I'm older gen Z and definitely use 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
Get bent lol
It's really not that hard XD
xD
lol yeah this is very accurate 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)

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.
Lol, just add it to the beginning, jk lol.
It's not that hard lol
Its because this stupid word was everywhere when our minds were being trained on IRC and MSN lol
it’s just another intonation marker, a hedging particle, or a pragmatic tone indicator.
it signals thee sentence is for comradery, but not immediate action
lol
There's no difference between this and emojis. People use them out of nervousness.
ok boomer 🍆💦☠️
Well, at least we grew out of adding xD to the end of everything! XDDD

What is the Gen Z approved way to express emotion?
💀
😭
thanks 💀 lol
nah, we good. lol
I know I overuse lol. I hate it. Lol
No, I'm not trying to do that. lol
For me the thing which i do the most is adding "..." Multiple times between the sentences or at the last of the sentences. 😭
I finally found out about the ellipses phenomenon amongst the older gen a while ago, and how it was a common format in writing that they tried to transfer to texting and millennials constantly misinterpret as it passive aggression, which causes all sorts of anxiety lol
Shit you not, once asked for a recommendation letter from a summer job employer on campus for an open mic music lounge I hadn't visited in a long time, and all he emailed me back was
"Sure..."
Needless to say, I thought "Oh fuck, he hates me. Nevermind. I should have come by more-" and never bothered to follow up on it lmfao
Well i think I just use multiple ellipses to show that I’m thinking before I answer. Without ellipses, it sounds too fast and straightforward.
