🧑‍🦳👴10 Emoji that Show Your Age


A poll of 2,000 16 to 24-year-olds conducted by METRO in the UK revealed that there are in fact ten emoji that show your age. The ten emojis that only 'old' people use




1. Thumbs up 👍

2. Red heart ❤️

3. Ok hand 👌

4. Check mark ✔️

5. Poo -💩

6. Loudly Crying Face 😭

7. Monkey eye cover 🙈

8. Clappy hands 👏

9. Kiss mark 💋

10. Grimacing Face😬


Unless you want to be seen as utterly decrepit, a good move would be to avoid “thumbs up”.


Jeremy Burge, the chief emoji officer of Emojipedia, notes Boomers tend to use emojis literally while younger people get more creative. "It's common wisdom on TikTok that the laughing crying emoji is for boomers." (ed- it's true, boomers can't think creatively 😂).
