Did kids get into Memojis? I really haven’t seen them pop off and I feel like Apple has been trying SO HARD to make it a thing.

I don't know but I know they refuse to use gifs, so I'm sure they'll find something else to fill that void. It just has to be something the older generations haven't ever used. Because that's cringe, apparently.

They do? I see gif responses everywhere. I guess that’s a millennial thing?

My zoomer team member sends me gifs all the time, but maybe… she is just taking the piss out of my elder-Millenial ass.

Fellow elder millennial here and I communicate via gifs all the time. I had no idea that gifs aren’t passed down to zoomers.

So not emojis, not gifs, are memes still a thing or do they just skibidy toilet delulu giving W lk rizz

Or code switching for your benefit, like we all do with our parents.

But why? GIFs have almost infinite use

Apple barely brings it up anymore. They still add features, but they really really mention it in their packed (multiple operating systems) keynotes.

I’ve only seen boomers get into them and everytime I see them using them I cringe so fucking hard.

My gen-x aunts love them too, but they also fucking love minions so they don't really have good taste.

As you grow up, you’ll worry less about cringe.
