humblebrag- An ostensibly modest or self-deprecating statement whose actual purpose is to draw attention to something of which one is proud.

Has social media made the humblebrag the primary means of communication?

what is old is new again. When I was coming up, people would say "we are just poor people" . Some of my relatives even. If you wanted to look down on them, that was your problem. It was in fact partly bragging, though I don't like that word in this usage. More like pride about being good people even if having no money.
