TBT
Nostalgic photo hashtag
TBT stands for "throwback Thursday," a social media convention where users post old photos or memories on Thursdays: TBT to my high school graduation.
The hashtag #TBT became popular on Instagram and Twitter in the early 2010s.
By extension, TBT labels any nostalgic content regardless of the day: Here's a TBT from our trip to Hawaii.
