My general metric:
Hahaha = gen x
Lol = older millenial
Lmao = younger millenial
๐ = Gen z
I'm Gen Z and use all of them
For me its moreso about what the older gens won't use than what the younger ones will
This is at least true for me as I'm an xennial or whatever and i use both lol n haha depending on my mood but never lmao. Lol
I am a xennial as well and that was dangerously close to using lol as punctuation which will lose you that sweet xennial cred.
Seriously though I'm happy to be from this microgeneration. Analog childhood/digital adulthood makes for cool people.
