Making photos look 70's when uploading to FB

The worst ones are where someone has taken a photo of themselves in the mirror with an iPhone and then used instagram to make it look all 60's/70's. I'm out of touch but I'm fairly certain iPhone's weren't around in that era.

Instagram only really works when the subject is timeless or when you're trying to recreate the look of the time of when that subject was in use. For example, a 60's sofa (without a 2013 issue of Cosmopolitan on the seat) might look pretty good when done with a 60's looking filter.

Worst thing about it is that everyone is going to cringe when they look back at their filtered to hell photos in 10-20 years.

I very much doubt that. The majority of people will look back at those photo's and think they were awesome for creating such a masterpiece. Only photographers would be critical of their previous work.
 
I have a friend who posts these pics with so much fake dof that even a tilt shift kens couldn't achieve. Like the entire picture is extreme boke, except for two faces on different planes. It looks silly.
