We all love using song lyrics as captions on our Instagram posts, but sometimes, those lyrics are way overused. If you’re looking for what not do to, look no further.
I would recommend not using these for your next photo caption.
1. The “Friends” Theme Song
“I’ll be there for you when the rain starts to pour.” Everybody uses the “Friends” theme song for their group photos. We get it, your friend group is just like them. Just don’t use it as a caption anymore.
2. “Blank Space” by Taylor Swift
“I’m a nightmare dressed like a daydream.” No, Carol, you’re just a girl dressed in Lilly Pulitzer and Vineyard Vines. You’re not edgy.
3. “Boston” by Augustana
“I think I need a sunrise. I’m tired of the sunset.” I really liked your photo of the sunset on the beach, but now I’m not going to like it because of your cheesy caption.
4. “Started From the Bottom” by Drake
“Started from the bottom, now we’re here.” Congratulations on getting your degree! Just don’t be cheesy.
5. “Sweater Weather” by The Neighbourhood
“Use the sleeves of my sweater. Let’s have an adventure.” Every fall, at least five girls on your feed will use this caption. Extra points if she’s outside throwing leaves.
6. “Sit Still, Look Pretty” by Daya
“This queen don’t need a king.” Good for you for not looking for a boyfriend. You’re a strong, independent woman that don’t need no man.
7. “Drops of Jupiter” by Train
“She acts like summer and walks like rain.” Yes, you’re so quirky and special.
8. “22” by Taylor Swift
“I don’t know about you, but I’m feeling 22.” Happy birthday! That song is really old now.
9. “Tuesday” by ILoveMakkonen
“Club going up on a Tuesday.” It’s Tuesday! Shouldn’t you be studying or something?
10. “Holy” by Florida-Georgia Line
“I’m high on loving you.” Thank you for publishing every single milestone of your relationship on the internet.
11. “Make Me Wanna” by Thomas Rhett
“Windows down, country sound, FM on the radio.” If you live in the south, there’s a chance that somebody you know has used this as a caption, especially during the warm months.
