#throwbackthursday

Why do we think we can only post old pictures on Thursdays?  I want to know where throwback Thursday began. The first time I saw it, it was on instagram. As it became more popular it started on twitter as well.Then slowly but surely made it's way to Facebook. If you don't know what throwback Thursday is. It is when you post an older picture on social media. The oldness of the picture ranges from baby to yesterday. If you search #tbt on intagram. Which is  a shortened version of it. There are 194,429,170 posts that show up. On Thursday that is almost all you see. I think that it is dumb when post a picture for throwback Thursday from any time of that week. 

There are similar things like throwback Thursday on other days of the week. There are #mancandymoday, #womencrushwednesday, and #selfiesunday. People also try to make #tossbacktuesday and #flashbackfriday. But they are usually not that common. Originally #wcw and #mcm were used for celebrities of someone you thought was attractive. Now it is still used for that but it is also used to embarrass you friends. You see a lot of people posting pics with these hashtags. Sometimes it can get annoying. But not everyone posts on these days. I would have to say #tbt is the most popular one. There are also some girls that every single week on Wednesday they post a picture of themselves as a #wcw. I feel like that goes against the unwritten rule of social media. A long with liking your own post. Of course you like what you posted or you wouldn't have posted it. I feel like it is the same thing with posting a picture of you self as a #wcw. I feel like it is unnecessary, other people that see it aren't going to like it. They are most likely to just roll their eyes at you and your post. Especially if you do it every single week then you will eventually have no followers or friends. I see most of this stuff on instagram rather than on twitter or Facebook. 

While on the topic of instagram I hate when people post more than one #tbt picture save it for next week or just choose your favorite. I do not need to relive your life through instagram pictures. Another thing that is annoying is when people only use hashtags in their description. They have so many hashtags that don't even make sense nor do they relate to each other. They only reason people do it is to get a lot of likes on their page. If you are that desperate to get likes you need more activities in your life. Besides instagram.
