I'm increasingly aging into a curmedgeon, I'm aware of it and so I tend to "harumph" a lot about today's youth. So that said, I find selfies to be narcisitic nonsense. For all my life photos were about recording the places I've been and the people I cared about. I cherish those memories when I look through photo albums far more than any picture of myself. If there are pictured of me, I skip them unless I'm with someone else, then I look at them way more than I do at myself.

Nowadays people have a million pictures of themselves to look at. "Here I am at the park, look at my fabulous outfit." "Here I am in the hospital when my niece was born, wasn't my hair fantastic that day?" I feel like when they are old they will wonder why they didn't take more shots of their friends and loved ones and try to remember what they looked like. But at least they'll always have the memories of that amazing white purse they had that day.

“Here I am at the park, look at my fabulous outfit.” “Here I am in the hospital when my niece was born, wasn’t my hair fantastic that day?”

I don’t doubt what you say but fortunately I don’t know a single person who acts like that. I have four grandchildren here (I am guardian) and I can’t think of one single selfie taken by any of them. And I do see their accounts.
