Terms used by "influencers".. Arrrghhh!

[Milik]

Browsing at my Instagram this evening and feel a need to have a rant lol.
Influencers talking about Sunday night "reset" in videos about simply planning for the week ahead. I mean mundane things like ironing school uniforms, tidying up the kitchen.. Just normal tasks that are familiar to most of us. Why call it a "reset"?

Similar is when an influencer is posting videos of themselves in new clothing items.. Lets say new shirt or jacket etc. They call it a "piece". As in I got this piece in x shop..
Why not just call the item whatever it actually is?

I just think of it as chores !

oh and a piece in Scotland is. Sandwich/snack. Haha !

They’re just desperately trying to stay relevant, cringeworthy.

I completely agree with you and to me it seems to come from the Americans desire to label everything. This and other fake nonsense is why I can only take instagram in particular in very small doses.

It also comes down to the simple fact that the majority of people are effing idiots. Which is probably why I prefer animals (I don’t have children)

Oh yes 100% agree. So unnecessary and irritating

Yes,actually saying it instead of just doing it, utterly bizarre!

Fucking THIS. And the hook finger under the nose.

I swear an entire generation, maybe 2 have had their brains scrambled by that absolute shit.

Oh my god it’s not the one who swoops her leg across the other leg every single time is it? Lydia something or other, drives me mad.

Someone on MN wrote about setting up a hot chocolate station for her DC. What she went on to describe was a tray...a TRAY with some different flavoured sachets, a can of squirty cream, and a bag of marshmallows 😡

edit and some mugs

Yes but hasn’t colourways always meant a colour scheme, not just the colour of a single item?

Influencers + going viral = influenza’s!

Oh god I hate that.

”now I’m just going in with some foundation. Now I’m gust going in with some blusher. Now I’m just going in with some eyeshadow.”

That reminds me. Referring to makeup items as “she”. Wtf.

Yeah, but some bits of it move on with a really terrible limp and pigeon toes.

I’m an archaeologist but I’m not opening up a test pit every time I plant a tulip bulb

When they film themselves waking up in the middle of the night with their baby (I have a baby so it's all over my algorithm) but lo and behold the camera and ring light were already set up and running before she even woke up 😂

why does everything need to be “aesthetic”??

why are they always in an era “I’m in my matcha era”

why are they always a girly? “I’m a baggy jeans girly”

ughh

Anything ASMR style. And the clacky nails thing. Has the same effect on me as chewing tinfoil. I only have FB and have been trying to train the algorithms towards art and craft stuff and they even do it on that, particularly junk journaling stuff. Drives me insane!!

This one drives me insane!

“ Food of the gods” 🤢

What is the hand movement thing?
I feel more and more old 😆

Oh God, this!

😆 🤣 😂 crying laughing at this 🤣

Even worse:

10/10 - no notes.

Does anyone else want to puke when they hear the phrase "it's giving..."?

Another one: talking about banal and inane shit (tbf that’s 99.9% of the stuff anyway) while doing other stuff such as making an iced coffee or applying make up. I THINK it’s so that we think they’ve had a brilliant thought that’s so important it must be shared right that very moment, and/or that they’re so busy living their actual lives that they only have time to do videos when they’re doing other mundane/routine stuff. Instead, it just comes across as though they can’t do one thing at a time let alone two, because they always get themselves confused, and additionally nobody ever listens to what they’re saying because you’re always thinking “wtf was that in her drink? Condensed milk?!” or “didn’t she just put two serums and a moisturizer on already, what’s this stuff for and can’t she see it makes her look so greasy?”.
