MODERATORS
Your brain finishes developing around 25 years old. The older Gen Zs are turning 25 now. OP is joking about unironic emoji usage being an old person thing.
Gen X here. Almost never use emoji. When did emoji use become a “old(er) person” thing?
I’ve certainly noticed emoji spamming that couldn't even be called “ironic” among my kids and their friends, so I’m not sure they know what ironic even means.
Yeah I always thought that emojis were used most heavily by Gen Z. Millennials seem more likely to use abbreviations like "lol" and "lmao," and Gen X seems more likely to just type "haha." I don't know what boomers do, send audio clips of them laughing?
They start a Skype call so they can show you live how much it made them laugh
