10 cliché Instagram posts you'll definitely see this summer
The sun is out and it's warm again, which means summer 'gram is back in full force.
Here's the thing — when there are 1 billion Instagram users out there celebrating longer days and hotter nights, how many unique summer-themed posts can there really be? You're bound to see one, or two, or 10 posts with the same poses and captions. If the account @insta_repeat has taught us anything, it's that #wanderlust photoshoots aren't exactly one of a kind.
Here are 10 Instagram posts you're sure to see this summer.
1. Hot dogs or legs?
Can you believe it's 2019 and people are still captioning their photos with this? Just post your nicely tanned legs and go!
(Except this cat, though. We will protect pet influencers with all our hearts.)
2. Hanging out on a pool float
It's the age of Instagram, and we as a society are over basic pool floats. If it isn't an elaborately designed inflatable bird, then what's the point? As pool floats become more extra, you'll probably scroll past a few this summer.
3. Some kind of pastel-colored frozen drink
Folks, it's frosé season and we are all thriving! As it warms up outside, the rest of us will be cooling down over brunch and some adult slushies. And why bother going to brunch, if you aren't at least going to post a nice Boomerang of your pals clinking glasses?
4. "The tans will fade but the memories will last forever"
Unfortunately, you can't preserve your sun-kissed glow for the entire year. But Instagram captions? Instagram captions are forever, and you'll probably see a handful of these on your feed this summer.
5. Someone holding a comically large ice cream cone
Eating ice cream off a cone truly is a race against time and gravity — is it even enjoyable? Unfortunately, cups just aren't as aesthetically pleasing, so you might as well suck it up and get the shot before it all melts.
6. Dude playing guitar outside
The sun is out and so is every guy who knows a few chords. You're likely to spot him in his natural habitat – any park or beach where others are just trying to relax in peace. The Guy Who Plays Guitar thrives in public spaces, and is sure to post about playing guitar in public.
7. Posing at a music festival
We get it, you went to a music festival! You had a life changing experience in the desert! You'll post dreamy photos captioned "take me back" until the next festival! It's the cardinal rule of Instagram — if you didn't post about going to a music festival, did you really go?
8. Sunset over the ocean
Is it still socially acceptable to post sunset photos in 2019? Hell yeah. Nature is beautiful, and there's no harm is sharing that with everyone. Just know that yours will be one of hundreds of thousands of beach sunset photos on the app.
9. Someone working out outdoors
Fitspo influencers love two things: Shakes and working out near pools. If you follow any fitness gurus, you will probably see a video or two of them working out near a gorgeous pool or on the beach. We love some summer fitness inspiration!
10. A grainy video of fireworks
Buckle down for the Fourth of July — you're going to see so many grainy videos of fireworks. Is it as impressive watching it through a five-inch screen as it is watching in person? Probably not, but your Instagram story will look great!
