Growing up in the 90s was a selfieless time full of disposable cameras, dial-up, and land-line phones. Through the many technological advances, I have witnessed the glorious birth of what we call the “selfie.” We have come a long way since the days of the MySpace selfie.

Here are some of the new and complex evolutions of the beloved selfie that I have observed in 2018.

All selfies look better with a pet in them - even the "terrifying" ones :)

I literally got down on my knees, opened up a 24 page PowerPoint and begged my parents for a dog

    Yep, these are the photos I see of my teens all the time. Silly smile, eyes looking up and away, and normally just a portion of their faces.

    Can confirm. It's cause I was insecure and thought my face was prettier with less of it showing. Kinda like the zoom beauty filter thing that just blurred your face. Like, "you face looks best when we can barely see it"

    I never get these selfies. I was chilling out with my friend when all of a sudden she gets angry and says she can’t do this selfie with the Snapchat filter she said using 🙄🙄

    the people that take these half selfies, do they realize that you can reverse the camera to get the perfect shot?

    I took a pic like that once but I put the mirror (which was a small handheld mirror) in such a way the one side of my face was completely mirrored and then I looked to the side and it looked like my eyes were going in two completely different directions and I had a crazy smile and it was the best selfie I've ever taken tbh
