And shes 1 of 300 Million People interacting with niche memes on instagram. Do you think its a good way to vent . Thats the biggest part of it. Some of us dont have a lot of people to vent to.

Some of the accounts will have promo codes with them. Reporter its a move that makes sense for brands, since many of the posts are centered around fashion and ke trends. Most come with a community and kind and uplifting comments. In a world where everything is perfect on social media, it seems that niche memes are cool because theyre vulnerable. They are the airbrushed version. Theyre raw and gritty. Reporter they say a lot. Yeah. Thats for sure. Reporter some of the posts promote stereotypes. But anything considered offensive or any posts that cause concern can be reported immediately within the app. From my perspective i think niche memes are a positive trend. This is about representing an identity today. And tomorrow, its a different identity. Thats whats great about being a teen, is to explore that. Reporter a take on the 90s collages.
