It brings me joy to hear someone call them emoticons.

Brainrot zoomer language was pioneered by members of our generation, yet is cringe to us. Same with "XD :3 ><" and the generation before us. Stuff becomes cool because older people start it, only for younger people to embody it. "UwU" is a gift that we ought to respect (≧ω≦)

I like to think >.< And :3 lives on, but it's only furries at this point isn't it. As a cat I will take :3 to my grave

[–] [email protected] 28 points 5 days ago

worry not, it's furries and a lot of submissive people

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 days ago

Not a furry, still use :3

I have three cats though

I'll buy that for a dollar.

It does feel like the same kinda gibberish my buddies and I were spouting in our heyday, just evolved

The G.I. Joe videos and strongbad. But I am le tired.

It was us man. We were there

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 days ago (2 children)

it was moderately post ironic for us, when we used it. It went from being a once in a while thing just to add some additional slang. To a post hyper irony period where the joke is that the words we used dont make any sense and have no meaning, therefore you can just do that with EVERY word.

I can hear the nightcore coming from this image.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 5 days ago (6 children)

Nightcore is an edgy as fuck name for just being the chipmunk-ification of any given song.

I was so disappointed when teenage me discovered that.

Being a little cringe always brings joy to our faces, though

Once again, Gen X is skipped. Whatever.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 5 days ago (3 children)

they leave gen x out because they always show up in the comments. sadly the gen x tradition. representation through solidarity in underexposure. :(

Of course Gen X left out again.
