I’m older gen Z and definitely use lol, lol
Its because this stupid word was everywhere when our minds were being trained on IRC and MSN lol
lol
Lol lmao
👋👏
I actually used to hate it back in the day because it was so overused but then when I hit the Skype era, I succumbed to my friends and started spamming it along with lmao because it was easy to type on a keyboard with zero effort.
Also that one evolution extinction meme of all the dead ones like rofl and roflmao.
Rest in Spaghetti Never Forgetti lol
It’s really not that hard XD
xD
Get bent lol
lol yeah this is very accurate lol
Millennials are in their 40’s ffs
That’s why it’s a middle aged guy in the meme. Also, it’s goodo have older people talking like normal humans and not corporate chatbots.
There’s no difference between this and emojis. People use them out of nervousness.
ok boomer 🍆💦☠️
It’s not that hard lol
Technically a xennial, but yeah it’s a necessity lol
My speech is really blunt so I feel like every other thing I write would otherwise be misinterpreted as some personal attack lol
(Now reread it without the lols)
Sometimes I do exclamation points instead of lols!
I’m a Xennial and I have hated the LOL shit right from the start. Actually aside from the basic abbreviations from IRC, I tend to avoid acronyms entirely and prefer properly typed messages. Anyone sending “lol” with every message won’t see a lot of responses from me.
Roflmao

What is the Gen Z approved way to express emotion?
💀
thanks 💀 lol
😭
I mean, in-person North American boomers had the effusive smile. Basically the same thing.
For me and the ppl I chatted/texted with was it mostly smiles like: xD xP XD xd x3 and the laughing was haha, hahahahaha, HAHAHA, sometimes lol and rofl but most of the times were lol used as a way to say “that was weird” or “that is stupid”, could also be a question “is it supposed to be funny?” Or a statement about what you said or will say “I am silly” so ppl would know they can find it funny/it is ok to laugh.
I rarely used lol for actually laughing, it was more used as “that/this is silly”. I think the younger millenniums said lol and rofl instead of smilies more often but I am unsure about that one.
Lol. Roflmao even.
