I just checked my emoji set. 13 emojis that you can use to express some kind of joy/cheerful mood that isn't associated with food or feelings towards other beings. Including those (like 🥰) there are many more. I'm probably old man yelling at clouds here, but I'm sick of everyone using the 'I AM CRYING WITH LAUGHTER' emoji to simply say anything between 'huh, yeah' and 'haha, that's good'. Of course I don't expect the emoji police to show up and arrest them for not producing tears, but this basically inflates (deflates?) the value of everything else. To me it feels like writing your whole text with all caps. If everything is highlighted, then nothing is highlighted.

I just use that shit cause it's the first thing that pops up, if I have to choose, this is the one I use for everything. 😑
-
Can someone explain?
-
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.
-
"the brain finishes developing around 25 years old" is a myth but yeah that's the joke
-
Got it, thank you. 😂 😂 😂 I'm glad to see that real comedy isn't dead!

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.

Just to make some of you feel old: I'm gen Z and I'm 25.

You're like the tribe elder of your timeline.

Get off my lawn!

Thanks, I hate it!

Have you had your first wave of Gen Alpha trends and slang confuse you yet?
-
Im 27, very first birth year for gen z. And I'm a teacher and this is a multiple times a day occurrence. Also, them laughing at my slang terms that I don't even realise are slang as I'm using them. And the scary bit is, some of them are 18-20, so still firmly gen z too.
-
I am still in school and it confuses me already.
-
Not the person you're replying to, but in the same boat, and I for one dipped out at "yeet" and "yoink"

No.

Cheers mate.

Frontal lobes are cool but all that white matter you grow in your 30s is where the good shit happens
-
Like actually?
-
Despite the snarky response you got from someone else, yes, white matter grows in your 30s. Gray matter is what makes the thoughts white matter is the highway they use to get around, so white matter actually has a very significant impact on the brain. It’s being considered as a possible cause so many people have a “mid life crisis” because their brains are actively changing how they think and connect things together

No, it's when you become aware of too much shit and enter the next level of needing to learn more coping skills. It's like suddenly growing legs and realizing there's a whole world out there and people who never grew legs are like woah miss bigshot with her LeGssss ooooo so SpEcIaL think you're so FaNcY so WoKe and then form an army of undeveloped against you and they win and you just facepalm for eternity as you scrounge for ways to help them grow legs but they now think growing legs gives you autism or something stupid.
Ignorance is bliss is no understatement. I'm so tired.

Maybe just let them be?
-
I wasn't trying to be unkind. It's just Gen Z whose frontal lobes would be just finished developing, that's all.
