Four years ago, taking pictures of brunch was weird. But on Oct. 6, 2010, everything changed.
Monday marks Instagram’s 4th birthday, and to celebrate, it’s time to take a trip down memory lane. Instagram gave TIME a time capsule that goes back to the early days of the photo-sharing app. The 13 most popular hashtags of 2010 show that while some things change (um, #iphone4?), some never will (#cat forever):
