Instagram: the place where you creep on ex’s, drool over food pictures and share your exciting *read mundane* life with the world—well that’s most likely the case for the basics of the world, but here are 5 artists’ Instagram accounts that will give you life and/or make you hate your own life even more.
5. Best Coast (Bethany Cosentino): @bscbscbsc
I don’t even like Best Coast tbh. But I feel like Beth Cos (sounds like someone with a lisp pronouncing Best Coast lol) and I could bbf’s for sure. We’ll share our UNIF and O-Mighty clothes, talk about papi Drake endlessly, and get a matching dumb esoteric tattoo. Mostly selfies, cats, and internet fashion—Bethany is the internet IRL.
Con: all the cats.
4. Antwon: @antwonature
Whether it’s by the ocean, in the 99cents store, or wearing a cowboy hat—Antwon’s selfie life is better than my real life. Selfie game Michael Jordan. That’s it.
Con: I can’t take as good of a selfie as he can. Give me some tips plz.
3. Pictureplane: @pictureplane
Pictureplane knows his Instagram doesn’t suck— so much so that below his name it reads: “My instagram doesn’t suck.” Real talk. I’m really beginning to think that more than one person is behind this account; there is no way one person can do so many cool things and capture so many weird moments at the same damn time. Is Travis even a real person? Must be a conspiracy. Or Aliens.
Con: You and I don’t hangout with him.
2. FKA Twigs: @fkatwigs
Following FKA Twigs is better than following the MOMA PS1 or some artsy person I’ve never heard of. I mean, c’mon. You just have to appreciate someone that takes the time to style their hair like that every day.
Con: too perfect
1.5 Taste The Jungle: @tastethejungle “JP’s Guide to Healthier Choices”
Junglepussy is the final artist on this list, but before I talk about her personal account, I need to mention her side account– dedicated to beautiful, delicious (healthy too I guess) food. Sit down Martha Stewart, JP is in the kitchen. Also this line from her song Satisfaction Guaranteed, “Stink faced bimbos always drinking soda, I’m on a fruit diet so the pussy got no odor.” Ayyyeee.
Con: Doesn’t post enough.
1. Junglepussy: @junglepussy
Bow down. JP’s Instagram is legendary. Whenever she posts a picture of herself all she needs is one emoji to caption—no words, just emojis—I don’t know many people that can command respect through an emoji, but JP can so effortlessly. I know this an IG list but also follow her on twitter, her words are more important and powerful than her pictures.
Con: Why can’t she be from LA instead of NYC?
Honorable mention: Drake’s Dad’s Instagram: @therealdennisg
s/o to all the lurkers.
