>but in general it refers to a style in which the photographer has somehow manipulated what would otherwise be a straightforward photograph as a means of "creating" an image rather than simply recording it.

I don’t know that sounds exactly like the Instagram and Snapchat generation to me.

That's a description of pictorialism, which the original comment is saying has won over realism.

Group f/64: In part, they formed in opposition to the pictorialist photographic style that had dominated much of the early 20th century, but moreover, they wanted to promote a new modernist aesthetic that was based on precisely exposed images of natural forms and found objects.
