Just when you think there's nothing more innocuous than the smiley face along comes Gen Z to rain on the parade. The generation born between 1997 and 2012 don't have a positive view of the smiley, they find it sarcastic, passive-aggressive and dismissive, same deal with the thumbs up emoji. If you happen to care what Gen Z finds acceptable that would be the skull emoji, meaning, "I'm dead from laughing" or the fire emoji meaning something is "lit". As far a flirty emojis they use ghost and devil smiley emojis. My take is they're trying too hard to be different.
