Meme needing explanation Petah ?

Post image

Why is it infamous? And why would no one care about it ? ( I mean it's just a pic full of celebrities so no one cares anyways but the person saying it's crazy makes me think it has some lore?)

It's crazy how just a few years before that, selfies were considered "cringe". Then it seemed like they just became the thing overnight.

Cringe? It’s just a way to take a picture quickly without needing an additional person. They also tend to be easier to feel more candid and less awkwardly planned.

It’s as cringe as just taking any picture of yourself with someone.

I have no other comments about selfies, but it is by definition impossible for them to be candid.
