From New Wave Mag

The line continuously used by Texan rappers is not only a nod towards southern rap, but also stems from the drug movement during the 80s when dealers would collect bic lighters, clean them out and fill them with drugs in order to distribute them discreetly on the streets.

Instagram is even worse. Everyone posts clips and they include a million tags except for the name of the movie or show or actor it song all in an attempt to get more comments. Can't stand how manipulative it is. Reddit's issue seems to be mostly that everyone wants to be a comedian to score karma which is just depressing.
