Millennial Claims She Can Tell How Old You Are Based On Your Social Media Profile — And It’s Bad News If You Gather Your Friends For A Group Photo
- An influencer is shaming millennials for being “out of date” on Instagram
- She penalized teapot poses, planned group shots, and put together profiles
A millennial claims she can always tell how old people are just by looking at their Instagram account.
Loren, from the US, is fed up with ‘old people’ still subscribing to dated trends when it comes to their social media accounts.
The influencer is often confronted with photos of a group in the position of a football team, with half crouching in front of the larger members and wondering why people still insist on being “out of style.”
“No one has to take my advice, you can do whatever you want and it’s okay if you want to date,” she said.
Loren complained about hand-on-hip poses, overly curated Instagram feeds, and bulging-eyed selfies that should be put to bed.

“I really hate it when people pose with their hands on their hips,” she said in a TikTok. “I get it, I did cheerleading and dancing – this is what we were taught.”
But Loren insisted there was a time and place for everything – and the era of the teapot pose is over.
“It’s flattering — but you’re in the middle of a restaurant, you’re not competing for Miss USA, so relax!”
She also commented on the evolution of the group photo.
“We don’t gather everyone for a group photo anymore — we don’t have to get everyone together, put the tallest in the back, the shortest in the front, and have everyone put their hands on their hips.”

She much preferred Gen Z’s authentic approach to capturing memorable moments.
“One thing I like about Gen Z is they’re very open-hearted,” she said.
“So if you’re having a barbeque, just take some nice candid photos of everyone at the event having conversations — it doesn’t have to be weird and posed like a football team photo.”
Loren wasn’t a fan of the early to mid-2010s aesthetic of being perfectly put together Instagram feeds where people used presets and everything was beige.
“Gen Z are chaotic – they don’t care, they just post what they want, when they want, whatever color the photo was originally taken in.”
The influencer’s latest complaint was about a specific kind of “millennial selfie” with their eyes wide open.
“Posting selfies with bug eyes isn’t it,” she said. “I think millennials assume we look younger when we pop out our eyes, but that’s not true.”

Thousands agreed with Loren, begging other millennials to stop being “embarrassing” and “show their age.”
“I’ve been saying this for years — the bulging selfies have got to stop.”
“0.5x photos are the best – everyone has to catch on.”
Many thought Loren gave Gen Z too much credit for being good on Instagram.
Gen Z are still calculated in their aesthetics and photos. They make it look candid on purpose.”
“It’s called a plan-did – they do it on purpose.”
Some were angry about her attack on the beloved group photo.
“I think people will regret not taking group shots, they’re kind of sweet. I mean – there’s no reason you can’t do both.’
“I like group shots for memories – you’ll always want to look back on them.”
