This Popular Emoji is the Latest Casualty in Gen Z vs Millenials Battle

News 18  

Bad news for people who frequently use the emoji: It is no longer cool. “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 we sure aren’t going to.” “I use everything but the laughing emoji,” 21-year-old Walid Mohammed told CNN Business. “My mom doesn’t even use it.” “Face with Tears of Joy,” the official name for the laughing crying emoji, is currently the most-used emoji on Emojitracker, a website that shows real-time emoji use on Twitter. Emojipedia recently wrote a blog post that said: “It’s common wisdom on TikTok that the laughing crying emoji is for boomers.” Gen Zers told CNN Business they like to assign their own meanings to emoji, which then spreads to others in their cohort, often through social media.
