Here are some additional thoughts on the topic of cliches and their role in social media:
While cliches can certainly be effective in establishing connections and common ground, it's important to recognize that relying too heavily on them can also have drawbacks. For example, overusing cliches can make your content seem generic and unoriginal, which can ultimately hurt your credibility and engagement with your audience.
One way to avoid this pitfall is to use cliches sparingly and strategically. Instead of simply repeating the same tired phrases and images that everyone else is using, try to put a unique twist on them or use them in unexpected ways. This can help your content stand out and demonstrate your creativity and originality.
Another approach is to focus on telling stories and sharing experiences that are genuinely meaningful to you. By doing so, you can create a more authentic and personal connection with your audience, which can be more powerful than relying on cliches or generic content.
Ultimately, the key to successful social media content is to strike a balance between familiarity and novelty. While it's important to use familiar tropes and themes to establish connections with your audience, it's also essential to bring your own unique perspective and creativity to the table in order to stand out from the crowd.

Insta cliches will tend to be pictures of food, or your outfit for the day, or hotdog legs, or your coffee or a cupcake…or looking up at buildings…and i’m guilty of many of those things and i want to say…yes, but i was in New York and there was a story behind that…
Ahhhhh….a story behind that
