😭 or 😂: Do Your Emojis Make You Look Old?: When it comes to emoji usage, we’re all just following teen girls.

😭 topped Google’s 2025 ranking after surpassing 🤣 and 😂.

Because Google’s data lacked demographic details, the analysis used Reddit forums as imperfect proxies for generational trends.

On Reddit, teenagers, particularly girls, adopted new emoji patterns earlier, while older users remained more loyal to 🤣 and 😂.

🥀 was Google’s fastest-rising emoji in 2025 and ranked 93rd, while 🗿 climbed from 482nd in 2021 to 33rd in 2025.

Usually the more a group is a minority, the more they have reason to differentiate themselves.
