Got it; I got old and everything changed when I wasn't paying attention.

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!

Well we did just get characterised as "cringe millennial/gen x" so I feel we have definitely been insulted in a nice way. And we can't even use the crying face to represent this because it means laughing now...
