When you use Instagram, you can see the different categories of people from the ones you follow.
Yes, there are some who don’t really fit into any category, but more often than not, you can put almost every Instagram user into a filtered box.
Here are our top 15 most commonly found types of Instagrammers.
15. The fashionista
Though they are everywhere, it’s kind of cool that they know what’s trending. They pose in awesome outfits and give fashion tips. But sometimes they’re just posers wanting to take selfies in expensive clothes. #Obsessed
14. The funny-things person
These are usually people who spot weird and wonderful things in random everyday life. Like a smiley face hidden in the wood beams of their flat, or a funny road sign. These people are quite cool and tolerable. #Awesome
13. The desperado
THIS PERSON IS DESPERATE FOR FRIENDS! They take photos to make their lives seem epic, and then advertise the post on all parallel social networks with #FollowME and their handle. #Can’tHandle
12. The party animal
Go to a party. Snap away. Post to Instagram with filters to minimise how awful you look with flash and then piece together the crazy night the next morning. #FunTimes
11. The traveller
You love to see their posts about the amazing places they’ve been to, but you secretly hate them, because they always seem to be on holiday and never have any work to do. #Jealousy #TrustFundBaby
10. The pet lover
These are people who love their pets so much, they think everyone should love them, too. Pics of baby sleeping. Pics of baby playing with a ball. Pics of baby basking in the sun. Pics of baby being vaccinated. #Aaaawww #Cuteness
9. The parent
They have kids. They think they’re cute. They post pictures of them all day long. #NuffSaid
8. The activist
Constantly making you feel like a bad person because you’re not at a protest, the activist posts photos of every socially conscious thing they do. Even their recycling bins and their poster-painting. #WhateverCauseI’mFighting
7. The filter-fundi
No matter what they photograph, it always has a filter. And they spend hours pondering which filter will look best. #X-ProII
6. The chronic re-poster
None of their photos are theirs, but they constantly re-post the cool stuff they see on others’ timelines to seem funny or cool. #Fake #TryHard
5. The sky/city worshipper
This one posts photos of the city skyline, a bird or balloon in the sky, or mist over the city… You get the picture. All of the pictures. #LoveMyCity
4. The foodie
Every meal has to be captured for posterity before it exits through the posterior. No matter how beautiful or ugly, we don’t want to see what you’re about to digest unless you’re a chef. #Yum
3. The hashtag hag
#Every #Single #Photo #Is #Hashtagged #Like #This. #ANNOYING
2. The selfie-slut
These people take pictures of themselves in mirrors with their phone clearly visible and the infamous duckface protrudes like a sore thumb. Or they take photos of themselves with friends or random backgrounds. #AttentionSeeking
1. The addict
The person who feels the need to post a photo of every moment of their life is an addict. They can’t put down their phone, and they can’t help but let people know that they just took a dump. #Unfollow
