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.
I guess we are too old for this shit to even matter. I mean we lived to see the OG emoji invented, there was no ironic or non ironic way to use it. And there was only one.
The OG emoji were ascii.
I know. I meant the original smiley.
Gotcha :)
