Twelve of the Most Common Instagram Posts

Everyone loves taking a snapshot or two of the favorite moments they don’t want to end. Our excitement at times lead us to sharing them on social media. Here are twelve of the most common Instagram posts you can see on the popular photo-sharing social media website.

Instagram, for one, is a popular medium for those captured memories. Like we mentioned before, it’s a haven for you to express your creativity in your shots and a medium for telling the world things you fancy. Looking at my feed once in awhile, I can’t help but see common denominators in Instagram posts from people I follow, and myself too.

1. A Photo of body, whatever part it may be, wherever you are: If you’ve got a summer beach body or just simply taking a picture of your legs or feet to say “Hello from (insert place here)!”, then yeah, it’s an Instagram-worthy post. I guess.

2. Of Clouds and Sunsets: “Hello, Can we exchange seats so I would be able to take a picture of the clouds?”  No one can deny that taking photos of clouds on a sunny or sunsets filling in the dusk create a picturesque scene that brings joy to anyone.

3. Food porn: I don’t really mind people I follow flood me with food photos. Its one kind of porn that’s totally safe for work, but I might end up at a restaurant after and slashing some moolah off my hard-earned savings, just because I craved. #gluttony

Flavor of life. #vscocam

4. The Inspirational Quotes: Whether you’re feeling jubilant, distressed, angry, or hopeful, there always has to be a corresponding quote to match those feelings kept deep down inside. Yep, even those #hugot moments.

5. The Random Street Shot: Be it a scene of tall buildings from the ground, falling leaves from afar, or just a random street photo, this has been one of the most popular posts I’ve seen on Instagram to date. In fact, I do it too.

6. Those SMS Conversations: Have you ever received sweet messages from your loved one, a (somewhat) funny joke from a friend, or just simply sharing SMS from unscruptulous scammers? There are always conversations meant to be shared for the world to see. Or not.

7. It’s all about the travel: If you’re lucky enough to travel a lot during a single calendar period or you’re just a little too ecstatic to show your followers and friends how much you are looking forward to an impending trip, there might be a huge chance that you’ve posted any of these: your boarding tickets, a shot of the really cool place you visited, or just simply documenting every single step of your journey.
