Katy Perry is normally that fun loving girl who wears cupcakes on her boobs, but she’s very wise too! Her thoughts on social media are alarming in a good way.

Katy Perry tells Refinery29 that social media is the decline of modern civilization.

”A lot of us are living for that picture, and then the currency is the like. It’s hard because I’d rather not care about that and just live my life. We buy clothing and products or pose a certain way or go to an event to get a picture – it’s not good for us as a society. I think it’s actually the decline of civilisation if we’re going extreme about it. We have to find a balance, and I’m trying to find my own personal balance with it because I’m just as much a victim as everybody else.”

Do you sometimes only go to an event to get a great snap? Maybe learn to live in the moment.
