once it hits the mainstream it isn't cool anymore, take Facebook for example. kids hate it now, because grandma, mom, dad and aunt marie all use it.

when it comes to social media of any type, if your grandma is using it, you don't want to be using it, since it must be for old people.

according to teenager logic, anyway.

Well to be completely fair, it is quite embarrassing even for me as an adult to have my parents/grandma looking at the stuff I post of facebook, which has caused me to reduce engagement there and post to instagram, which is restricted to close friends.

That's exactly the reason why I, along with my circle of friends, moved to Snapchat.

Agreed. I didn't mean to bust teenage chops so hard, haha.
