Do you use the laughing emoji?




https://www.cnn.com/2021/02/14/tech/crying-laughing-emoji-gen-z/index.html

What's wrong with the laughing emoji[?]," one user asked in a TikTok comment. Another responded: "it's so off." On a different video of a woman saying she's cut back on using it after learning kids don't, one teen commented: "As a 15 year old I say you should use that emoji bc [because] we sure aren't going to."

"I use everything but the laughing emoji," 21-year-old Walid Mohammed told CNN Business. "I stopped using it a while back because I saw older people using it, like my mom, my older siblings and just older people in general."

For many Gen Z-ers, the emoji has become a popular replacement for conveying laughter. It's the visual version of the slang phrase "I'm dead" or "I'm dying," which signifies something is very funny. Other acceptable alternatives: the emoji (officially called "Loudly Crying Face"), or just writing "lol" (laughing out loud) or "lmao" (laughing my, well, you probably know the rest).

People with this kind of insecurity annoy me.

all kids have that insecurity.

They're afraid of being seen doing something their parents do or think is cool

What's hilarious is it says "lol" is an acceptable alternative, when a few years ago, there were similar articles saying THAT was old and out of style.

Wait, individual emojis go in and out of fashion?

I would have long shrugged it off if it were just little kids, but seeing as it's very kommon in older teens and people in their 20s, I haven't.

Emojis are for children. If a man my age texts me with them or I see them using them I completely write that person off as a manchild.

They need to go back to telling us to do a line of coke and shutting the fuck up.

Mhmm

Long as my girl has her actual life together, I'm not clutching my pearls over something so trivial as she uses an emoji.

I mean it's no different than "lol".

Nobody is really laughing till they cry or laughing out loud. Just expressing humor.
