Back when people called selfies pictures. When the word self only meant yourself and not taking a picture of yourself and others

What would you have titled this picture?

I think that person is just trigged.

My parents in 1988. I guess i just don't like the use of the word selfie. Or the word selfie in general. It was understandable when it defined one taking a picture of themself. It started making less sense when people defined it as any picture you take of yourself and anyone or anything else around you. Isn't that just taking a picture? I apologize if I've offended you, i don't mean to come across as a dick. It's just something I've pondered.

No offence taken at all - I always thought the definition of a selfie was "the person who takes the picture is in the picture itself". But then what about the self-timer? gif

I’d say this counts as a selfie because he’s taking it himself.

That's still just taking a picture though. Maybe i just don't get it
