Courtesy of Duncan Grant, Rebecca Smith, Rachel Aquino and Gabriel Lesser.These photos are meant to be fun and often come out distorted. Gen Z users told CNBC they help take some of the pressure off of posting on social media.Here's how you can take a .5 selfie of your own.
Gen Z has already witnessed the rise of smartphones, social media, and more recently, artificial intelligence, in their lifetimes, so these savvy users are accustomed to keeping up with ever-changing technology trends., for instance, Gen Z users don't favor a perfectly curated feed full of posed and filtered photos. Instead, many are embracing a seemingly more effortless, messy, I-did-not-have-to-try-very-hard-to-capture-this-cool-outfit aesthetic.
The .5 selfie is now a fixture of Instagram Stories and a popular Gen Z Instagram trend called a"photo dump," where users share a group of up to 10 random, nonchronological photos to their main feed. Spliced between gorgeous landscapes and fancy meals, a .5 selfie can serve as a way for Gen Z to show off their personalities on the platform.
"Just to see someone out there recording and so confident and looking so good at the same time is crazy," Aquino said."I think that's why Gen Z goes insane over the Tube Girl."To take a .5 selfie, start by opening the camera app on your iPhone. Flip the camera so you are looking at the scene in front of you, and not at your face like you would to take a traditional selfie. Tap the 0.
