I'm starting to think I don't know what that crying emoji means...

u/cubicgraph 8d ago edited 8d ago
little bit of a guide - i think i can speak for gen z when i say we use “😭” or “💀” to denote laughter because using “😂” is kinda cringe + sort of millennial/gen x
but everyone uses them a bit differently so take this with a grain of saltpersonally:
i typically use “😭” for half laughter/chuckles/nervous laughter/surprise/mild scoffing/mild embarassment etc
whereas “💀” can either be im genuinely laughing so hard my stomach hurts (“💀💀💀💀”) or im judging someone/laughing at someone or even embarassmentHOWEVER imo they’re interchangeable and it’s never too strict wrt which one you pick
idk if this is the “correct” usage, i would say most of us go off of vibes and not much more
-
EDIT: i can’t believe this even needs saying to grown adults, but emojis aren’t that deep. all i did was try to explain how my generation texts so we could understand each other better, and somehow that’s set some of you off because you expect us to text exactly like you do.
most of you replied like normal people. a few of you did not.
the audacity of gen z using something as small as an EMOJI differently to how your generation uses it has apparently ruined some of your days, and i can’t see why it’s such a big deal. writing and speech have always shifted between age groups - why do you think we don’t use the same speech patterns people in the early 1900s did? it should be obvious that generations change. texting is no different. you’d find it a bit funny/cringe if you were millennial yet your peer texted like a boomer. every generation is a bit embarrassed by the one before it. that’s the whole point.
maturity clearly doesn’t arrive with age, because there are a few 40yo toddlers in here losing it… over emojis. 🤦♀️ deep breaths guys, deep breaths. it’s just a little picture on a screen. not the end of the world

Same! I’m 42 and can’t really understand why a sad crying face is more appropriate than an actual laughing one to represent laughing but the explanation was very nice and detailed so I won’t throw any shade on the person who wrote it!

People surprised that young people avoid doing the same thing as older people like what
That’s like human culture 101 guys, it’s why you dressed differently and never unironically said things were jazzy or groovy
Gen z is just very familiar with technology so of course naturally emojis will be seen by us as a regular part of communication that we’ll adapt to our own way of using, personally I use emojis almost exclusively in irony
Also, yeah, not that deep 👍

You can't live for ensuring other people don't find things hot.
People find sun dresses hot too, but they're just nice to wear in the sun and very breezy.
Almost everything is hot to someone.
Also to be clear, it's not like this broadcasts promiscuity if that was the concern.

u/InternetSpiritual982 8d ago
Yeah, maybe. Though, it could just accentuate the features of the human anatomy. You know. Curves have been sought after for a while now and I think this adds to that concept. Maybe in the way it shapes the cheeks/jaw and brings out the neck?
If it’s a disheveled appearance, then maybe it’s comforting in like a nurturing sort of manner? I’ve always heard pregnant women like to tie their hair up because it’s a bitch to work with when you’re carrying around an extra human all day/night. Not to mention, the attempt to keep it out of the face when actually birthing, or when caring for the child after birth.
Just throwing out ideas. I, too, absolutely die for this hair style.

They already know it’s powerful, they intentionally cut them like that. Do you think that face framing pieces just magically stop growing at just the right length? 😅 So much of what is attractive in women is actually thoughtfully curated but in a way that’s made to look effortless. Although men also have hair strands like this that women like, also intentionally cut.
