‘Hipster Barbie’ Has a Better Instagram Than You. Deal With It

Here’s yet another millennial Instagram account with inane hashtags, an inexplicably large number of followers, dreamy locales, and jealousy-inducing hair and features.

Except this Instagrammer is 12 inches tall, plastic, and also a completely brilliant parody of hipster culture and social media.

Instagram user @socalitybarbie features a brunette Barbie and all her adventures in satirizing clichéd social media motifs. Enter the countless shots of Barbie striking pensive poses in nature, among other hackneyed and over filtered Instagrams.  A quick scan of her posts will make you think of at least one (or ten) friends who are guilty of these Instagram sins.

Wired did an in depth profile on the @socalitybarbie account and the Oregon wedding photographer behind the phenomenon, who chose to remain anonymous.  The photographer did, however, offer a quote that sums up the sentiment that many people share about this brand of social media homogeneity: “I get it, it’s pretty to look at,” she says. “But it’s so dishonest. Nobody actually lives like this. And it’s so overdone that it’s becoming boring.”

Another parody Instagram recently popped up, this one targeting the now ubiquitous ‘Humans of New York.’ The offshoot project is called ‘Millennials of New York’ and as you can probably guess, pokes fun at the generation often called lazy, entitled, selfish, or just addicted to social media.

These spoof social media accounts just might make you think twice before your next post.
