Some philologist is currently writing a thesis on the development of emoji “accents” on social media.

Whenever I see classic emojis in a sentence, I believe it’s some 50-something years old writing some cringe shit (you can say shit on the internet, by the way) for their friends in facebook.

I’m sorry this is the CIA -an unmarked van will be taking you to an offshore black-site for saying shit on the Internet.

Really depends on the emoji imo. 🤣 is definitely a boomer one in my experience, I never see it being used by a younger person

I see 🤣 being used by older AND younger people mostly whereas people my age might use 😂 or just plain ol’ :D which we’re more used to

As a 50 year old, my classic emoji's are actual ascii emoticons.

I believe so. But do you write cringe shit (like the post we’re talking in) on facebook? I think you probably don’t, hence my point stands.

I definitely don't write or talk like that, I may be silly but I'm not an idiot.
