Kylie Jenner’s Instagram used to be artsy af
Years before Kylie Jenner went into the family business of being a glamour girl, she was just another teenage artsy girl.
We all know the type, right?
Artsy girls live for movies like Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, will talk to you for hours about why their favorite artists are the most genius being to walk the earth, and are fairly certain that they alone are the deepest person in the universe.
Consequently, one of the number one things an artsy girl cares about is earnestly showing the rest of the world how cool, deep, and unlike the rest of the normals they are. And one of the biggest ways they’ll prove their case is by taking photos that showcase their originality.
At some point, usually while we’re still young and just getting used to having complex feelings, we’ve all been artsy girls. And for Kylie, her artsy girl period was between 2012 and 2014.
Here are some of her finest creations from that time.

Sometimes it doesn’t need to be any deeper than that.

This isn’t a regular selfie. It’s a deep selfie.
Another thing artsy girls love is taking a picture where you can only see part of their face.

This was probably her Myspace profile pic at one point.

Leave it to an artsy girl to caption a photo of their feet/shoes with something deep.
Full disclosure, I can’t even rationally talk about this picture, because it’s so good that every time I look at it I just die.
This 10/10 looks like something an artsy girl would take in their first photography class and be so (rightly) proud of themselves that they’d hang it up on their bedroom wall.
The cryptic caption, the extreme angle, the skull ring and the black nails juxtaposed with sheer white fabric…it doesn’t get much more meaningful than this.
