Are 'Instagram Notes' the New AIM? Throw It Back With 24 Popular AIM Away Messages, Funny Reactions and Memes
BRB, Mom needs the computer.
Instagram recently rolled out a new feature called "notes." While it's new for IG, it gave many users déjà vu—reminding them of AIM away messages from decades ago. And luckily, it's provided plenty of hilarious reactions, leading to funny Instagram notes memes and popular AIM away messages.
When you click on your Instagram messages, you'll see "bubbles" at the top with IG users' profile pictures, along with a little status posted along with it. This is called a "note." If you click on your own picture from that screen, you're able to leave your own note to "share what's on your mind" in 60 characters or less. These updates are able to be viewed by your followers for 24 hours, and they can reply as well.
While some people are adding an update similar to an old-school, short and sweet Facebook status, others are going for more of an AIM away message template—using emo song lyrics, a mix of lowercase and uppercase letters, and symbols like ~ and *.
So, we've taken advantage of the moment by finding the best reactions and memes surrounding this blast from the past of AOL Instant Messenger. Enjoy reminiscing on AIM away messages—we're feeling angsty already.
