report a Problem pop up option to address you anonymously in camera but enough of me hiding behind the glass screen like a citizen having an embassy interview just for a stamped visa pass to abroad.
Haven't come this far for the sake of my self-aggrandizement, rather, here i am to speak concerning the affair between you and my generation. I'm not insinuating you shouldn't run an affair with my generation, would only appreciate it more than most if you advance into a two-step verification upgrade within your terms and conditioning agreement with my generation.
I see many in array going astray under the umbrella of Instagram. They engage in random uploads of themselves on their profile wall never thinking how lustful it would be represented of them when other fellow of 'her generation walks and stumble on these very profile walls of theirs as they also explore randomly to up their standards to the general public. {What a belie!}
Many never had it in mind to own a now changed handle that goes like @iambooty_sososo @iamhottest_sososo @iamcurvy_sososo et cetera et cetera —atleast many of us still have some saved pictures of you that bears your foremost handle [HAHAHA!]; you stand there arguing that right?[Smirk] From there, they then bookmark certain handles in store just as former generation bookmark pornography sites around the browser archive on their various phones.
Yet am i to engage in a primary research but based on my secondary data at hand, those that we tend to copy their lifestyle on Instagram are not worth it —Cruel Reality!! I'm not here to ill-talk others or body shame the few verified icons on Instagram.
Questionably;
• How many among the celebrities do update their Instagram Stories with their breakfast, lunch, dinner and if possible their friendly meeting meals on daily basis?
• How many among your "Instagram Role Models" upload, tagging along an inspiring and motivational caption?
WAKE UP!!! TOP FIGURES ON INSTAGRAM DON'T UPLOAD THEIR FAILURES FOR THE PUBLIC TO SEE.
We see, Instagram might not be a research engine that feeds us with answers in every search just like Google but let's see Instagram as a forum like YouTube that we can always stream and subscribe to life changing channels. Vehemently can i boast of many business moguls and other successful figures that once turn YouTube to be a cater-cousin and a second home.
Why has this generation chose to just keep adding vinyl to their fake life living on Instagram? Tell me. Till when will you keep borrowing kits, bags, clothes, shades in vogue, belts and even snapchat filter face over your own very face? Tell me, tell me. Till when will you keep going to that very house of your friend that uses iPhone with your newest body revealing clothes just for him/her to snap you using the iPhone's camera? Tell me, tell me. Till when do you tend to run that accessories page of yours just to gain followers then change back to your real handle? —Hmm!
THIS IS TOTAL ARMAGEDDON!
Is it all about likes? Must it be all about highest figure of followers —having few or no post yet? How positive have you been transformed on Instagram? Common, we know you are not whom and what you keep showing to us on your Instagram wall or are you? Uh? —I dare you to make a snap with Instagram camera and upload with hashtag #instagramcamera if you are finding this untrue.
Still and all, let's endeavour to live that very life we've been nurtured to lead in accordance before Instagram came into being, let us not be so gullible and brainwashed over what others show to us on their wall —smidgen of what we feed our sight with are real. There are many handles that worth being followed and not those trivial ones we keep wasting our data and time upon gaining nothing at the end of the day.
" A MAN THAT STANDS FOR SOMETHING WILL NEVER FALL FOR ANYTHING. "
Don't be tormented with what you see on Instagram, never be too worried due to the limited followers that you breed, and stay away from being sad just because each and every of your uploads are not fetching you enough likes and comments like those of your friends; appreciate those little followers —quality matters most and not quantity, and value the small likes on your bestest pictures for they still count for something as many are still struggling to have just 'a like' for their past week uploaded pictures.
For the slayers, you shall reign and fade away with the pass of time while Instagram remains, and
For the business runners, work on your promotions and trust your efforts of hustle as Instagram still exist, while
Ye wannabes! well, all the best as you intend pleasing Instagram with your unauthentic strives.
Believe it or not, some persons way back existed before the internet and they lived quite fine; you can solace your botheration by reading through the foremost episode of this ongoing musings concerning my generation —MEDiA and My Generation.
So remember, not all that endorses your pictures with likes and flying comments really and deeply like your style. Ergo, i say this from a place of concern, don't tie Instagram to your chest by trying to please those very organic and ghost followers of yours in all ways.
BE WISE!
Are we —my generation, to believe that the MEDiA found a solution to 'her old-age problems?
{Be at the ready for the next episode}
Safe.
iRemain myself;
Olawuyi, Blessing Ishola.

A Remarkable Masterpiece I must say 🙌, really needed by 'My Generation'. Nice one brother, there's only one GentWithRichDreams 😁
ReplyDeleteHonored, brother.
DeleteShare and share till My Generation are all aware of the letter to Instagram.
A good one. Something to ponder on about this social malaria
ReplyDeleteRigthly put, my man of greater thought.
DeleteiPray things goes down to its normal state.
Nice one, thegentwithrichdreams just as always. The issue of social media and its effect(negative) on this generation is just an unfortunate situation. Manifestation of misplaced priorities, distraction, low self-esteem, depression just name it. Day by day it gets worse. Everyone is looking for cheap validation from people who are as clueless as they are. Those that don't even know their left from right. But I beg to differ on the issue on what a person chooses to do or wear. If you lust after someone because of what they wear, that's your responsibility not theirs. I know that's not the point here, but needed to highlight that. It's the inauthenticity. Like going as far as borrowing such dress just for likes and gain followers. Work on your mind and don't be piece of pervert. And for those beating themselves up because of the illusions manifested on social media. Stop that! Your mind is your greatest asset. Be in control of it and every other thing changes
ReplyDeleteWell preached, Oddbird.
DeleteA lot more than i owe you.
iHope that one day, we would all get it well taken with how media is to be run and addressed by users of 'her generation.
Let's not keep mute over what is not right, we are existing to not only be on ourselves but also help others in living as supposed and not exaggerating on what is ought to be with life and its dynamics.
Nice one.....
ReplyDeleteValued, brother.
DeleteSuccinctly put...more wits sir
ReplyDeleteAnd may you never be of less importance to her generstion.
DeleteMuch obliged, sir.
And may you never be of less importance to her generstion.

Nice piece when you look at it from your angle, but how about we view it through the eyes of the guilty? would we be so stuck on our values just to discriminate the wrong doers and pour advice out or place ourselves in their shoes and profer solution. But this is one hell of a write-up
ReplyDeleteResourcefully said, we can only profer solutions when this generation has earnestly agreed and admitted to the fact that YES! We getting this whole thing wrong with this very way we making use of it. No one is perfect, only are we just here to give and sound a caveat to what is tearing humanity and her generation down all on the notion of civilization.
DeleteLet's be on a wake and fight this issue of another version of us on the internet, looming depression towards and around others in our mainstream ways of torture.
Everything na scam. Netflix has been garbage
ReplyDeleteI would advice you have a shift from what you tolerate yourself with concerning the channels and see to the other side of how worthful it could be.
DeleteBro, You are a gift that just keep giving....rich mind indeed!.....nice work!!!
ReplyDeleteiAppreciate your always around token of favour.
DeleteOwe it all to you, brother.
