A single social media post containing a loosely curated batch of unrelated photos from a span of time, deliberately presented as casual and unedited rather than as one polished image.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"She posted a photo dump from the whole month and somehow it got more likes than any single picture she's ever posted."
LORE & ORIGIN
Emerged on Instagram around 2021 as a backlash to hyper-curated single-photo posting, the photo dump format became the dominant way Gen Z presents their lives online, prized for feeling authentic rather than performative.
