OK, is anyone else confused by Instagram’s newest feature? If you have no clue what I’m talking about, let me give you some clarity: On Dec. 13, Instagram rolled out the carpet on a new feature called “Notes” that allows you to set a short message for your followers (or people on your Close Friends) to read. Think of it as, like, those little statuses you used to use for your AIM account in early middle school… or am I aging myself here?
Regardless, I’m someone who is welcome to change — I’m a Pisces — and I’m pretty confident that this new feature is a good thing. I don’t know about you, but I used to thrive off of status updates in middle school. Something about posting a silly little “tacos XD so random” as my AIM status really made me feel like the fullest version of myself, and brainstorming new statuses with my brother got those creative juices flowing. Look at me now.
If you’re down to try Instagram’s Note feature, but don’t know where to start, I got you. Here are 12 funny Instagram Notes ideas to use as your first post.

For my fellow internet babies, this one is for us. It’s a classic callback to the days of deep side parts and too much eyeliner — the people that get it, get it. The people who don’t, have no sense of humor. I said it!

I think Instagram Notes is the perfect time to capitalize on some of the best memes on the internet. A personal favorite? The note that Snookie and JWOWW left Sam in Season 2 of Jersey Shore. Although you can’t post the whole thing, your funny followers will be able to understand in the first few words alone — if they know their memes, OFC.

Throw it back, babe!
- “omw to be messy on ig notes 😌💅”

Is it me? Am I the drama? (Spoiler alert: yes, you are. And I love it.)

I’m sorry to my millennials out there, but if y’all take this as a sign to post Notes every single hour — or update them like you do Facebook statuses — I will not be having it. (I love you, Millennials)
- “I lost the game.”

Now you did, too.

Hey, if we’re bringing back AIM energy, I’m sure we can bring back those viral mean fairy tweets from TikTok.
