What emojis reveal about us: Show me your laugh 😂😅 and I’ll tell you how old you are
The emojis we all use apparently say a lot about us. At least the age could unintentionally reveal one or the other inexperienced user. Because an emoji in particular comes out online, knows a proven emoji expert.
The emoji does it: This is how boomers and millennials expose themselves
Attention boomers and millennials! Anyone who looks like the ox in front of the mountain, whether this salutation is there, can confidently assume that he or she is meant. Many members of said groups (more on that later) have long since arrived in the digital age – how could we not? – There are still clear differences to the “real” digital natives who have never known a world without a PC or smartphone.
Apparently one of them also works in the Selection of favorite emojis low. This makes them practical to markers and expose their users – as painful as it may be – as old hands. Above all, one of the laughing, crying, screaming and doing whatever-anything-possible-faces is tell-tale, according to the experts at Emojipedia: The young people recognize from the laughing face 😂 that you are not one of them. The variant 🤣 rolling around with laughter is also not recommended.

Whoever wants to be young is not afraid of the 💀
Anyone who uses it to convey their undivided zest for life or the amusement of a good joke reveals themselves. As Jeremy Burge, Chief Emoji Officer (he really exists!) At Emojipedia, knows that only people laugh like that until 1996 saw the light of day. These include the boomers (1946-1964), members of Generation X (1965-1980) and the youngest of the elderly, the millennials (1981-1996).
The Generation Z – so the fatalistic name of the youth born between 1997 and 2010 – expresses her macabre humor differently. There is no long torch here, but rather laughed to death at TikTok, for example. Whenever something is particularly funny, the 💀 is used accordingly. If you can find it funny, you don’t have to.
