Kitty party aunties have taken over Instagram. And we can’t look away

To be cringe is not to be free, actually. Social media is a panopticon of judgement, and one wrong caption can cost you many thousands in aura points.

Uncles and aunties today have not just made it to Instagram; they’re the primetime performers on our feeds.

This is how it was in my day: The adults had crossed over from WhatsApp to Facebook, but they were safely quarantined there. ‘Good morning’ posts were being circulated, and fake news was being spammed with great abandon.

One by one, the kids began to trickle out of the blue app for the pinker pastures of Instagram. Two swords, one social media platform, you get the gist. Our worlds were separate once again, and that, it seemed, was that.

Gone are those days. And this time, it looks like Gen Z might even learn to share the platform with ‘uncs’.

The most popular genre in uncle-aunty content is kitty party videos.........
