Snapchat usernames.
Snapchat is a litmus test social media
In Norway, when i meet people who don’t use it, they are either too old or too cool for me.
“I’d much rather just send a text or call you”
“You still use snapchat??”
In the rest of Europe, everyone just universally agrees on using whatsapp.
My own mother doesn’t pick up the phone unless i call her on Whatsapp.
A few weeks ago, she had her birthday, i called her 2 days late. She was still hung over.
back to the topic at hand
Snapchat usernames can tell a lot about a person.
Until very recently, there was no way of changing names on there. This lead to everyone being stuck with a username they made when they were 14.
People would add you with legendary names like
ultimate.Benjamin1
cutekittenKristine99
CrackbongWeedsm0ker69
Nowadays people just have their normal names! shakes fist at the sky
I on the other hand, have never changed my name on snapchat
I joined snapchat november 15th, 2012.
People were concerned about the world ending.
My dumb ass was downloading fucking snapchat.
I vividly remember snapchat asking me what my name was, so i typed nuutti.
And just like that, I made the most legendary move, of getting the username nuutti on snapchat.
no numbers, no animals, no nonsense. Pure fucking slickness.
6 letters of straight finnish dominance.
So yeah, of course I am sad that usernames can be changed now.
Yesterday someone sent me a message on snapchat. A photographer. He wanted to buy my snapchat username.
I said
“get fucked”
This name. This power. It corrupts me.
And i will gladly inflate my snapchat username ego any chance i get.
But the times are changing.
So the next time you see me, ask me for my number ;)
